His nickname served Gary Carter well right up to his final days. The Kid. Once and always, The Kid. As his long-time friend Dave Van Horne says, even when it became clear that Mr. Carters battle with a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer was being lost, if a baseball person ran into him, it was the same. It was always, Hey, how ya doing, Kid?

This great white circled our 21ft boat for 20 minutes and made contact with the boat (slapped its tail on the boat). We were about 25 miles southeast of Wrightsville Beach.

Zanesville, Ohio, sheriff's deputies armed with assault rifles opened fire on dozens of "mature, very big, aggressive" lions, tigers, cheetahs, wolves, and bears who had escaped from a private menagerie in Ohio after the farm's owner, Terry Thompson, was found dead and the animals' cage doors were left open and fences unsecured. Chimpanzees and orangutans were found locked in cages inside the house. At least 30 animals have been killed, and several more remain at large.Thompson had a long history of brushes with the law and had just completed a one-year sentence on two federal counts of possessing illegal firearms....

Ive been warning of this for well over two years. My primary warnings were: 1) That 2008 was just a warm-up 2) That the REAL Crisis had yet to unfold 3) That the REAL Crisis would make 2008 look like a picnic Well, the period Ive been warning of is now here. Whats happening right now is not just a market crash, bear market, deflation, or any other item related to just one asset class. Instead, this is a collapse of the entire US monetary and political system and the mentality of spending ones way to wealth. For 80+ years,...

My countdown continues. Some people just love one-sided stories. Unfortunately, for the chattering classes, Im not one of them. From the Australian Broadcasting Corporations 7:3o report (6/7/1999): Global warming will destroy Great Barrier Reef: report MAXINE McKEW: Well, its said that coral reefs are like the canary in the coalmine, warning of impending doom and dying in the process. So when the worlds reefs last year suffered severe coral bleaching on an unprecedented scale, scientists and environmentalists were alarmed. As a result, Greenpeace commissioned one of the world's leading reef biologists to find out what caused the dramatic coral decay....

Chris Matthews' infatuation with John McCain has returned. The day after the Republican senator bashed his own party, knocking "Hobbit" Tea Partiers, the Hardball anchor on Thursday lauded him as "great" and even suggested McCain as a MSNBC guest host: "...He can substitute for me some night with that kind of talk!" The former GOP presidential nominee criticized 2010 Senate candidates Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle. Quoting from a Wall Street Journal editorial, McCain recited possible debt ceiling scenarios: "Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform

July 20 is the 30th anniversary of a great moment in American and world history when a human climbed gingerly down an aluminum ladder attached to a spindly, fragile spacecraft and, for the first time, set foot on a chunk of the solar system not of this world. Neil Armstrong accomplished with one step President John F. Kennedy's call to greatness in a 1962 speech at Rice University to "go to the moon and do the other things," that would demonstrate American spirit and resolve. Armstrong's boot print in the dust also fulfilled countless speculations over centuries on how the...

An ironic bookend to that Richard Cohen column I linked earlier accusing the GOP of being a cult that cant face unpleasant realities. Look out here for actual chanting about how allegedly un-broke we are. (Even The One is more reality-based than that.) Youve seen this schtick before remember Michael Moores disgusting speech in Wisconsin about the 400 little Mubaraks who have stolen our money? but watch it anyway to see how slippery Jones is with the actual numbers. Turns out theres a lot of wealth out there that could be used to reduce the deficit; not enough...
