The Value of Collective Wisdom
My favorite analysis of the British vote to leave the European Union last week is that the “Oldsters are ‘screwing’ the Youngsters”. It is the opinion of those on the Left that everyone who voted for the Brexit was a “fascist, racist old coot who is seeking to put up walls around the country”. Beyond employing…… READ MORE
The Games People Won’t Play
What if you held an Olympics and nobody came to play? The roster of top-notch athletes who are choosing NOT to compete at Rio, Brazil this summer is growing. Golfers Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen have all made very public announcements that they will not take part in the return of…… READ MORE

One of those laws would be to ban those on the FBI’s terror watch list from purchasing handguns. The belief is that having such a law would have…… READ MORE
The Golfing Sadists
The US Open gets underway today at the ultimate venue for what is generally considered the “toughest test in golf”: Oakmont Country Club just outside of Pittsburgh. Oakmont is regarded as the most difficult golf course in the United States–and when the wind isn’t blowing at Carnoustie in Scotland–it’s probably the most difficult golf course in…… READ MORE
When a Record is not a Record
It’s not often that I agree with Pete Rose on anything, but I do have to back him in a debate over his status as baseball’s “All Time Hit King”. Some are taking Major League Baseball to task for not promoting the fact that Ichiro Suzuki of the Florida Marlins is just one base hit…… READ MORE
