NEW YORK—“Men of good will” is an expression you don’t hear much anymore. It’s used mostly by the courts, especially when the topic is contract law, because when two guys sign an agreement, they’re expected to be frank and open about their intentions. But during the Christmas season, ...
NEW YORK—If you’re having a gay wedding, and your cake has been baked by a man who thinks gay marriage is an abomination against God, do not eat the cake. I’m surprised I have to tell you this. People like myself are in no danger at all because we learned years ago to never eat the wedding ...
NEW YORK—It’s been a rough year for stump speaking in general, but let’s make a resolution for 2018: We need to start listening to these White Pride guys in the polo shirts and khaki pants. And we need to start arresting the Antifa thugs. Liberals and conservatives alike should agree that the ...
NEW YORK—Why is it The Trump Era? Who invented this? Why do I read this forty times a week? I’m not sure I’m ready to give this guy his own era. There are actually only three eras: Paleozoic (which lasted 292 million years), Mesozoic (185 million), and Cenozoic (65 million and ...

PALM BEACH, Fla.—Elon Musk is not going to Mars in 2022. I hope I’m wrong. I hope I’m one of those guys they make fun of in the history books, the ones immortalized by George Gershwin: They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round. They all laughed when ...
BROOKLINE, Mass.—Let me put this in context so you don’t think I’m an idiot. I like to read. I like words. I don’t shrink from difficult texts. I’ve read Ulysses, although I probably won’t reread it. I’ve labored through Paradise Lost. I was an English major, so they made us read ...
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Let’s suppose young Boris and young Ivan are reporting to work on their first day of duty at the KGB Internet Ops Center outside Moscow—it’s not called the KGB anymore, but you get the idea—and the papers for these rookies are still being processed by their handlers and ...
ORLANDO, Fla.—One of the funniest writers in the sports department where I started my career—a quick-witted guy who should have known better—got promoted to editorial writer. This meant he was responsible for the daily Wisdom Decrees passed down by whoever dwells in those mahogany-lined ...
