They've all validated what we all knew, but wanted to believe -- the farce about this war on terror.

Don't go mum on us, Barack
I was at a playground with my daughter the other day, reading "The Two Kinds of Decay" by Sarah Manguso (good book) and watching my girl as she stood at the perimeter of children playing and studied them, exactly as I did when I was a kid, working up the nerve to plunge into the fray. She is braver than I -- she plunges. I tended to retreat and have been backpedaling ever since.

Mendel called the model for science, religion debate

Cult to get mom's money
Q: My sister is a very zealous member of a religious cult, and recently she got my mother (who's in the early stages of Alzheimer's) to change her will and sign all her property over to her, and says it'll all go to her cult. Is there any way to get this reversed? Mother would be horrified, because she has always been a devout Christian. -- Mrs. A.S.
