Adaptations (aka: Happy Birthday, Evolution!)
Today is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection”, and I for one am feeling a little celebratory. The importance of Darwin’s work cannot be understated. Last year, I took a couple of semesters worth of biology classes, and natural selection could be seen at work throughout those two very entertaining semesters, chapter after chapter, after chapter. Evolution’s important shit, man! That Darwin concluded what he did before modern genetics science existed, is a testament to his genius. That evolution c

Jeff Bosie – Photographer

The saying used to be, whatever happens, the lawyers win. Now, it’s whatever happens, the bankers win. This kind of stuff just pisses me off, and it’s the kind of stuff that needs to be constantly brought to the surface because, we

More on the Yankees
So, my last post was a little congratulatory quip to the New York Yankees, for winning their 27th World Series Championship. (Their 27th; I know, it’s a lot!) In the title of that post, I accidentally juxtaposed two characters in my haste to get the thing online, and I was quickly corrected by Yankee haters who likely enjoyed correcting me in the worldwide forum that is the Intertubes. Meow. That same evening — you know, the one where the Yankees WON THE WORLD SERIES — I guess I also posted a little congratulatory quip on my Facebook status, which became a lightning rod for a

The title says it all. Congratulations to the New York Yankees!
