The Saskatchewan Roughriders win the 95th Grey Cup! I believe my last post has been vindicated. Great game by both teams; they both deserved to be there tonight and they should both be proud of their accomplishments, including a certain young quarterback for Winnipeg!

Mark Shea describes the cool rationalism of one of our atheist friends, Matthew Parris, in refusing to accept the story of a nun who was cured of Parkinson’s:

Doesn’t that kind of remind you of the rocket club nerd reporting the faux rebellious goth smoker to the principal?
