Seriously, American Pharoah won the Belmont today, making him the first triple crown winner in nearly 4 decades. I never thought I'd see another winner in my lifetime. And he won by a huge lead as well. AND the rider is the oldest Jockey ever to win the triple crown! It was an exciting race, for those into that kind of thing.

He was 2 one-hundreths of a second off of Secretariat's record, and did it on a wet track. That ain't shabby.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
