O'Reilly remark rekindles
'intelligent design' dispute 
The intelligent design controversy is still with us, as the reaction to Bill O'Reilly's recent remark in its favor demonstrates.

Media Matters, which seeks donations to "fight conservative misinformation," is among those who draw a bead on the Fox News commentator's recent assertion.

O'Reilly: "Intelligent Design Does Not Contradict Science"

Paul Conant, editor of Newz from Limbo, has written on the topic from a logico-mathematical perspective. A typical reader would have a tough time with parts of Conant's latest essay, The knowledge delusion,

which discusses the book The God Delusion by the Darwinist Richard Dawkins, but yet might be able to glean something of value from it.

Other of Conant's pages have been gathered together with links published in the post below.

Corzine sad over 'what has transpired'
Jon Corzine, the Wall Street wheeler dealer and former New Jersey governor, resigned today, saying he was sad over "what had transpired."

His statement:
I have voluntarily offered my resignation to the Board of Directors of MF Global.  This was a difficult decision, but one that I believe is best for the firm and its stakeholders.

I feel great sadness for what has transpired at MF Global and the impact it has had on the firm’s clients, employees and many others.

I intend to continue to assist the Company and its Board in their efforts to respond to regulatory inquiries and issues related to the disposition of the firm’s assets.
