I know it's such a clich by now, but I suspect that there are many national policy makers and business and industry leaders who are simply unaware of the old (and oft-misquoted) George Santayana quote.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.: A few weeks ago we suggested that a fight would rank among the biggest in history. We still think so and with Manny's dominating performance against Oscar, it should serve as even more motivation for Pretty Boy Floyd to come out of retirement. While somewhere in Las Vegas mansion Floyd was probably thinking, boxing is really going to miss me! Not any more. Manny is essentially...

I spent a chilly two hours this morning touring the old Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City. The prison was decommissioned some years ago, replaced by a new facility east of the city. The old facility is rich in history. It was the oldest prison west of the Mississippi and, at one time, was the largest prison in the world, with 5,200 inmates. Former inmates include James Earl Ray, Pretty...

Today we have two new pictures from PUBLIC ENEMIES, the Michael Mann helmed, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp flick. In the movie, Bale's FBI agent Melvin Purvis tries to take down Depp's John Dillinger and his crew, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson. Billy Crudup co-stars as J. Edgar Hoover. And to be honest, these pictures are pretty underwhelming. For something starring Bale and Depp these images...

Look, I really enjoy much of Culture11. Good articles, eccentric point of view. But their article "Pins On A Map: Tulsa" by Gary Lee is the kind of puffery that would not be out of place in any given issue of such outlets of Babbittry as Urban Tulsa, the Tulsa World, or propaganda mailers from the Mayor's Office. The notion of pushing Tulsa as the arts capital of, um, anything is just too

On this day in 1934, bank robber Pretty Boy Floyd was gunned down by Feds in East Liverpool, Ohio. And on this day in 1962, Kennedy informed Americans that Cuba had Soviet Weapons.

Anyway, on the 22nd Day of the Tenth Month in the Year Of Our Dollar's Terminal Sickness, Things Done Changed , and the world feels like it's falling apart more than...

The following editorial by Michael J. O’Neal appeared in today's edition of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News . “And while you're at it, thumb your nose at Pretty-Boy Floyd and his hallway hooligans .” O’Neal just keeps getting better and better. What's this? Hooliganism at Washington State University? Threats? Shoving? Heaven forfend! One can only sputter. Whence goeth scholarly decorum and academic equipoise?...
