The election is over, if zombies ever die. Turns out, the atheists were right, though Darwin was mistaken. And the end may be nigh. But at least it will also be hilarious, as witnessed by these mock phone calls from the Donald to his new BFF, Barack. 1 On Presidential Medals Of Honor And …
I have been a police reporter for 15 years, and a film reporter for another decade. So I feel comfortable committing the following double heresy: All the President’s Men is a lousy movie. As a book, it’s poetry. As a story, it’s the gold standard for every aspiring reporter. But, strictly from an entertainment …
To miss a train or business deal, Because our clocks are without keel Can cause a nation loss of gold E’en worse than all the misers hold. — 1942 letter to Time magazine urging a national daylight savings time One of the few undeniable benefits of living in the digital era is not having to …
I’ve always been a sucker for gadgets, gizmos and whatzits. Perhaps it was the gimmicks in the cheap magic tricks I bought as a kid. At least that’s what I rationalize when I continue to feed my addiction to odd purchases. Like the spy pen camera I bought I last week. I had no …

Another Sunday Mass. This time, a gay Florida nightclub, where 50 people were shot to death and another 50 wounded (by conservative estimate) today. There’s no reason to expect this shooting to unfold any differently than, say, the Sunday Mass in Charleston. The sane will say this needs to stop. The confederacy of dunces …

Warning: Spoilers don’t about; they lurk) As the unofficial Assistant to the Manager of the Vince Gilligan Fan Club, I have been watching Better Call Saul religiously — and by extension, reruns of my two favorite shows, Breaking Bad and Mad Men.

Peyton Manning retired this week, bringing to a close a career that will include two dozen passing records, five league MVP trophies and two Super Bowl rings.
