As I mentioned yesterday, I was on an NPR show with a couple of the scientists involved in this stuff. Here’s the link to the podcast/audio . I haven’t listened yet, but I believe I come on about twenty minutes in, for those interested.

Also: The history of liberals attempting to dismiss conservatives as mental defects is one of my pet interests. Indeed, I’m writing about the history of this sort of thing for the magazine. I have quite a large file on it, but if anybody’s seen anything interesting on the subject that’s come out recently that I might have missed, please shoot me an email.
