Extra

Evening Extra was full of an inordinate amount of people blaming the government for snow. They strangely decided to include a reading of one person's off-the-shelf text saying 'if they can't predict snow in an hour how can they say anything about climate change?' Answer: because there's a difference between weather and climate, as any fool should know.

Anyway, enough kvetching. The highlight of the show was good friend Mel punditifying on post-Iowa prospects for New Hampshire. A nice brief discussion, only marred by Karen Patterson asking the inevitable 'who's going to win the presidential election?' question. Hear Mel struggle to find a polite version of 'how in hell should I know?' here at about 2:13.

Update: Mel has some interesting things to say over on Accountability Bloke

Dawkins

I see that Mel has linked to a podcast from the CBC of a lecture (mp3) by Richard Dawkins on 'The Strangeness of Science.' I always find Dawkins a bit too aggressive for my tastes, but am looking forward to listening to this.
