Walking through my local park one sunny evening recently, I was confronted by the surprisingly amusing sight of an apparent attempted child-grooming incident. A tall, twentysomething-looking, brown, and fuzzy-haired individual of distinctly Middle Eastern mien had stolen the soccer ball of some ...
Last month saw the thirtieth anniversary of the death of one of my favorite conservative thinkers, Russell Kirk, back in April 1994. Very possibly Kirk enjoyed the process of passing away into another world, as his conservative beliefs were partly inspired by a lifelong belief in the ...
17 May saw the 60th anniversary of the death in 1964 of one of my all-time favorite weirdos, the Hungarian-born Jewish ghost-hunter, journalist, and Freudian psychoanalyst Nandor Fodor.

Growing up, I was genuinely obsessed by Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. If I ever found myself daydreaming in class, I would doodle swastikas and cartoon drawings of Hitler’s head all over my pencil case and schoolbooks. To look at them, you would have been forgiven for thinking I was a neo-Nazi ...
Did you eat a lot of chocolate for Easter last weekend? If so, did your choice of which particular color of candy egg to swallow say something deeply significant about you as a person? Personally, I tend to prefer white chocolate to ordinary brown milk chocolate, and I certainly prefer the latter ...
In this Year of Our Lord 2024, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to tell the real news stories from the fake-news spoofs. I recently saw a story with the headline “Gay Jewish man claims lesbian couple ditched him as a sperm donor because of war in Gaza,” which touched on so many ...
