10 year old Mariachi singer Sebastion de la Cruz was thrust into the national spotlight last year on America’s Got Talent. Tonight, he was once again seen by the nation as he sang the national anthem at Game 3 of the NBA finals in San Antonio where the Spurs took on the Miami Heat.

As you…

In the aftermath of any tragedy — whether man-made or natural — it’s not hard to find the finalists for the “Most Reprehensible Reaction” award.

When something unspeakably awful happens, as it did not long ago, apparently the new normal is for people to launch into their preferred wingnut conspiracy theory on Twitter. Rather than engage with any of that ghastly nonsense or wait for more horrific pictures to come in from Boston, I’m going to pick up my kids and hug them for an extra hour.

My thoughts are with everyone living in or visiting Boston, as well as those who have family and friends in Boston. I’m done for today.

Three bottle’s of 19th Century scotch have been returned to Shackleton’s Antarctic hut. Discovered underneath the floorboards of the hut in 2010, the scotch was bottled in 1898 (aged 15 years) and was buried during Shackleton’s 1907 expedition. The -22 degrees Fahrenheit were not enough to freeze the scotch (that’s pretty cool). The scotch was produced by the Mackinlay’s distillery, and the recipe had been lost. After the bottles were discovered, they were flown to Scotland, where the Whyte & Mackay distillery was able to recreate it.
