Yay! No Sanjay Gupta for surgeon general

Friday, March 06, 2009

Great! I've noted before that I'm not a fan.

CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said on Thursday that he withdrew from consideration for U.S. surgeon general to focus more on his family and medical career.

"It was a really tough decision," said Gupta, a father of two young daughters and a third on the way. "For me it really came down to a sense of timing more than anything else."


Paul Krugman also wrote before on the problem with Gupta. Here's one of the videos from back then during the kerfuffle between Gupta and Moore:



I don't consider him to be a bad person, just a tad sloppy and never found him to be all that impressive.

Bit off topic, but congratulations on making it into a WorldNetDaily article.

""Mithridates" also commented, "Pro-tip for people reviewing the book: giving it one or five stars makes it painfully obvious that you're just giving it that number because you feel the author to be on or against your side. To actually make it look like a real review you're going to want to go with two or four stars." "

Apparently you're part of a vast conspiracy to silence Ray Comfort!

Awesome! Thanks for the head up. For the record I'm a theist but creationism is for crackpots. My comment there was for both sides because it's so ridiculous to see books on Amazon with nothing but 1 and 5-star ratings. Weird that they quoted me directly but still didn't understand what I was getting at.
