Remember in second grade when we were all taught that Christopher Columbus was a national hero who discovered America? He was a genius because he knew the world was round and everyone else thought it was flat. In fact, I remember learning he couldn’t even find anyone to give him money for his ambitious sail-around-the-world [...]

Sarah Palin dropped the opening puck at last night’s Flyers game in Philadelphia:
