You’ve been waiting almost 12 whole months just for this post. The world has been waiting that long for just this moment. Am I being facetious? Yes, but please allow me this moment. Forget the Grammys. Ignore the American Music Awards. Don’t even bother with the Billboard Music Awards–no […]
Glenn Reynolds may be quite comfortable with his relationship with his mother. You can be sure I would never say this about my mom:
Er, and a bit of advice: yes, if you do aerobics and go running while wearing heavy ankle weights, it will tone you very impressively. But there is a price. . […]
The Boston Globe’s “Ideas” section covers the debate over how Christian Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings story is. Tolkien himself described the it as a “religious and Catholic work.” But secular Tolkienists offer arguments that the story’s pagan origin and universal themes make it much more than Christian theology wrapped with swords and […]
Kwanzaa was inspired by Julius Nyerere who from 1961 to 1984 led Tanzania along the path to a Workers Paradise (A.K.A. The Road to Serfdom). The results:

I saw The Two Towers tonight and was truly impressed. The visual scope of the film may have exceeded The Fellowship of the Ring, and that’s saying a lot. The major battle was intricate, well thought out, and riveting even if I knew the final outcome. The Ents were everything I expected […]
