I'm planning to start a BadSums blog. This will highlight the use of maths + numeracy in the media, with focus upon things that are wrong/funny/interesting/important or otherwise notable. In some ways it will mimic Ben Goldacre's Bad science site - 'cos all good science involves maths anyway, so bad scienceprobably involves bad maths or bad sums.
Ben himself calls this “an uber-participatory quack-busting pseudoscience-fighting media-monitoring comedy community evil empire … (plus) good fun”, which I could not begin to argue with.
