'Do You Write Under Your Own Name?' (Free subscription) | yesterday
I was amazed, the other day, to chance upon a repeat on ITV3 of an episode of Poirot from 1990 that I hadn’t seen before, and which was set in the Lake District. I couldn’t remember an Agatha Christie story set in the Lakes – despite the fact that she knew Cheshire through her visits to Abney Hall and Marple, I am pretty sure that she wrote fewer stories set in the north of England...

Mandy Mullen’s story about Scientology (“Weird Science,” PostScript, Nov. 15) is all lies in the service of Anonymous, a hate group that targets our Church, or even anyone who just falls onto their radar. Mullen says Scientology was supposed to help ...

The minute after Rod Gantefore told Saskatchewan that his provincial budget was over $1 Billion in deficit, Sask Party spin doctors started twirling and whirling their carefully crafted cover line. " No one could have possibly projected the decline in revenue that is causing the deficit." The spinners called into every open line talk show that they could - spinning and spinning. Even talk...

The Pittsburgh trip I'm telling you about -- Red Star, Church, East End, Full Pint, an' 'at -- is, of course, not complete . It's because there are two huge holes in it: Iron City and Penn . I stopped and stared at the big, silent Iron City brewery Wednesday morning when I was visiting Church Brew Works: the huge graphics coming off the walls, the little sign still saying "Beer Gear Shop."...

It seems highly suspect that an adult should be treated like a child in facilities such as these, for instance, one is expected to sit in line in the TV room (for wont of a better term). Other examples of behaviour designed to induce conformity include requiring permission to perform almost every task with the only exception of bodily functions. Although, upon reflection, even this most basic of human...

A few days ago, I published verbatim the NOAA forecast discussion for the Puget Sound area. That post was the 1,000th post for this humble blog and the choice of subject was no accident. You see, back in my co-blogging days at the now defunct Mockingbird's Medley I posted something very similar there just to be silly. Turns out I stole the 1,000th post from Jim Yeager, the head Mockingbird. That was...

Last month saw the anniversary of Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, the one great admiral and the one great naval victory that just about everyone knows, even if they know no another. But let me bring to your attention a forgotten admiral-Sir Edward Hawke-and a forgotten victory-the Battle of Quiberon Bay, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of which just happens to fall on this...

By Henry Abbott It's one of the ballsiest basketball offenses imaginable. A player is suspended for five games for fighting. His team will really miss him. So they hatch a cunning plan, and on a road trip where they hope nobody will notice the difference they slip him onto the court in a teammate's uniform . If you saw this on some TV drama you'd say "That is so totally fake. Nobody would try...
