Just heard on BBC Newshour: Residents and Police in Norman, OK report rising problems with off-campus parties due to a new dry campus policy at the University of Oklahoma. I know universities are concerned about drinking, but is pushing it off-campus into the city really the best solution?

I love this movie. I watched it about a thousand times when I was a kid, and I’m happy to say that watching it as an adult was equally enjoyable (unlike say, Ladybugs or the Mighty Ducks or other childhood favorites that appall you and make you wonder when in the world you got […]

It’s been far too long since I saw the Japanese version, so I can’t compare them — but I found this version to be a lot more entertaining than I expected.

I avoided temptation once, but eventually I had to give in. It took me quite a while to finish, but I really enjoyed it in the end. Well, actually I didn’t quite like the end but I really enjoyed the rest of the book. I’m afraid that having completed this book has weakened my anti-McSweeney […]

A fascinating history of the Lincoln assasination. The only real problem is that the author’s ego gets in the way a few times. He doesn’t hesitate to criticize past histories and to congratulate himself for his ground breaking work. I don’t know enough about the subject to know one way or the other, but the […]
