A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

The fishy source of our omega-3s
Like so many other things in this world, is the United States leading the exploitation of a natural resource to its extinction?

Viagra good for your real love muscle too - and Levitra and Cialis
From the “yes, that’s actually true” department, Viagra may fight heart disease.
Viagra, along with cousins Levitra, and Cialis, might lower heart risk by one-third.
Don’t laugh; read the story.
Of course, most people don’t realize how inaccurate studies are in the field of medicine, compared to physics.
In medicine, you can have a false positive rate as high as 5 percent and it’s still considered a well-constructed study.
In physics, the baseline is 0.01 percent, just 500 times higher.
In other words, while Viagra MAY turn out to be the real deal, it may not, at all.
