The incredibly stupid CRU-gate story just got even stupider.

The right wing is now suing NASA.

And yet, it’s still not weird enough for me.

Regular readers know that I have little regard for the New York Times. But I assumed that, no matter how misguided the paper's politics might be, it did have some standards relating to grammar and punctuation. So I was astonished to see this, on the front page of the Times' web site:

My fifth-grade teacher, Miss Klock, would be spinning in her grave, except that she was a Republican and probably never had much faith in the Times in the first place. The reporters evidently knew better; here is how their piece begins:

The celebrity-seeking couple who sneaked into a state dinner this week came face-to-face with President Obama and his wife, Michelle, the White House said Friday in a disclosure that underscored the seriousness of the security breach and prompted an abject apology from the Secret Service.

What's next? "Me and her went to the mall" in the Washington Post?

Lord Christopher Monckton is often cited by anti-AGW websites as a credible figure to argue against global warming, despite the fact that he has no scientific background, and has even been caught several times cherry-picking and faking data to make his arguments.

And now, Monckton will be appearing on the show of the most insane, hateful conspiracy theorist currently fleecing gullible people in the US — 9/11 Truther Alex Jones: Alex Jones’ Prison Planet.com » The Alex Jones Show – L I V E – November 27th With Lord Monckton.

Will this harm Monckton’s credibility in the climate denial industry? Of course not! It’s not about credibility — it’s about noise.

Hilarious. Yesterday the Drudge Report linked to Tim Lambert’s Deltoid blog at ScienceBlogs — because Drudge mistakenly thought that Lambert’s post debunking the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition’s dishonesty was actually supporting them.

As soon as Drudge realized Deltoid wasn’t a climate denial site, he removed the link. (Just in case you think the Drudge Report isn’t promoting an agenda.)

But not before Lambert’s blog was swamped with completely insane comments from climate deniers; he’s posted a selection here: Drudge and the denialists.

For example:

It’s not science, it’s the religion of the left… Science has never had one thing to do with it. It is simply about destroying the very concept of God and replacing it with MASSIVE government! All hail his royal F-CKTARD COWARD, Barack Obama!

Where would people ever get the idea that the right wing is anti-science?
