There's a whole circuit of them with the CEI and AEI as the Ivy League
equivalents. They always give their people these titles such as "scholar" or
something along those lines.

Don't know if you saw this article I did this summer about Milloy of
JunkScience.com. I did the story because he was chosen as a journalism judge
by AAAS.

Anyways, his sidekick who runs TASSC with him is Bonner Cohen. Cohen is now
at the National Center for Public Policy Research. It's a second tier group,
or maybe the farm league for the top dogs like CEI.

Believe it or not, there's dozens of these think tanks, most are here in DC,
but they are also in other cities as well.

By the way, saw McIntyre at the CCSP conference. His poster was right up
front when you walked into the poster hall. He should be there today as
well.
