As my regular gentle readers know, my father is Hubert P. Yockey, the nuclear physicist whose scientific papers and books have been seminal in the field of applying information theory and coding theory to molecular biology, the origin of life and evolution.

Why I think the approval of gay marriage in Washington, D.C., will stick

Allahpundit over at Hot Air is pondering why the vote to approve gay marriage by the City Council in Washington, D.C., today was so lop-sided in favor, 11-2, with ex-crackhead-and-adulterer Marion Barry casting one of the opposing votes, when D.C. is a majority black city and blacks have reneged on their support for equality for …

Happy birthday, George Eliot

Gay Patriot West, Daniel Blatt, and I share a love for the English novelist, Mary Anne Evans Cross, who wrote under the nom de plume, George Eliot.

My father is in pain and that's what I care about today

Dad is taking a nap but in a few minutes I will wake him up and take him to the rheumatologist, Dr. A (not his real initial).

Obama's tedious Ted Kennedy eulogy compared to the real eloquence that preceded him

If Obama has any sense at all, for the rest of his life he will resent the humiliation of having followed genuinely eloquent and inspiring men as the final eulogist at Sen. Ted Kennedy’s funeral service on Saturday, August 29, in Boston at The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. If his handlers have …

Krauthammer clueless on the purpose of Obamacare

Charles Krauthammer’s Aug. 28 column declares Obamacare 1.0 (its current form) dead and makes sensible proposals for a universal healthcare bill he dubs Obamacare 2.0 that he believes could get passed. Why, it even leaves out tort reform. However, the column takes a mordant turn at the end when Dr. Krauthammer notes that such a …
