"Words had to change their ordinary meanings and to take those which were now given to them… Moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness… Society became divided into camps in which no man trusted his fellow." --Thucydides, "The Peloponenesian War". 431-404 B.C.E.

This is coming from a place of love and support, but… It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’ It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’ It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports


First, either PEDs are a no-go or they aren’t. Second, it’s one thing to use it as a tiebreaker in really close calls, but using post-season performance as criteria is sketchy, at best. Third, Browne may have problems getting into Vatican City after excluding @MarkBuehrle1.

Today was an exciting day. I mailed my Hall of Fame vote to Cooperstown. I'm a first time voter but a long time (24 years) beat writer. This is an honor.

“Research Like A Champion Today” The *Other* Golden Domers are really showing those fellas in Indiana what sportsmanship, academic rigor, and humor look like when all mixed in the same hornet’s neat. #RamblingWreck @GeorgiaTech @PopTartsBowl

Our appetite for top notch research is insatiable. The minute that @georgiatechfb accepted an invitation to the @PopTartsBowl , our best engineers, roboticists, and scientists set out to answer the ultimate research question — which @PopTartsUS flavor is, empirically, the best?…

Today we will dedicate our account to Greg Maddux. Enjoy During a blowout game, Greg Maddux decided to throw a meatball to Jeff Bagwell for a homer. Why? To set him up for a strikeout when they met again in the playoffs. Absolute genius he was. The Professor.


We serve by doing. In that service, we love. All else becomes commentary.

The poorest are not only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of “bringing” God to them, but of encountering Him among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to be made “from above,” but an encounter between equals, where Christ is revealed…



I wish his @whitesox hit it out of the park every time like #DaPope does with his tweets.

Holiness must blossom precisely where decisions are made that affect the lives of thousands of families. The world needs entrepreneurs and leaders who, out of love for God and neighbor, work for an economy that serves the common good. It is possible to be both an entrepreneur and…

Rep Neguse talking to the press the way Democrats should talk to the feckless media. He handled that question spectacularly.


Almost that time of year… gotta prepare.. #BlackThanksgiving

My aunties arguing after somebody reneged in Spades



As a @Cubs fan, it’s not enough to extend love and favor to the @whitesox when they won the #WorldSeries in 2005–we must extend love to them when they can only scratch out 40 wins for the season. #PopeBob is saying the same thing.

One cannot love God without extending one’s love to the poor. Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God. The Lord himself teaches us: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt…

God shows a preference for the poor: the Lord’s words of hope and liberation are addressed first of all to them. Therefore, even in their poverty or weakness, no one should feel abandoned. And if the Church wants to be Christ's Church, it must be a Church in which the poor have a…
