#1 A classic example of a once-respected institution which has succumbed to leftist/idiotarian rot.

#2 I used to subscribe to Lancet the same as I do the New England Journal of Medicine. I gave up the former precisely because of the editorial drift -- they couldn't decide if they were going to be a serious medical journal or the medical World Weekly News. They still have some useful information, and I check up on them on the net occasionally to see if I've missed anything, but ordinarily I don't bother with them anymore. Ditto with JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) -- I gave them up for the same reason. If I want political news, I come to the web, not to JAMA.

That's what happens when you squander a reputation.

#3 Don't forget the Lancet is also the Home of the 100,000 Iraqi Dead^TM.
