I got a little sun yesterday at the game. I mean that in the same way that the Titanic “took on a little water”. It was worth it, though, to see Shula’s first game and an impressive second half at that. The first half was a bit scary, but we pulled through. Also nice was to [...]

The weekend has been good in the sense that not much has gone on, really. I went to Amanda’s on friday night for drinks and cards with some of the locals. Out twice in one week is a pretty good average I’d like to keep up. This week I hope to crosses fingers get the internet [...]

Michele of A Small Victory ran an email that she received (and her response to it) which refueled my interest in the topic, so now you have to listen to me gripe again. Ok, folks, say it with me: “It does not take a village to raise a child.” I don’t care what Hillary says. [...]

Auburn fans talk about class. They talk, laughingly enough, about tradition. Well, back in October of 2001 two Fraternities, Beta Theta Pi and Delta Sigma Phi, decided to have a classy, traditional little party… innocent enough, right? Right! Except they needed a theme. Instead of talking Strongbad’s advice, they chose one near and dear to [...]

It turns out that you do learn something new every day. This cartoon (and accompanying article) over at Cox & Forkum lays to rest a commonly held notion that the pesticide DDT is harmful to humans. They quote several articles, but this one point, made by Lisa Makson in a FrontPageMagazine.com article, was particularly enlightening: “The [...]
