National Geographic gets it so right...

I've kept my National Geographic subscription for years, and it's probably why I am the person I am today, after I spent a childhood buried in my family collection that went back to the 1950s (the 1957 IGY issues are why I came to love the music of Donald Fagen).

But the November 2004 cover article just takes my breath away. It's a wonderful condemnation of the creation "science" meme...

As Ben Hammersely says: "You get the feeling someone just lost it one day in the editorial meeting. Frankly, I'm going to have this one framed. Worship the Yellow, my young friends."

And in other news the Chicago Tribune nearly got it right with this feature, but pulled it at the last minute - literally...

They pulled an entire section of the paper becuase it contained an article that referred to but didn't actully *include* a naughty word?

That's fucking stupid.
