In which I do something I've never, ever, done before...

...and very well may not ever do again: tell you that I actually enjoyed reading a post on the Discovery Institute's blog.

I haven't commented on the whole Ida the fossil hoopla before now, but, like a good chunk of the science blogging community, I think calling the whole thing overblown is a serious understatement. Over at the Discovery Institute's media complaints blog, Richard Sternberg has a post up. And, damn it, I think it's actually not a bad bit of blogging at all.
