If you like cats, you should definitely not watch this. And you might not want to buy a Ford anytime soon, either… not that, given the overall quality of their cars, you were probably hurrying out to do just that anyway. Note to the clueless: The Ford Ka is a …

For Mothers Day I got Eleya a Cingular GSM cell phone. We have started referring to it as the Zoolander phone because it seems impossibly tiny. The actual model is a Samsung s307, and it has all the latest geegaws such as cool ringtones and background wallpapers, Web browsing, SMS …

A frank and uncompromising, but realistic assessment of the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, on NRO today. The author is a founding member of the Iraqi National Congress, a dissident group formed in the 1990’s and funded in part by the U.S. Government, but this does not change the fact that …

Before I embark on the next exciting chapter, here’s some beautiful pictures of Evie, and one with both her and Ethan.

Leah and I just got back from our super-compressed, animal-cruelty-free (and largely audience-free) America’s Wasteland Drive-Till-You-Die tour.
