Why the question mark? Well, either Wiley Brooks is one of the most astonishingly loony loons to ever have walked the face of the earth, or else he is a fraud. There is evidence of the latter.

Wiley Brooks is the founder of the Breatharian Institute of America. Breatharians claim, simply enough, that food and possibly water are not necessary, and

Several interesting dates in the history of medical regulation in the United States took place in October.  

Born October 18, 1844, chemist Harvey W. Wiley lived in a time when snake oil cures and unsafe manufactured food were common. He campaigned for the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906, which is the legal basis of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  When it passed he became that agency’s first commissioner.

Another public outcry for regulation erupted years later when Harry Thompson Brundige did an undercover investigation of medical diploma mills that was first published on October 15, 1923.  Many doctors and chiropractors nationwide were found to have false paperwork. Brundige was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and a scandal [...]

The amiable, lovable Wiley Drake is a Californian Southern Baptist minister and talk radio host, and a prominent member of the American Independent Party. In fact, he was their vice-presidential candidate in 2008 (with Alan Keyes - who will be covered later - rest assured, as the presidential candidate). He is most famous for calling for prayers for the deaths of those who disagree with him, including political [...]

Take note of Wiley Miller‘s comic strip Non Sequitur in your newspaper this weekend if it regularly appears there. Several newspapers are rejecting this Sunday’s strip in advance. What’s so offensive about it? [It] depicts a lazy, sunny park scene with the caption, “Picture book title voted least likely to ever find a publisher… ‘Where’s [...]

I don't know if I should thank Peter Lipson or condemn him.

What am I talking about? Yesterday, Peter sent me a brain-meltingly bad study in so-called "complementary and alternative medicine" that shows me just how bad a study can be and be accepted into what I used to consider a reasonably good journal. I say "used to consider," because the fact that this journal accepted a study this ludicrously bad indicates to me that peer review at the journal is so broken that I now wonder about what else I've read at that journal that I should now discount as being so unreliable as to be not worth taking seriously. Maybe everything. I don't know. What I [...]

Here’s Wiley Miller‘s “controversial” Non Sequitur comic strip which you may not be seeing in your local newspaper today. Harmless. Inoffensive. Not a big deal. Anyone who overreacts to this is crazy. No editor should be caving in and banning this strip out of fear of the lunatics.

via Friendly Atheist. New Cartoon from “Non Sequitur” Some newspapers have pulled the comic because it mentions Muhammad. The cartoon by Wiley Miller depicts a lazy, sunny park scene with the caption, “Picture book title voted least likely to ever find a publisher… ‘Where’s Muhammad?’” Characters in the park are buying ice cream, fishing, roller [...]

I can’t believe I had an all-comics Friday Link Roundup and forgot to include this one that’s been making the rounds through the atheist blogosphere. On Sunday, October 3, at least 14 and possibly “upwards of 20″ newspapers chose to run a substitute strip from Wiley Miller’s popular Non Sequitur comic rather than the current [...]
