And the Oscar Goes to…Who Cares?.
Is it me or have the Academy Awards completely lost their relevancy? I fully admit it might be me. It’s 9:00 am the day after the Oscars and I still don’t know — or care — who won what. I don’t even know who or what was nominated. For real. Not a clue. And I […]

My five-year-old daughter is half Irish, so, naturally, she is semi-obsessed with the concept of death. Earlier today she asked me how you know when you’re going to die. “When God decides,” I answered. “And there’s no way for us to know when that will be — but it should be a very long time from now,” […]

I don’t mean to be crass, but when aren’t these guys jumping up and down and stomping on torn American flags?

Anyone who has ever read this blog knows that I’m not a big fan of new laws. But there ought to be a law against releasing 911 emergency call transcripts and recordings.

For all its struggles to break through into open field, the Romney campaign has made few mistakes. It has been methodical, disciplined, and on-message. So it’s surprising to read this morning that the campaign made a freshman error in redacting portions of a Detroit News editorial endorsement of Mr. Romney this week. The Detroit News is […]

[Rick Santorum] is an engagingly happy warrior, except when he is not. Then he is an angry prophet of a dystopian future in which, he has warned, people will be ‘holed up in their homes afraid to go outside at night.’ He has the right forebodings but might have the wrong profession.
