My favorite analysis of the British vote to leave the European Union last week is that the “Oldsters are ‘screwing’ the Youngsters”. It is the opinion of those on the Left that everyone who voted for the Brexit was a “fascist, racist old coot who is seeking to put up walls around the country”. Beyond employing…… READ MORE

The Games People Won’t Play
What if you held an Olympics and nobody came to play? The roster of top-notch athletes who are choosing NOT to compete at Rio, Brazil this summer is growing. Golfers Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen have all made very public announcements that they will not take part in the return of…… READ MORE
Brexit Strategy
Britons head to the polls today to decide if they want to remain a part of the floundering European Union. Polls have shown the “remain” and “leave” camps running neck and neck for the past few weeks and both sides have taken to scare tactics to try and drive their support. Those on the…… READ MORE
The Tail Wagging the Dog
If you started the university and college system that we have in America today, would you include a department that brings with it high-profile arrests for violent crimes? Would you want a department that fosters binge drinking among the student population? Would you start a department where those participating would be encouraged to take part…… READ MORE
[Redacted] is Just [Redacted] With Us
There are times that I swear the main goal of President Obama’s second term is to goad and aggravate Conservatives and the Republican Party. I’m feeling that way again after the Department of Justice released the transcripts of the 911 calls placed by the Orlando nightclub shooter and redacted all references to Islam, ISIS, Allah…… READ MORE
A Fight Worth Watching
Sometimes there are policies or laws that need to go into effect if for no other reason than to create the most bizarre legal and political battles imaginable. One of those laws would be to ban those on the FBI’s terror watch list from purchasing handguns. The belief is that having such a law would have…… READ MORE
The Golfing Sadists
The US Open gets underway today at the ultimate venue for what is generally considered the “toughest test in golf”: Oakmont Country Club just outside of Pittsburgh. Oakmont is regarded as the most difficult golf course in the United States–and when the wind isn’t blowing at Carnoustie in Scotland–it’s probably the most difficult golf course in…… READ MORE
When a Record is not a Record
It’s not often that I agree with Pete Rose on anything, but I do have to back him in a debate over his status as baseball’s “All Time Hit King”. Some are taking Major League Baseball to task for not promoting the fact that Ichiro Suzuki of the Florida Marlins is just one base hit…… READ MORE
Must See TV
If you missed the first installment of the ESPN Films documentary OJ: Made in America on Saturday night, you are in luck–the network is replaying it at 6:00 tonight. That will be followed by the second installment of the five-part series at 8:00. I would consider both of those shows to be must-watch television. The…… READ MORE
One Step Closer to Less Freedom
Someday several decades–maybe even a couple of centuries–after all of us are dead and gone historians will look back at the United States and marvel at the personal freedoms and individual rights that it once granted to its citizens. And then they will look at how those rights and freedoms were whittled away over time.…… READ MORE
