Missing North Carolina
Of all the things I love about North Carolina, there’s nothing I’ll miss more than the annual Bubbalympics at Wet ‘n’ Wild. Mind you, I’ve never actually paid money to see fat rednecks — called Bubbas and Bubbettes — belly flop into the water, but I’ve seen plenty. And there’s plenty to see.
My station seems to cover the Bubbalympics every...

Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins, a pro-choice woman, cuts to the heart of the hypocrisy of many pro-choice organizations:
Tebow’s 30-second ad hasn’t even run yet, but it already has provoked “The National Organization for Women Who Only Think Like Us” to reveal something important about themselves: They aren’t actually “pro-choice” so much...

I arrived at work this morning to a pile of e-mail that included this little gem:
Dear Mr. Clarke,
I have a little Russian dwarf hamster that I put on your pet of the week (we let viewers upload photos of their pets) several weeks ago. Unfortunately whomever is responsible for putting pets on TV did not deem him cute enough. He watches Fox 8 News only. He watches Van (Denton, our chief...

Your baby is smarter than you think
Traditional thinking that babies are irrational and have essentially blank minds is being challenged by several recent studies that show they can make choices based on probabilities.
Last year, Fei Xu and Vashti Garcia at the University of British Columbia proved that babies could understand probabilities. Eight-month-old babies were shown a box full of mixed-up Ping-Pong balls: mostly white but...
