This last weekend we had an overnight visitor, an almost 3 year old grand daughter. Being adorable and precocious, she is 100% a child of this millennium.
We watched some “Wow wow wubsy” and “Dora the Explorer” and at one point she needed to do something (”Potty” I think) and she wanted to pause the show. […]

I’m told that an MEU is preparing to ship out from Camp Lejeune, but then I really didn’t need to ask. The evidence is pretty clear.

One of the first thing my favorite prof in college taught us in Statistics 101 was don’t take seriously a survey with a small sample size.
There is a poll of South Carolina ‘voters’ which on its face looks like 53% of Hispanics are in favor of Obama and 32% for Hillary.
Now most polls use a […]
