THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”-George Orwell
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) wrapped up a three-day trade mission to London on Tuesday that was widely seen as an effort to build his stature as a national figure and potential 2016 presidential candidate. But the trip was marred by confused locals, canceled press availabilities, and bad headlines that left the governor's brand battered and bruised.
Business Insider was there to witness some of the journey that liberal operatives and journalists are mocking as a "full-on disaster" and a "trip from hell."
Christie began his visit Sunday by watching a game between the Premier League soccer teams Arsenal and Aston Villa. The New York Times noted many of the Londoners attending the game seemed to have no idea who the governor was.
On Monday, Christie visited the city of Cambridge, where he met with representatives of the life-sciences industry, visited a cemetery for American troops who died in World War II, and toured the laboratory at MedImmune, a company that makes vaccines. The lab visit led to the first major firestorm of Christie's trip...

On Super Bowl Sunday the Left Shark became an overnight sensation. In the midst of the highly-anticipated Katy Perry halftime extravaganza, performed in front of a record-breaking viewing audience, Left Shark dared to "dance like nobody is watching." Amazing! In fact, Left Shark is such an unstoppable force of goodness that the Internet needed to put him everywhere...

Pete Carroll's mind-numbing decision to throw a pass from the 1-yard line with 20 seconds remaining in the Super Bowl instead of handing off to the unstoppable Marshawn Lynch brings to mind some of the worst calls in the history of the NFL. Here are a few of those all-time sideline blunders:
Miracle at the Meadowlands: The year was 1978, and the Giants were 20 seconds away from defeating the Eagles. All they had to do was take a knee. But the Giants had other ideas, and quarterback Joe Pisarcik handed the ball off to fullback Larry Csonka, who fumbled. Cornerback Herman Edwards scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown.
Parcells calls for the option: Late in 1997, the Jets - who had gone 1-15 the season before - looked poised to make the playoffs, as they were about to tie a game against the Lions in Detroit. With the ball at the Lions' 9-yard line, Jets coach Bill Parcells called for a halfback pass with rookie Leon Johnson. In typical Jets fashion, the pass was intercepted, and the Jets missed the playoffs...
PJTV viewer Digging4Information asks Bill Whittle & Andrew Klavan about the relationship between science, faith and religion. Are science and religion at war with each other, or perfectly compatible? Klavan argues that faith has never been at war with religion, and that religious people like Isaac Newton were often great scientists. Hear more.
