And the Washington Monthly linked to this guy as a "contributing editor"

Oh lordy lordy, Tom Bethell is attacking the theory of relativity again. This time, he uses a bunch of equivocation from various physicists about whether phenomenon X is really true or just appears to be true (inevitable when you're talking about a theory in which surprising things turn out to be observer-relative) to insinuate that the whole thing is destined for the dustbin of history.

I really don't have anything better to say about Bethell's take on relativity than John Farrell said back in 2000. Unlike, say, Rush Limbaugh's take on ozone depletion, it never caught on as widely repeated conservative dogma the previous times Bethell tried taking down Einstein in The American Spectator, but I guess hope springs eternal.
