Because if one thing goes sour, well, at least two of the others are likel...

Life, Death and Iguanas: A book project by Marc Newhouse. Cheat the Nursing Home. 30,000 Lives Project. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Well, you know it must be true, since I got it from this website:. It’s not fair, really, to make fun of these people, since shouldn’t I be picking on people—intellectually—of somewhat similar size? There are, after all, a lot of intelligent, thinking Christians, who have to put up a lot of crazies purportedly of their ilk, and do they need me to join the fight? OK, Wikipedia, te...

That said, the case of Józef Wesolowski certainly is unlike any other. You may remember, he was the papal nuncio for the Dominican Republic and the apostolic delegate for Puerto Rico, since one of the most crushing blows about not being an independent state is that we cannot have formal relations with the Vatican. Ouch—boys, that. Well, that’s...

Montalvo Dances with the Grim Reaper. 8220;6:30,” I told him, since my phone had told me it was Montalvo, and he tends to dislike formalities. 8220;No,” he replied.

Full confession: I have spent half an hour watching Mr. Bean, because there’s nothing for it, there’s no sandbox deep enough to bury my head, the truth is as blinding as it is numbing. “Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,” and what can I do about it?

A travel agent could make quick work of it, or anybody looking at the itinerary of Expedia.com: Mr. Fernández and I would travel to Boston on a Friday, stay and take the train down to New York on Tuesday to attend my nephew’s graduation from Columbia University. So we would travel to two cities over ten days—easy, right? I told my father at last that I wou...

Life, Death and Iguanas: A book project by Marc Newhouse. Cheat the Nursing Home. 30,000 Lives Project. Ok—here’s the deal. So I wrote a book. Any Newhouse can do that. What we can't do is promote ourselves. I mean, it's not like we're timid or anything, and certainly not the silent sort. It's just…well…we're from Wisconsin. And of Norwegian heritage. We don't do that sort of thing…. So no big surprise that I hate marketing, right? Here are the rules:. 2 It’s gotta be funny. But how to do it? Hey, what i...

Start a dialogue about guns and violence in our society. Advocate for stronger gun-control laws. Provide a forum for victims of violence, or those who have been affected.
