When we last visited New York Times Catholic Crusader furry Ross Douthat, he was discussing history’s greatest riddle: “Why is there no Jewish Narnia?” His answer was something along the lines of “Not enough hobbits” — a reference to the Holocaust, maybe. Since we now know why there is no Jewish Narnia, Douthat has moved [...]
Very important teevee alert: The Oscars are on this weekend. Hooray!

Oh brother, here we go again. Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida, is known for precisely two things: being orange, and having a dreadful porn mustache in the 1970s, which was the style at the time.

Heartthrob angel of death Rahm Emanuel went to the movies Saturday night!
