Peter King, being snide: There are many reasons why I like the Patriots, but the biggest is that all the statisticians of the world got together the other day and ran all the Pats/Jets...
For Deadheads, at least: The University Library of the University of California, Santa Cruz, seeks an enterprising, creative, and service-oriented archivist to join the staff of Special Collections & Archives (SC&A) as Archivist for...
Matt Yglesias says: What’s really depressing to me about the current TV landscape isn’t so much that we haven’t seen another Wire-quality show as it is that we haven’t even seen a serious effort...
An interesting counterpoint to the David Ramsey “no credit” creed I linked to below:
I was lucky enough to visit Mount Athos when my parents lived in Thessaloniki, and the trip has stayed with me for a long time. National Geographic has an article on the monasteries and...

I mean, really, what else explains this latest column? For all his faults, I had at least taken Buchanan as a principled opponent of unnecessary foreign wars. Now he goes off and writes one...
