Your Mandarin would like to take a moment to provide an important public service announcement and award the coveted Boot in the Gut™ award. Apparently water does not provide the health benefits that we have all been led to believe … Continue reading →

Dr. J. is scratching his head. Before the seas were lowered, the skies cleared, and the heavenly hosts sang out, “Mmmm mmmm mmm, Barack Hussein Obama…” in celebration of The One’s jamming of Obamacare down our throats like an otorhinolaryngologist’s … Continue reading →
Dr. J. has finally gotten around to this news item that is near and hear to his heart (no pun intended), an item which just goes to show, you can’t predict the logic (or lack thereof) of the FDA. You … Continue reading →
Our apologies to the various residents around the Plateau of Leng, on which resides our Castle. Those of you in the area around 10pm last night saw something that was either really cool or horribly frightening. If you were scared … Continue reading →

Czar, the depths of depravity and cruelty to which the Mandarin descends when experimenting on dogs is abominable. Please tell me he does something to cats, too. Indeed. He once put a kitten in a boot amplification module, with horrifying … Continue reading →
Czar, we were horrified to learn of Mandarin’s gratuitous experimentation on animals. Is there any more? Please say yes. Here is an experiment in which a dog was introduced to a ball in a trash can. The Czar of MuscovyБожію … Continue reading →
Czar, is it true that the Mandarin engages in bizarre experiments on animals? Yes, sad to say it is true. Here’s a typical one. Shocking. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. … Continue reading →

The Czar has an idea for GorT. Take a current Time magazine story back to the year 1936, and let the editors of that era read and comment accordingly. Bet that will be entertaining. In case you did not know, … Continue reading →
Dear Czar, Shouldn’t the title of this article be ‘PANIC WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEE’: I am confused. However, I am coherently grateful for all of the recent Gormogon posts. Keep up the good work! God Bless, JS, Operative and … Continue reading →
Three quick scientific updates. Remember the Czar going on about being careful with a claim about what the universe was like prior to the Big Bang? Fortunately, even the legendary Dr. Penrose is not above being lectured to. Evidently, other … Continue reading →
So look what the Volgi dug up in the basement. It’s from a 1954 issue of Collier’s magazine. Yep, before all the global cooling… wait, global warming… heck, now it’s cooling again… began. Do your Gormogons believe in man-made climate … Continue reading →
Before your local newspaper screws this up, the Czar thought he should try to explain a curious news item going around the scientific circles. The story is that famous physicist Roger Penrose has described evidence that supports a controversial theory … Continue reading →
And all this time the Czar has been saying that President Obama has completely failed to fulfill his promises on increasing the role of science in politics! Because we learn that Obama science advisor John Holdren will be appearing on … Continue reading →
Astonishing silence appears to the response of the scientific community regarding Harold Lewis’ spectacular resignation letter. Of course, the anti-AGW crowds are eating this up. The Czar thinks that might be too eager a reaction: if the Hadley CRU incident … Continue reading →

…goes to the idiosyncratic, sometimes dead creepily wrong, sometimes terrifically perceptive and funny Steve Sailer. And he’s right—a batshit insane scientist handling anthrax is probably your leading source. Plus, the anthrax DNA seems to be pretty conclusive. I’m still a … Continue reading →
