Read MoreThat Time I Was (Willingly) on Fox News
May 9, 2018On a slow news day in March of 2002, I was the token socialist for a roundtable segment on the "O'Reilly Factor." I think they destroyed the tape, because I haven't been able to find it on any transcription service. When Fox News still handled this stuff themselves, they claimed there was 12 hours of missing footage from the day - conveniently including the live show and its late-night re-run. Anyway, with some help I was able to dig up this transcript. What's interesting is how much has - and hasn't - changed. What hasn't changed is that Bill O'Reilly…

September 4, 2009I rarely write directly about work on this blarg, but some of this year's big adventures got a nice write-up from Beryl Benderly at Science Magazine. Relevant excerpts follows: On 20 July, the postdocs at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, received official recognition for their new union. It's the nation's third postdoc union, but the first to be part of the same union as their lab chiefs. After a swift and successful signature-collecting campaign, the 350 postdocs on the university's three campuses became a bargaining unit of the Rutgers Council of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP)-American…
Read MoreBill O’Reilly’s Flying Circus
March 19, 2006Four years ago, I was a guest on the "O'Reilly Factor," part of a panel discussion on the income gap. It was a wonderfully surreal moment that, alas, I have yet to repeat. I just stumbled upon a transcript of the show. Below is a pretty funny bit that I believe is short enough that I can legally quote it. Missing here is O'Reilly's assertion that Cornell University is a socialist plot, "Parade" editor and DNC Treasurer Andrew Tobias inviting me to join the Democratic party, and, finally, Mr. O'Reilly brusquely ending the segment and announcing that Mel Gibson would…
