Who are you, ¿mujer misteriosa de madera?I am addicted to very few television shows, and most of those I can catch illegally on YouTube. One of the few that I cannot help watching about every single time it airs...
Man vs. computer ends badly: On May 11, 1997, chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov resigns after 19 moves in a game against Deep Blue, a chess-playing computer developed by scientists at IBM. This was the sixth and final game of their match,...
Jeffrey Goldberg (h/t Instapundit) It's been a tough year already for Hezbollah's apologists; the assassination of Imad Mugniyah, the terrorist many of Hezbollah's friends denied existed until Hezbollah gave him what amounted to a state funeral, hurt the cause of those...
I'm not a big fan of Thomas Friedman, but his Mother's Day column is rather touching. The ad popped up in my e-mail the way it always has: 1-800-Flowers: MotherӒs Day Madness 30 Tulips + FREE vase for just $39.99!ה I...
Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, all you’re basically doing is just banging your head against the wood shutters on the outside of your house? Maybe slamming your head against a brick wall might work...
According to the AP, The Florida Marlins and shortstop Hanley Ramirez agreed on a contract extension for six years and $70 million. Despite the history with the Marlins of dumping high-value players or trading them, they have decided to put...
I never have noticed this before, but it seems as if there are just more steamed crab houses, shops and shacks on the east side of the Beltway than the west (which makes sense, since the west side is a...

Perhaps we should not consider it curtains for Steve Trachsel, at least for now. The elder righty, who has been a topic of speculation -- mainly if he's still be employed in the future -- went a little more than...
I am flush with so much extra computer equipment now, it’s not even funny. And everything is unusable in both of our new computers. From the fabulous video cards that we had in both of our custom-built machines,...

Many moons ago, half-rated TV sitcom Hearts Afire ran an episode with a somewhat ignominious guest star. I say half-rated because although it starred the late John Ritter and had its bright spots, it never really found an audience. Another...
