E.J. Dionne Demands That I Fisk Him
I mean honestly, what am I to do with this? WASHINGTON — The nation’s Roman Catholic bishops will make an important decision this week: Do they want to defend the church’s legitimate interest in religious autonomy, or do they want to wage an election-year war against President Obama? Oh, the scare language! “wage an election-year… Read More E.J. Dionne Demands That I Fisk Him
Humanity is Good for Another 100,000 Years

The only planet-wide threats come from outer-space, and these are mostly rare. An asteroid big enough could do us in, but the more likely asteroid… Read More Humanity is Good for Another 100,000 Years
Why Names Matter: John Carter Tanks (Updated)

Lemme explain something to you, Bill: You are not Carlin’s successor. You are not fit to… Read More Did Bill Maher Actually Compare Himself to George Carlin?
If I Look Different, It’s Because the Black Keys Melted My Face
Went to see them at the Verizon Center in DC last night. The Arctic Monkeys opened, and they sounded good enough for me to want to check them out. The Black Keys, on the other hand, were off the chain.
