Rationale Thoughts
“Critical verbiage from Tim van Gelder”. My blog. [29 Nov 06]

“Humbug! Online – a blog for iconoclasts”
Wicked stuff.  “Regular postings based on fallacies covered in our book Humbug! … Using a seamless combination of both passion and restraint, we expose erroneous thinking with irony, whimsy, sarcasm, satire, caricature, “distortature” and occasional breathtaking hypocrisy. Humbug! the book is a considered and carefully written commentary on fallacies. Humbug! the blog is less considered, more spontaneous and at times more outrageous. No poppy is too short to be lopped.” [16 Feb 06]

Fallacy Files Weblog by Gary Curtis
Blog associated with Curtis’ excellent Fallacy Files website. [11 Apr 04]

The NonSequitur
“Speaking Validity to Power: A Logical Analysis of Political Media”.  Regular doses of logical dissection of political rhetoric. By two philosophy professors. [29 Mar 06]

Notes and Comment by Ophelia Benson
Blog associated with Butterflies and Wheels, which Benson edits.  “Our short and pithy observations on the passing scene as it relates to the mission of Butterflies and Wheels. Woolly-headed or razor-sharp comments in the media, anti-rationalist rhetoric in books or magazines or overheard on the bus, it’s all grist to our mill. And sometimes we will hold forth on the basis of no inspiration at all beyond what happens to occur to us.” [11 Apr 04]

SCAM –  Fighting Spurious Complementary & Alternative Medicine by Kevin Paine [2 Nov 04]

You’ve got to be joking! by Kevin Paine
“A look at the ridiculous, absurd and just plain laughable antics of the human race. The only thing more absurd than the conspiracy theories, paranormal abilities and miracles that people claim, is that others believe them. An exercise in Critical Thinking.” [2 Nov 04] [[appears to be defunct – Mar 06]

Church of Critical Thinking
“Your Suspicion is Our Mission.” Spreading the gospel of critical thinking.  Primarily interested in separation of Church and State, but this blog covers many other topics besides, and is unusually well written.  The only thing which gives me a bit of pause is that the author – a “David” – reveals so little about himself.
