On The Curse of The Bambino
Back in July 1978, the Boston Red Sox had a 14-game lead on their hated rivals, the New York Yankees. In what had to be one of the greatest collapses in baseball history, the Red Sox had to play the Yankees in a one-game playoff in Fenway Park. Down 2-0 in the top of the […]
On ‘On The Origin of Species’
Richard Dawkins said that Charles Darwin had a big idea, Stephen Jay Gould wondered why Darwin was so hard to grasp, and Jerry Falwell said that evolutionary teachings have turned countless minds against the Gospel and the authority of the Scripture.

Delawarean Named to Obama Administration
Wilmington’s Dan Pfeiffer has been named to Deputy Communications Director for the Obama Administration. Congratulations Dan! But what will get the Socially Bigotted bloggers upset is that Ellen Moran, executive director of Emily’s List, has been named Communications Director. Emily’s List is “dedicated to building a progressive America by electing pro-choice Democratic women to office.” […]
Remembering JFK
It took I Eat Gravel’s post to remind me about today’s sad anniversary, the 45th remembrance of Kennedy’s assassination. Though I was born during President Kennedy’s administration, I have no memories of him.
