Chatterton: Jim Cameron's movie was a great movie and sometimes people have trouble differentiating fact from fiction and think Jack was really on the Titanic. But before that movie there was A Night to Remember. The Unsinkable Molly Brown was a Broadway play. The Titanic has woven itself into modern culture. When Bob Ballard found it 20 years ago, it was front page news. When we left the dock, we believed mostly what we saw in the film because it was the conventional wisdom of the day.

By extension, Brown smells like bear poop. Brown stinks. Logic v. Brown: logic always wins!!!!Let’s start with the worst: Harvard’s ugly 24-22 loss against the aforementioned stinky-dinkies from Providence.Three fumbles...
...guys get tips from the campaigns? Sometimes. We encourage it. We actually had the opposition research folks from both major political parties in here for brown-bag lunches. It's been a standard offer of mine, ever since we started, to any candidate or party - if you see something on the other side that you can prove is wrong, please let us know. We're going to check it out. We're not taking your word...
