Dennis Prager caught talking out of his ass again
Dennis Prager is a rightwing LA talk show hosts that pulls 'facts' out of his ass to support his rightwing agenda

LETTER OF THE DAY: Prager column inaccurate
Posted: 05/19/2009 05:47:24 PM PDT

In his column titled "Socialism, secularism suck the vitality out of society" (Comment page, May 13), Dennis Prager asks who can name any European who has done anything lately, after naming many familiar names of old in classical music, literature and other fields.

So I checked the winners of Nobel prizes over the last 15 years and found, surprise, many Europeans and others well represented.

For literature one has to go back to 1993 to find an American winner. Since then there were several from Poland and England, with France, Scandinavia and Germany in the mix.

The United States was well represented in chemistry and physics but so were Germany, France and England.

6. Atheists make up a large percentage of scientists while people in prison are made up of
a large number of people who believe in God.
