Separated at birth
They didn’t look the least bit alike when they were young. But in their declining/mature/twilight/golden years, they rather do (except for the ‘stache and some extra eyebrow bushiness):

Maybe it’s time…
…to just dispense with clothing and call it a day:
Continue reading →Why did the MSNBC panel feel free…
…to mock the Romneys for having a black grandchild? The main reason: their audience is so tiny and leftophile that the panel members forgot they were on TV and thought they were talking amongst themselves. Although they’ve now issued apologies … Continue reading →
Hello again!
The blog’s host was down for about two hours; it’s so frustrating when that happens. But we’re back (for now; I’d better type quickly and post this before it disappears again). I’ll be putting up some posts a little later … Continue reading →
Literary leftists: Clarence Darrow, free will, and poetry
When I was young I came across this book of courtroom speeches by Clarence Darrow. Although I was only about eleven years old it enthralled me, and I think it was one of the reasons I ended up going to … Continue reading →

The [fill in the blank] of the long-distance runner
How would you fill in the blank for this ultra-marathoner who ran 311 miles in 86 hours without sleeping? I’d start with “OCD” (obsessive-compulsive disorder). It seems nearly insane to me to do this sort of thing. But then again, … Continue reading →
And speaking of Camille Paglia…
…which we were doing yesterday—there’s an article about her in yesterday’s WSJ. Paglia is a curious amalgam. She prides herself on being unique and iconoclastic, and she certainly defies categorization. She seems to ally with the right on Obamacare, global … Continue reading →
What’s the best response to marauding flash mobs?
My answer: I’m not at all sure. But I was brainstorming the question after reading about the most recent incident of flash mob violence, which occurred in a Brooklyn mall: A wild flash mob stormed and trashed a Brooklyn mall, … Continue reading →
The art of age
Leonard Cohen is a songwriter, and a very successful one at that. But he was a poet first. He’s old, too—if 79 can be called “old” these days. Accordingly, the style and content of his songs have changed over the … Continue reading →
