Philip, Prince Consort Extraordinaire, Is Dead
Saturday, April 10, 2021 at 6:32 AM
I am an ardent anti-monarchist. But the purportedly chauvinistic Philip put a public face on feminism long before its modern wave became a movement. I eulogize him for doing so with dignity and inimitable charm. Indeed, I saw no contradiction in hailing Philip and Elizabeth II on the occasion of their diamond wedding anniversary. I… Read more.
Treated Like Pariahs in America, Fox-News Murdochs Flee to Australia
Thursday, April 8, 2021 at 6:14 AM
I occasionally have cause to wonder if my persuasiveness and clairvoyance are not greater than I realize. Case in point, Rupert Murdoch is a naturalized American. But I’ve argued for years that he seems more hell-bent on doing everything to destroy this country from the inside than Vladimir Putin is on doing so from the… Read more.
Chauvin Prosecutors Are No ‘Dream Team.’ But Their Witnesses Are From Central Casting.
Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at 6:56 AM
Have you been keeping track of the prosecutors in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis cop who kneed George Floyd to death so infamously? You’d be forgiven the impression that they’re trying to emulate the “Dream Team” who defended O.J. Simpson … so infamously. I will stipulate that each prosecutor is performing well… Read more.
Stanford Edges Arizona to Win Women’s Basketball Title. Relocate (Don’t Boycott) Beijing 2022 Olympics!
Monday, April 5, 2021 at 6:37 AM
Organizers hype the annual NCAA Division 1 women’s and men’s basketball tournaments as “March Madness.” They do so to exploit “the thrill of victory and agony of defeat” inherent in watching low-seeded teams (aka Cinderellas) upset top-seeded ones — often with buzzer-beating hail marys. Unfortunately, these tournaments rarely live up to the hype, respectively. Sure… Read more.
Americans Abandoning Churches … en Masse
Tuesday, March 30, 2021 at 6:18 AM
I am loath to abuse my standing as the deprogrammed son of an evangelical preacher man. But I am moved by the Holy Spirit (heehee) to at least acknowledge this seminal religious trend (and this is Holy Week after all): Americans’ membership in houses of worship continued to decline last year, dropping below 50% for… Read more.

British Royals Trapped … in Gilded Cages…?
Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 6:17 PM
Only children believe in fairy tales. Yet it took the tragic life of Princess Diana for many to realize that royalty is no fairy tale. Her son, Prince Harry, is reinforcing this realization. He’s claiming that British royals are trapped in gilded cages. And that makes their fairy-tale lives seem very grim indeed. British royals trapped… Read more.

Just last week, a (typical) white gunman allegedly sought to exorcise his demonic sexual impulses by shooting up three massage parlors in Atlanta, killing eight, including 6 Asian women. This week a (bogeyman) Muslim allegedly sought to avenge his schoolyard bullying by shooting up a supermarket in Boulder, killing 10, including a police officer. Here… Read more.

Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 6:41 AM
Colleges treat female athletes as second-class citizens, especially compared with their male counterparts. And one can hardly blame most female athletes for accepting it. After all, even the highly successful and celebrated women’s USA soccer team has been waging a decades-long battle for equal treatment in this respect, to no avail.
