Science Buzz In the first presidential debate, John McCain cited a bear DNA study as an example of pork barrel spending. He seemed also to imply a hatred of bears. The bear project in Montana, as it turns out, isn't a pork product, and even the numbers he quoted were wrong. Nonetheless, his dislike of bears remains.
TV Buzz The prequel series to Werner Herzog's documentary, Grizzly Man, premieres tonight on Animal Planet. The New York Times reviewed the show, and said it looks like "a chronicle of one man's extended suicide". Timothy Treadwell, the deceased star of Grizzly Man, is obviously the star of the show, as the 8 part documentary takes viewers through the hours of unused footage of Treadwell playing with bears, calling them names, and being generally crazy. Kids, don't play with bears.
