Lottsa Fun

Chris Mooney has a good piece in Mother Jones summarizing John Lott's increasingly unprofessional behavior. Over at Mooney's blog he has some more things to say as well as linking to further discussion in the blogworld.

One thing left out of Chris's article was the time that Lott used his "expertise" in one field to enter into another one. Specifically, his explicitly fraudulent work on the Florida voting problems.

And, yes, pushing bogus statistics to cover up the disenfranchisement of minority voters gets you in my "bigot" column.
