The more I hear about the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, with the ever increasing number of British passports allegedly involved, the more I wonder whether this was a Mossad led assassination, or if it’s a double blind.  You see, it strikes me as a very clumsy job, especially

I hadn’t been playing close attention so, when I saw a famous Olympic athlete interviewed on TV, I got confused.  You tell me whether or not this is a case of separated at birth: Shaun White: Carrot Top: Although I will freely concede that White is much more wholesome looking

I got a perfect score on this one, proving that I need to get a life.  (I’ve also always had a knack for multiple choice questions, which is why I tested out of having to take math classes at college, despite my abysmal performance in actual math classes at high

Ah!  I’m finally back home, which is always the place I like best.  I’ve been trying to catch up on a week’s worth of missed political reading and am finding that it just can’t be done.  I’m starting afresh, as if the past week never happened.  I know bits and

If you haven’t seen Andrew Klavan’s latest offering, you must.  I’ve always liked Klavan, but he’s really hitting his stride lately. Hat tip:  Lulu

In my younger days, I could have danced all night.  Now that I’m a big rickety, about 2 hours let me ready to call it a night.  But what fun I had! This morning, as it’s Saturday, is devoted to family concerns and this afternoon, because it’s February in these

I’m in a seriously foul mood.  Several years ago, I read that high end designers were phasing out petite clothes.  That didn’t bug me, because I don’t wear high end clothes.  I wear jeans, and simple shirts. But what starts at the top, trickles down.  The stores have now done
