The Duke and Duchess of Trash

Sometimes the algorithm turns up a headline that, while utterly silly, nevertheless gets your mind completely off-track: One of Meghan Markle’s most iconic looks will be displayed in a British fashion museum. The Fashion Museum announced Tuesday that the black silk Giorgio Armani dress that the Duchess of Sussex wore for her bombshell interview with […]

Ukraine as 21st-Century Sudetenland

Excuse me if the headline is a bit too Godwin’s Law, but the analogy — an invasion launched on the pretext of supporting regional separatists — seems justified, and I don’t mean to do a cheap “Putin is the New Hitler” thing, because obviously the “New Hitler” will be whoever Republicans nominate for president in […]

His chief foreign-policy accomplishment is surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban, and he’s less popular than Jimmy Carter. So, yeah, I’m sure Vladmir Putin is just scared to death: President […]

Ukraine Freakout: Is This for Real?

While on the one hand, I’m not a paranoid conspiracy theorist, on the other hand I am very cynical about politics, which is why I am somewhat hesitant to accept that all this media noise about Ukraine is legit: President Joe Biden plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, a person familiar […]

Who Killed Sir David, and Why? UPDATE: ‘Somali Heritage,’ Motive Unknown

They recovered a […]
