There’s a long and honorable legacy in the Jewish tradition of universalism, humanity, pacifism, and a generally forward-thinking, enlightened worldview. Of this legacy, Philip Klein of The Washington Examiner is not an heir; and...
So I have a post up at Forbes on the bizarre reaction to BioWare’s latest game, Mass Effect 3, on Metacritic. Despite glowing reviews, the user score has been hovering around 2.5. At first...
Here’s a thought I’m having: who wants to do a League NCAA March Madness pool? Obviously we can’t gamble, but I’d be willing to talk about prizes we can give you. I was thinking something...
Chief among the reasons we selected James Wharram’s Tiki 38 as the design to expand our Montauk charter sailing business were these three: 1) We felt the Polynesian-inspired design was a good fit for...

It looks like Dennis Kucinich has lost his Congressional Seat in Ohio. As it turns out, it’s due to a redistricting and Republicans merged his seat with Marcy Kaptur’s and she won the primary…...
The week’s “Almost All-Rush-Limbaugh” posts got me to thinking about language and the use thereof, and this of course always makes me think of Mr. Carlin (requiescat in pace). Needless to say, this post...
Below are some instructions for bloggers at this site on how to add images to posts to make them work properly as thumbnails and in the new frontpage design. It’s pretty easy. It’s also...
