This post from Krauze about the "Circus of the Spineless" shows the problem with peer review and intelligent design in a nutshell. Krauze sent in a fascinating science post about "The problem with model invertebrates," and the carnival host, Aydin Örstan, a biologist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pensylvania, rejected it out of hand, explaining:

My policy on this blog is not to have any links in any of my posts to any creationist (including “intelligent” design) sites. Hence I turned down a submission from one such site. I offer no apologies.

And yet the Eugenie Scotts of the science world would have us believe that the peer review process is blithelessly sinless, noble mandarins gathering around the table of knowledge to dispassionately assess the arguments laid out in the papers submitted to them.
