Still no baby, but we’re getting closer
Kate and I went to the hospital today for a routine ultrasound. I didn’t think we’d actually have to keep the appointment, because our due date was Sunday – and after I thoughtlessly tweeted about being at the hospital, I had to clarify that we hadn’t had the baby today. What we do have is […]

Conservatives and universities agree: conservatism and higher education don’t mix
Two articles on Disinformation recently caught my eye. The first was about a recent study that found a link between low intelligence and social conservative ideology, and the second was about a prominent social conservative who believes America would be a better place if fewer people got an education.
