If you’ve been a sports fan for any time at all, you know that nicknames are important. They help fans identify with players more closely, especially if the fans created the nickname and the player embraces it (Are you listening, Mike Knuble? “Obi-Wan” is yours, man. Just claim it!). The best nicknames, though, are the [...]
It’s been a while since I read anything from Daniel Drezner and, from the looks of this post, it may be a long while before I do so again. See, he has a problem he felt was worth sharing witht he rest us us. Drezner, as a resident of Massachusetts, has been exposed to the cruel barrage of [...]
There are no more terrorists in Afghanistan. They are all gone, disappeared, flown the coop, fled the environs, and on the lam. What’s Her Face Coakley said so and if you can’t trust the newest tuchas anointed by the Democratic Party to sit in the Holy Senate Seat of Kennedy, then who the heck can [...]
Okay, scientists, we get it. You’re incredibly smart and able to tinker with the DNA of even the smallest animals. And…well…it’s not that we don’t trust you, but whoa up a bit, okay?

Slowly, the cracks in Tehran’s tyrannical government widen. A veteran Iranian diplomat based in Norway has resigned his post, denounced his government and urged colleagues around the world to do the same after the regime’s brutal suppression of huge opposition demonstrations last month.
