    Lewinsky back in the news

    Posted on May 9, 2014 by moc

    Clever? Calculating? A willing pawn of the Clintons? An agent of the vast right-wing conspiracy? What do I think of Monica Lewinsky in 2014? I’m reminded of the words of my good friend, Howard Roark… I don’t think of her. Case … Continue reading →

    I had breakfast with Senator Rand Paul this morning. Okay, me and a hundred other people. One of the frontrunners for the GOP presidential ticket in 2016 addressed a crowd of supporters at the Leadership Institute in Arlington this morning, … Continue reading →

    Some remote corners of the world still do it right

    This weekend I spent two days in Winchester, Virginia, at its annual Apple Blossom Festival. “The Bloom,” as the locals call it, is no joke, drawing tens of thousands to this otherwise two-bit town for a few days of diversion … Continue reading →

    Basketball anyone?

    Meanwhile, those who actually care about the game on the court rather than in courts were treated to three great games last night, in which three teams facing elimination won three Game Sixes to force three undoubtedly good Game Sevens. Basketball … Continue reading →

    Sterling no more

    There are two things of which one can be sure in the year 2014: 1.) assume you’re being recorded and/or videotaped every moment of your life; and 2.) the P.C. police always wins. Thanks, Commissioner, for making the easiest heroic … Continue reading →

    Thanks for bringing it, Mad Men

    Here facing my first Monday in forever with no Archer and no HIMYM, I can at least bask in that Monday morning post-Mad Men glow. Last night’s episode was the best of the season thus far. Good to see Betty again, good … Continue reading →

    Fargo just not hitting it

    Maybe I expected too much from Fargo. Yeah, they’ve got me for however many episodes they put out this season, but I’ve decided the show is just not as good as I thought it would be. (No one even died in … Continue reading →

    Archer season finale does it right

    Posted on April 24, 2014 by moc
    Reply

    Monday night’s finale to Archer‘s fifth season was a welcome beacon in a sea of so-so television thus far this spring. It gave me pretty much every reason why I watch the show (including some classic speeches) and left us, … Continue reading →

    Mad Men stuck in neutral

    Posted on April 21, 2014 by moc
    Reply

    Okay, okay, it’s been only two episodes, but this season’s episodes of Mad Men have left a bit to be desired. Somehow there are too many side plots, too many characters, and not enough Don Draper being awesome. “Stuck in neutral” … Continue reading →

    Good Friday? Well, pretty good. Just pretty good. I think Saturdays are better personally.
