Stranger Fruit
thoughts on science, history, and teaching
Who am I?
John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Who's to say he's not a terrorist

Meet Kirstie Hartle, registered Democrat, Clinton supporter, and "a Republican all the way now": She said she doesn't like Obama's name and thinks he has a questionable background. She also said she thought Obama was deceitful when he broke from...

George Carlin, dead at 71

It is sad to note that George Carlin died Sunday at the age of 71. When he was funny, he was hilarious. His distillation of the Ten Commandments into two was a classic: Thou shalt always be honest and...

More on Timaeus

A few months ago, I quoted George Sarton's low opinion of Plato's Timaeus. Jonathan Barnes has reviewed David Sedley's Creationism and Its Critics in Antiquity and has this to say about Timaeus: Above all, Sedley lauds the Timaeus. It is...

Euro 2008

Just finished watching the Dutch implode and get beaten 3-1 by Russia, making them the third group winner to lose. I can now only hope that Spain beats the Italian Diving Squad tomorrow to avert any possibility of a Germany...

FISA Amendments Act
Category: Politics
I'm disappointed to note that both Harry Mitchell and Gabby Giffords joined the other 103 Democrats who voted for the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. (Ed Pastor and Raúl Grijalva voted against.) The 105 Dems have covered themselves in shame,...
