The Dispatch agrees: “Technically (although […]

…and to think I figured I’d have to wait until tomorrow for this.
Jeff has a new post up about new PeeDee Editor Susan Goldberg’s attempt to ’splain it all away. There is so much goodness in here it is truly hard to believe. I just want to point you to […]

American prominence on the world stage has not been due to some issue of “national character”; our people are not inherently different than people anywhere else in the world. But we have, in the past, had better educational resources, and a greater emphasis on science and engineering. But no longer.

I’ll admit that I am biased. I like to play poker and it’s a long drive to the closest casinos in Indiana.

On 10/25/07 the Governor announced that “as many as 788,000 homeowners stand to receive hundreds of dollars worth […]

Some created a clever little simulation of how a smashed watch could evolve into complicated clocks without a “designer” - if clocks could breed and mutate the same as living organisms.

It’s actually quite clever, and shows why “transitional organisms” wouldn’t necessarily show up in a fossil record. Hat tip to Pharyngula, who points out […]

An AP poll release this morning finds Hillary Rodham Clinton “the top choice when people are asked which major 2008 presidential candidate would make the scariest Halloween costume.”

Everyone seems to have a different explanation- from drowning by fishing nets to oil spills to poisoning by polluted fish.
I have another theory that may sound somewhat conspiratorial- but just as believable: the dolphins […]
