A reader, who shall for the moment remain anonymous, emailed me recently to note how he had recently taken a bit of a nasty spill and injured his back. He was in quite a bit of pain when it happened, but he knew that if he didn’t make light of it, he would never...

Pretty much that. In which a Telly writer asks why the story of PIMCO investment chief Mohamed El-Erian’s decision to quit his job to be with his family was such a huge deal: I do hope you’re sitting down. A story has broken which caused its main...

Bob, duck, weave, and slip. That’s pretty much it. Oh, and- most important of all- KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. It’s actually not quite as easy as I make it sound- or he makes it look in that video. If you’ll notice, he uses his hands a great deal to slap or...

Yes, this is fairly normal in Israel. Personally I think the Tavor TAR-21 might be better suited for buying, uh, feminine hygiene products, though- don’t you agree? The esteemed Col. Tom Kratman published a trilogy of articles recently exploring some interesting...
