What you missed on Sunday Kos ....
- In On Cancer Screening, Politics, and Communication, DemFromCT waded into the controversy surround the newest recommendations about frequency of mammograms and pap smears, and wound up tempted to suggest that "if you want people to get mammograms, tell them they can't, and if you want to get people not to get flu shots, tell them they have to."
- In Trick'n, DarkSyde tricked readers into reading an explanation as to how climate change deniers were distorting emails between environmentalists and scientists in order to claim a great global conspiracy concocting global warming had been perpetuated over decades.
- In Resistance is Futile, DarkSyde explained the relationship between our complex immune systems and how evolution contributed to common auto-immune disorders.
- In Strategy Can Be Ideology, But the Party is Not a Movement, Laura Clawson explored the definitional and practical differences between terms that are being thrown around loosely--and often inherently insultingly--in the health care reform discussion.
- In The Atomic Rulebook: Iran and IAEA Safeguard Violations, Plutonium Page discussed the founding and purpose of the IAEA, its rules and how Iran is reacting to notifications from the agency--and what this might mean about that country's activities and the IAEA board meeting slated for November 26.
- In Playing Chess With Russia: An Update on the New START Agreement, Plutonium Page briefly outlined the origins of the first START treaty with Soviet Russia, which has led to a significant reduction in the arsenals of both the U.S. and Russia. A missed deadline looms, however, for a new treaty and she discussed possible scenarios that may result.
