Does anyone find it the slightest bit strange that Al seems to be the

I mean the last time the I-man was doing his thing, there were

(CNN) -- A new national poll suggests that three out of four Americans
feel President Bush's departure from office is coming not a moment too soon.

Twenty-eight percent of those polled say President Bush is the worst
president in U.S. history.

Twenty-eight percent of those polled say President Bush is the worst
president in U.S. history.

Seventy-five percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp.
survey released Friday said they're glad Bush is going; 23 percent
indicated they'll miss him.

"Earlier this year, Bush scored some of the lowest presidential approval
ratings we've seen in half a century, so it's understandable that the
public is eager for a new president to step in," said Keating Holland,
CNN polling director.

CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider added, "As President Bush
prepares to leave office, the American public has a parting thought:
Good riddance. At least that's the way three-quarters feel."

Environmentalists Fear Risks From Tennessee Ash Spill

HARRIMAN, Tenn - Environmentalists worry the ash-laden sludge that
coated a Tennessee neighborhood when a power plant dike burst could pose
a health risk, although initial tests by a public utility company have
shown no threat to drinking water.

Crews were expected to work through the holiday weekend to contain the
aftermath of Monday's breach at the coal-fired Kingston power plant, run
by the nation's largest public utility, about 50 miles west of Knoxville.

Officials at the Tennessee Valley Authority have said preliminary tests
suggest that there is no danger to millions of people who get their
drinking water from the 652-mile Tennessee River.

And TVA spokesman Gil Francis said crews were cleaning up the sludge.

"The cleanup is making progress," Francis said Thursday, adding that the
group was moving from the road to other areas. TVA brought in 30 pieces
of equipment and more than 100 workers for the effort, which will take
four to six weeks to complete, he said.

You are incredibly ignorant about how science works. There is no
conspiracy among scientists; quite the opposite, in fact. Physics,
chemistry and mathematics attracts the brightest people in the world,
and they are highly competitive. Nothing makes a scientist's career
like proving some older, more well respected scientist wrong, or
proving that a well loved theory is BS.

Peer review *is* independent review -- the reviewers are people from
different universities all over the world. Of course, in highly
specialized areas, the only people who can catch mistakes are those
who have an intimate knowledge of the science. No one from Bob Jones
University would be qualified.

I have done review for mathematics and physics journals, and that job
is taken very seriously because it is an extremely important part of
the scientific process. The last thing a journal editor wants is to
publish something that is wrong.
