‘Chiseling Sociopathic Whore’

The title phrase is Ace’s characterization of Lindsey Hill, so if she wants to sue somebody, I ain’t the defendant, but at least I spelled her name right. She reminds me of a Johnny Rivers lyric: Beware of pretty faces that you find. A pretty face can hide an evil mind. Unfortunately, guys are always […]

The Hottest Team in Baseball

The city of Baltimore has a lot to be ashamed of, including a failed school system, out-of-control crime and sending Rep. Kweisi Mfume to Congress. Despite its many woes, however, Baltimore has at least one source of municipal pride — the Orioles are the hottest team in baseball. As I told you last week, the […]

Orioles Face ‘Huge’ Series in Tampa

Last season, the Baltimore Orioles finished fourth in the American League’s East Division, and the year before that, they were fifth, losing 110 games. As of last night, however, the O’s were leading the AL East with a 58-37 record (.611), just fractionally ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays (60-39, .606). As recently as July […]

Congratulations, Massachusetts Liberals: Your ‘Millionaire Tax’ Just Cost the Patriots an All-Pro Wide Receiver

Here’s a fact: Tennessee has zero state income tax. Here’s another fact: Last year, Massachusetts voters passed a referendum approving a 4% “millionaire tax” in addition to the state’s existing 5% income tax, so that all income over $1 million a year earned by Massachusetts residents is now taxed at 9%. So in order for […]

‘Limited Scientific Evidence’

Are you kidding me with this? What kind of “journalism” is being practiced at NPR? Perhaps the kind in which ordinary common sense is prohibited. You don’t need an advanced degree in biology to know that the average man is 5-foot-10 and the average woman is 5-foot-5. And these average differences have a profound effect […]

Red Sox Win in 10

The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees in just about the most exciting way possible Saturday night, coming from behind with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning at Fenway Park on a right-field single by Alex Verdugo that drove in Rob Refsnyder and a rookie named Jeter Downs. To understand […]

Why Don’t We Trust the ‘Experts’?

One of the great fools of our age, Tom Nichols, published a book a few years ago with the title, The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters, about which I’ll quote Wikipedia: Publishers Weekly said that “The crux of the book’s argument is that… the American public have grown […]

Fools and Their Money

DeKaylin Zecharius “DK” Metcalf is a 23-year-old wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, drafted in the second round out of Ole Miss in 2019, and the son of former Chicago Bears lineman Terry Metcalf. The younger Metcalf is also a fool, who seems to believe he can run around with trashy women without consequences, which […]
