Not Since ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ Has Anyone Made a Worse Trade Than This

A textbook example of what bargaining from a position of weakness looks like: The U.S. released an infamous terrorist arms dealer known as “The Merchant of Death” for a lesbian dopehead basketball player. One need not be biased against lesbians or marijuana users — “Why, some of my best friends . . .” — to […]

Headless Woman in Hopeless City

How many murders involving decapitation happen in an average year in the United States? Pretty sure the number is small, but when your city is on pace for more than 500 murders a year — as is the case in “Killadelphia” — a certain number of statistical outliers can be expected: Since the beginning of […]

Football: Learn the Rules!

Blocked field goals are a rare enough occurrence in college football that fans can be forgiven for not knowing that, after a kick is blocked, it’s still a live ball.

Less than two weeks ago, after New England beat the New York Jets 10-3 on a last-second punt return by […]
