A reader sends “Sully bait in DuPont”:
It was a good day to rip open a new can of controversy by dumping on Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s philistine scientism – not science at which he is superb and enlightening, but scientism. Readers pushed back hard here. A good day to rant on sponsored content one more time. A good day to look out of a window at Irish turf and sky.
I tackled the thorny topic of America’s Game of Thrones – that revolving crew of dynasties that dominate politics here far more than in most other countries. We noticed that Florida is much more favorable to Hillary in 2016 than it was for Obama in 2012. And we cast a skeptical eye on Putin’s latest machinations in his chilling new masked form of warfare. Oh and one tear-jerking cat and dog.
The most popular post of the day remained the exposure of author Jo Becker’s coordinated campaign to get her exclusive sources to promote her book promoting them. Next up: The Closed Mind Of Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Hi Andrew and everyone at the Dish. I recently noticed that your site was no longer recognizing me as a subscriber, but didn’t think anything of it until I just hit my “Read On” limit on all of the devices I use. Still, I couldn’t figure out why it hadn’t been recognizing me until today when I remembered that I had recently gotten a new credit card because the old one (with which I purchased my recurring monthly membership) had been compromised. Problem solved now! And while I was there, I decided to increase my monthly contribution from $3.33/mo (which is about double the annual rate) to $4.20/mo.
Thanks again for the Dish. I may not always agree with you, but I always try to understand your point of view. Even when you’re dead wrong. Haha. Seriously though, the Dish is the best thing on the Internet! I would be crushed if I couldn’t get my Dish every day.
See you in the morning.
