Three-star zombies

by

I’m all caught up on “The Last of Us,” television’s latest foray into the zombie-apocalypse genre. Of course I am! With the wife out of town for a few days, it’s time for this grown-ass man to watch whatever the hell he wants.  That means zombies. Longtime readers (there might be one or two) […]

Reich of fools

The Liar, the Confessor, and us

by

About Lance Armstrong: If you say you’re going to admit to something at a later date, isn’t that the same thing as admitting it right now? Do you really need to schedule an interview on national television to make it official? I don’t know who’s being more oily here: Armstrong for his weaselly maneuvers […]
