...were able to keep them in their zone and make them play under pressure, and allow our forwards to get buzzing and use our speed,” Donato said. “Unfortunately, it was too little, too late, but as a coach, I’m proud of the way they responded to adversity.”Harvard will hope to avoid extending its losing streak tomorrow with a 7 p.m. home game against No. 3 Boston College...
...congressional sessions, when Republicans have had control of the House, Senate and the presidency, eclipsed the first two Bush years in terms of major legislation. In fact, perhaps the most important domestic policy achievement of the last decade - and one both Democrats and Republicans remain proud of - was that 1996 welfare bill that has helped spur dramatic decreases in the welfare rolls and the number of children living in poverty...
...proud of my reason for wanting to slap Kim Jong Il. Shouldn't we be beyond just not liking someone's face? I always thought so, but recently the folks at Princeton University reassured me that, nope, it's perfectly fine and in fact entirely human.

As a loud and proud atheist (I came out to my friends in preschool by proclaiming the non-existence of God), I find this to be very sad and demoralizing. Are we really worse than the homosexuals? I suppose the average God-fearing American reasons that at least gay people have souls, whereas atheists are actually possessed by the Devil...
