Funniest show on TV

Eliot to Orwell: More Cats!

T.S. Eliot once rejected Animal Farm for publication.

IT must rate as the literary snub of the 20th century. T S Eliot, one of Britain’s greatest poets, rejected George Orwell’s Animal Farm for publication on the grounds of its unconvincing Trotskyite politics.

Eliot, a former director of Faber and Faber, the publisher, wrote his rejection [...]

Obama Derangement Syndrome

David Horowitz is witnessing familiar, and recent, traits becoming common place in the American Right. And he isn’t too happy about it.

“Who are you callin’ ‘pops’?!?!”

Two of my favorite college coaches of all-time, another who’s not all bad since he wasn’t always at UNC and one more who I still haven’t fully forgiven for derailing the Celtics and driving Larry Legend out of town in the 90s …

50 States – Alaska

Ah, Alaska. The frozen wilderness, which is both frozen and wilderness. The majestic moutains. The magnificent glaciers.  The wonderous Northern Lights.
