Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Pielke's work on climate change has taken a beating from Dr. Stephen Schneider, who said that with Pielke "one consistent pattern emerges-he is a self-aggrandizer who sets up straw men, knocks them down, and takes credit for being the honest broker to explain the mess-and in fact usually adds little new social science to his analysis. http://www.hillheat.com/articles/2012/07/31/stephen-schneiders-criticism-of-roger-pielke-jr-a-self-aggrandizer-trickster-and-careerist
Nah, Eartha Kitt's more to Sr's taste and disposition.
I've always thought Jr's (And Muller, come to think of it) song was The Offspring's.
Thought it was the Pielke Polka
Roll out the babble
We'll have a babble of fun...
Hell, hell, global warming's here
What the heck do we care?
More Mephistopheles than Mehitablel.
Toujours meh.
The best live performance I have ever seen was Eartha Kitt in a cabaret show in the mid 1960's.
She was electrifying.
Orson Welles called her "the most exciting woman in the world".
Thanks for that!

Has Ethon been following the entertaining Pielke Jr. meltdown over at SKS?
I thought Sr's evasiveness and goalpost-shifting was bad. His son takes it to a new level.
