Academia Today

Pat at Stubborn Facts learns a bit about how some contemporary academics respond to criticism:

As with the inital paper, the opening paragraph (initially written as a letter to the Philidelphia Inquirer responding to the Smerconish article) includes a massive, gratuitous, ad hominem swipe at all conservatives:

"Mr. Smerconish chose to swift-boat us and our research in the tradition of the attacks made on Senator Kerry and Congressman Murtha's war records in 2004, not to mention Rush Limbaugh's ridiculing Michael J. Fox's Parkinson tremors."

That's pretty funny - a shorter defense would be Bush Lied, People Died, so this paper is right!
