My Bear Grylls survival food moment would be avocados.

Tip o’ the hat to Greg.

Quote of the Day:

  1. Klass Act?
    When I read of the smear tactics of debunkers like Klass, I’m reminded of right-wing smear experts in America like Karl Rove, Lee Atwater, and others (e.g, Willie Horton, the “Swift Boat” campaign against John Kerry, etc.). Debunkers strike me as being the Republicans/conservatives of the paranormal, whereas “believers” are the liberals. Ha. I sense there must be emotional problems at the root of extreme debunkers like Klass–but then again, there’s probably emotional disturbance at the heart of extreme True Believers, too. BTW, I once had the curious experience of talking with Stanton Friedman (during a break at a conference) when Klass walked up, and the two began teasing one another for a good five minutes (over silly things–something about monies being collected at a nearby booth); Klass struck me as a perfectly likable guy, but not easy to reconcile that with his darker side.

      When I clicked that news article, I was expecting it to be a cafe where coffee is served for cats! I was relieved that they aren’t hyping up our feline friends with caffeine and sugar.
