Paul's tract record bucks GOP establishment

Posted: at 12:43 am

(CNN) -

Rand Paul isn't your run-of-the-mill Republican teasing 2016 ambitions.

It's early in the game, but Paul's crusade against government overreach and his willingness to buck the establishment GOP are turning heads. And his recent popularity has some arguing the Kentucky Republican might have some staying power.

"State of the Union" political panelists Newt Gingrich, Neera Tanden and Susan Page agree Paul is one of the most interesting among the potential 2016 presidential candidates.

"Here's a guy who's got Neera Tanden and Newt Gingrich in agreement that he's interesting and provocative -- and so I definitely think Rand Paul gets the 'most interesting Republican on the scene' prize for the past year," said Page, Washington bureau chief for USA Today.

Page said Paul is "clearly a factor" going into the 2016 elections.

"And if anyone thought he was just Ron Paul Two -- that's clearly not the case," she said, referring to his father, who ran for the GOP nomination in 2008 and also ran for president in 1988 as a libertarian candidate. "He's carving out his own identity, it's distinctive. Sometimes he takes on Republicans, sometimes he takes on Democrats," she said.

The libertarian-leaning senator is fresh off a speech at the historically liberal-leaning University of California at Berkeley, where he talked about the National Security Agency's surveillance program and the Republican Party's need for change.

"I think Rand Paul is actually raising profound questions that go right at the heart of the American establishment," said Gingrich, a co-host on CNN's "Crossfire" and former GOP House speaker. "Rand Paul is touching on a nerve here, which every conservative ought to take seriously."

Host Candy Crowley said Paul's interesting because he's "unpredictable on some issues."

Wallace Baine, Baine Street: Why the silence on science?

Posted: at 12:42 am

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a rock star.

Or, maybe it's better to compare the country's most famous astrophysicist to a sports star, the kind who'll spend two hours after every game autographing anything thrust in his direction.

If you have anything more than a passing familiarity with the mass media, you will have noticed that, in the past couple of weeks, this cat has been everywhere: CNN, Colbert, NPR, The New Yorker, Reddit, Good Morning Bakersfield.

I called him up last week and asked if he could come over and tell me about dark energy while I was eating breakfast. I woke up to find him cooking scrambled eggs in my kitchen.

Not that Tyson "NdT" to his friends is doing all this media slogging just for giggles. He's the host of the new Fox iteration of the old show "Cosmos," and he's doing his rounds. By taking on "Cosmos" to explain, educate and entertain audiences with astrophysics, Tyson is making explicit what has been implicit for years: That he is the heir to the late Carl Sagan as America's most famous science "popularizer."

Yes, it's an odd term, awkward, a bit condescending. But it's an indication of how rarely scientists and mainstream audiences actually talk to each other that we haven't come up with a better term for what Tyson does.

So, why is Tyson reviving a documentary show from the 1980s? To me, that's not a very interesting question. The better question is: Why aren't there more like him?

We live in a culture that produces battalions of celebrities, platoons of movie stars, brigades of reality-TV narcissists, posturing hip-hoppers, barely dressed divas, snarky comics, political big-mouths and cable talking heads. That's what we do in America create and maintain fame.

Yet, when it comes to science the very stuff of human intellectual development and exploration Tyson stands pretty much alone on the mountain of celebrity.

How many famous scientists can you name other than Tyson and Sagan?

Google: No, no. You've got Glass all wrong

Posted: at 12:41 am

It's nothing really. Just a nice idea. Google/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET

Something I've learned over the last few years is that Google is always right.

It criticizes the NSA for snooping, when it quite happily crawls all over your e-mails. But it's right, because it's for your own good.

It pumps ads at you even when you're writing e-mails, but it's right to do so. Because these ads are far better than all the other ads you'll see on the Web.

And then there's Google Glass, which Google insists isn't a creepy, awkward intrusion into public and private life. So Google must be right.

Well, except that those who have so far resisted a Google chip being implanted into their brains still feel that Glass might be for the self-righteous, rather than the normal human being.

Of late, Google seems to have adopted a crouching posture, as the criticisms and humor have rained its way.

First, it issued a Do's and Don'ts post -- in which it asked its Glass Explorers not to behave like Glassholes. Yes, they needed to be told.

Now the company has published a lengthy post on Google+ titled "The Top 10 Google Glass Myths."

It's a riotous little read that comes across as a miffed and haughty self-justification, masked as mealy mouthed modesty.
