Rule 5 Monday: St. Stephen’s Day Edition

— compiled by Wombat-socho For a minute I considered having Ingrid Pitt as an appetizer again, since St. Stephen is the patron of casketmakers and Ms. Pitt spent a lot of Hammer movies in caskets, but I thought it was a bit of a stretch…so you get Cikita Pechova, a Czech model I spotted on […]

Long Season for the ’Bama Boys

The NFL season is too long. The league’s decision to extend the season from 16 games to 17 was a mistake, as was the decision to expand the postseason playoffs from 12 teams (six in each conference) to 14 (seven in each conference). Under the previous playoff format, the two division champions in each conference […]

Have a Holly Jolly (Commie) Christmas

Perhaps some of you kids you don’t recognize this dangerous subversive, because Burl Ives died in 1995, and even if you’re old enough to remember him, the only time he crosses your mind is when you hear “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” playing in the background music at the shopping mall or wherever.

The Shame of Adam Kinzinger

Last week, Tucker Carlson bid a mocking farewell to Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger who, like Liz Cheney and many others, wrecked his career by succumbing to Trump Derangement Syndrome. As much as I enjoyed Carlson’s mockery — and as much as Kinzinger deserved to be mocked as a “male menopause” sufferer — it does not […]
