Everyday evolution

I'm ready to move on to other matters, so I thought I'd close our evolution series with a few interesting artifacts of evolution that we experience everyday.

Chris Christie

When it comes to possible presidential candidates for 2016, nobody -- even Hillary Clinton -- seems to raise more emotion, both favorable and negative, than New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Supporters love his brash, take-no-prisoners demeanor, while detractors claim he's just a bag of hot air, a bully who stomps on every opponent in his path. Christie's path to the White House is much more difficult than it was a year ago because of the scandal in New Jersey in which some blame him for tying up traffic on a freeway in order to punish those who didn't agree ...
