Just a quick post to let everyone know that the original video of Jan Schakowsky that I posted on April 27 was removed from YouTube tonight due to a copyright claim. I’ll have a lot more to say about who is behind this in the near future. For now I’ll just say that the motivation for suppressing this seems pretty obvious considering what Schakowsky had to say.

I’ve been hearing about this all day and it doesn’t disappoint: On the one hand, I think the Panther case clearly got special treatment given that the misconduct is captured on video.

First it was Senator Grassley. [...]
It’s time to take a short break from the tension of politics and enjoy a little Science. This YouTube vid features Kate McAlpine, a Michigan State graduate student who raps about particle physics and the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland. It is very clever and worth watching. You just might learn something, so give it a listen, yo! WORD!!!John on July 12, 2010 at 8:05 am
Interesting test that you can take right now:
