Another gem from Pixy:

The Politics of Sense and Nonsense

I'd love to read a book with that title - assuming it lived up to the title. Or even to write one, though it would take me a full year of work, because I'm not nearly well-enough informed on the subject to even consider writing it now. Either way, though, we need such a book, because the current issue of New Scientist* has a headline

Conspiracy threat to anti-nuke treaty

Who? China selling secrets to Pakistan? Pakistan dealing with Iran? North Korea and Syria?

Read it and weep.
