Now that Biggio has reached 3000 hits, please take note of this, those who doubt he deserves first ballot HOF: Hits : 3000 Doubles: 658 HR:...
I assume this is about the 1918 Influenza pandemic. Sounds interesting, are you enjoying it?
Yes and no. I found it a good view of life below the poverty line in the early 1900s, but a bit melodramatic and preachy towards the end (don't...
Just finished Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. I happened to see it on the shelf at the library, and after learning about the "Muckrakers" in high...
This is really quite a diverse group here. I'm a little surprised, but that's why I thought this thread would be interesting.:)
I've thought for a while it might be cool to find out where everyone is from originally. Obviously most here are Louisiana natives, so I've been...
Here's the numbers, by the way: Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941: 2403 dead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor New York,...

You know, I'm all for people voicing their opinions and believing strongly in causes (that's what this country's all about), but I don't see how...
She's picking up her ball and going home: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/28/sheehan/index.html Cindy Sheehan, the California mother who...

I remember when he was drafted. Good things were expected and he certainly didn't disappoint. He's probably the first HOF caliber player that I...
On that note, "Game of Shadows" is my current-when traveling on a plane-book.
