An Overdue Hockey Blog Post
I don’t write much about it here, but I’m a huge fan of the Washington Capitals and have been since even before the greatest goal in Capitals history. Ted Leonsis has done an excellent job building what I believe it one of the strongest franchises in the NHL. If you are even tangentially interested in [...]
About That Backside…
My friend Stacy McCain has laid on me the most scurrilous charge of “undermin[ing] journalistic standards” because my post on Meghan McCain was linked in this post Jenn Q Public behind the words “shapely behind”. His accusation is simply not true. I never said Meghan McCain’s behind was “shapely”. I did say she had a [...]
Hey, He Did Try to Destroy California, Which is Cool, Right?

I haven’t watched the show but I should because Christina Hendricks is in it (and invoking her name in a blog is [...]

At Least I Have Something to Ask Him Now…
Only Glenn Reynolds (who is somewhere at CPAC, though I’ve not seen him yet), can begin a blog post with the words “I’m a Moby Grape fan…” and not hemorrhage readers like the back seat passenger in a Quentin Tarantino movie. I now have a post tag category for Moby Grape now, in case you [...]
Hey! You Got Your Zombie In My Jane Austen!
Finally, an author has found a way to get me (and every other red-blooded male) to read Jane Austen! What’s the secret? Zombies. IT is a truth commercially acknowledged that Jane Austen’s high-spirited heroines can be recast as Hollywood brats or Bollywood sirens, wittily navigating the eternal perils of class, romance and unworthy men. Few [...]
