Thanks to reader and frequent photographer Lenny who writes: A van in a south St. Louis, Mo. grocery store parking lot. I cropped out the fun-house mirror effect. :-) ...
Here was my assessment: End Game – no clear winner. Cain exceeded expectations but only because expectations were low. Perry redeemed himself but I doubt it will change perceptions. Newt and Romney were both good, Newt scored his usual slap at the moderator and it...
End Game - no clear winner. Cain exceeded expectations but only because expectations were low. Perry redeemed himself but I doubt it will change perceptions. Newt and Romney were both good, Newt scored his usual slap at the moderator and it worked wonderfully. Scott Pelley...

You remember the fiancé of Sharon Bialek, the one who lent credibility to her story because, although he was not involved with her 15 years ago, he was the proof the mainstream media used to prove that Bialek was financially stable and not looking for...
The Penn State football scandal is the Kitty Genovese scandal of our time. Of all the unimaginable things, can you imagine a 28 year old walking in on a child rape in progress and doing nothing to stop it? I don't mean to turn this into Phil Ochs...

Had to do it. Not as good as 12:34 on 5/6/78, but I wasn't blogging at 12:34 p.m. on May 6, 1978. And since this post is prescheduled because I'll be in class, let this be my "love you, honey, it's so special that we could share this...
Story in NY Magazine about a longevity study of Askenazi Jews (h/t DINORightMarie at the Tip Line): An Einstein study published in August asked whether the SuperAgers, over the course of their lives, had better health habits than the general population. The answer was no; their habits were, if...
