The movie "2012" premieres in a couple of weeks, with a plot based on doomsday predictions and Mayan calendars, and special effects wizards once again destroying the White House and other iconic sites as everything crumbles around us (isn't it amazing how all those building were back up on their foundations just five years after the same director, Roland Emmerich, laid waste to them in "The Day After Tomorrow"?).Yesterday on KTRS/St. Louis, I talked with Ben Radford (editor of Skeptical...
