My plan was to procrastinate this year, as usual, before finally putting out a Christmas Gift Guide the week before Christmas, when it’s too late to get hold of any of the items I mention.

OPINION — We all know languages change over time. Very few of us, for example, speak the way people did 500 years ago, when Bill Shakespeare wrote screenplays for the BBC, using words like forsooth and wherefore and methinks.

OPINION — Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that CNN, that paragon of integrity in news reporting, has finally figured out what’s causing all the global warming. The bad news is that the culprit is your pet.

OPINION — As I’m sure you’ve already heard, the art world was recently stood on its collective ear by a pickle. This was not just any pickle, but a pickle from a McDonald’s hamburger. And although you’d have a hard time finding anything in the universe less rare than a McD’s pickle, this one was special. But before we get to the pickle, you’ll need some background.

My maternal great-grandfather came to the United States from Sweden on a cattle boat during the late 19th century.

Elon Musk has been the darling of the greenies for a long time, because he owns Tesla. The ecos really like the idea of the electric car, since it allows them to tell themselves they’re doing something good for the environment.

March is a busy month in Texas, and with Ground Hog Day behind us, it’s time to gear up for Texas Independence Day (2 March)...

The first episode in the Star Wars Made Stephen Spielberg A Billionaire movie franchise series, called The Phantom Menace, came out in 1999.

OPINION — As my friend Abe Lincoln once posted on Twitter, ‘Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.’

OPINION — Americans everywhere should be pleased about the great news from last week, when Jussie Smollett’s attacker was finally brought to justice. Unfortunately for Jussie, he can now honestly quote from the Pogo comic strip, ‘We have met the enemy and he is us.’
