Willingham Out at ND
21-15 in three seasons
Heck, I have a newborn daughter in the hospital right now. What could be important enough to draw my attention?
The University of Notre Dame announced today that Tyrone Willingham will not be retained as its head football coach.

Caroline Elizabeth Kenney
Caroline was born last night at 10:00pm, weighed 5lbs. 9oz., and is 19 inches long!
And cute too!
Early labor. . . then back again!
So we went to the hospital late last night. Missy’s contractions were 5-6 minutes apart and 4cm dialated. The first nurse said stick around and walk, the second nurse said go back home, rest, and come back in the morning.
We call the doctor this morning, and the [...]
Paralyzed woman walks again after stem cell therapy

But an anonymous American researcher was credited [...]
Words from Washington: Declaration from 1789
Could we possibly see a modern US president issuing a similar statement today without being blasted as a relgious nutjob? How far have we come and to what end?

Turn Your Back on Bush
“We don’t need puppets, we just need people”
I remember back in 1998 when folks in the Virginia General Assembly turned their backs when Speaker Moss was pushed through. Democrats howled then, so I wonder which set of sensibilities changed?
On January 20th, 2005, we’re calling for a new kind of action. [...]
Security services foil 9/11 attack in UK
al-Qaeda suspected; information revealed before UK Parliament vote
Hurrah for the security forces of the UK. But I wonder about the timing of revealing such information before a vote that will inevitably impune upon the civil rights of British citizens:
The plot is said to have involved pilots being trained [...]
