When I was in the Arabian Sea in 2002, enforcing the UN Blockade on Iraq, I had an incident one night where a dhow (small fishing boat) drifted too close to my warship. It was lighted but apparently unmanned from what we could tell, and was dead in the water and adrift.

There’s a story from the 80's that Bob Horner (a gifted Braves power hitter who later broke a wrist and was never the same after, and who was, uh, built like the classic power hitter), who barely saw the minors and immediately hit in the majors, was bragging to his teammates about that time in college he played in a…

I grew up in Vancouver and one of my close, lifelong friends is of Punjabi descent.

It has been a white sport because traditionally, it’s been played by Nordic countries (Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, etc) which are predominately white nations. It’s also a stupid expensive sport to play (in Canada which is the cheapest place in the world to play hockey, at top levels, you are…

And then you lose the human element of strategy. Pitchers, catchers, and hitters work with the zones they get night to night, umpire to umpire.

Imagine saying something so confidently and being so wrong.  You should head to a muni course on the weekend some time.

“I’m only asking questions.”

The guy who plowed his car into the crowd that day was from Ohio. Ninety eight percent of the clowns who rallied in Charlottesville were from elsewhere. Charlottesville in the main is a progressive college town. Two years after that fateful weekend, virtually every business in the town has a sign in the window…

yeah well, at least these Jet updates won’t kill anybody

If Dijonnaise Norman gets there, can we make it the Savory 16?

I miss Iowa. I grew up there, lived in Nebraska during high school and undergrad, then back to Iowa for grad school. Now I’ve been working for seven years in New England and I still feel like a Midwesterner far from home.

Putting your towels in a pile is now doing part of the laundry for them? The article literally says put your used towels in a pile, not neatly fold them. Making sure garbage is in a garbage can?
