Pro-evolution thinkers are happy: scientists have confirmed that Aegisuchus witmeri, a fossilized creature, neatly fits into a parallel arrangement with Aegyptosuchus peyeri, a 95-million year old cousin of both crocodiles and alligators who all sprang off the Eusuchia line. No … Continue reading →
Secret Gormogon Operative ERC, who hasn’t written in for a while, sent the Czar a single letter: a lower-case b. This of course translates to: Your Czarness: I am well aware that the the vestigial legs of whales and other … Continue reading →

Ah, the end of summer: baseball is winding down, kids are going back to school, and the media starts to ridicule conservatives for things they say. We all know how the game works: when Democrats say stupid things, it’s because … Continue reading →
