By Alexandra Petri Everything I read about the monarchy in Britain bewilders me and fills me with confusion. I keep seeing headlines like “King Not Greeted With Expected Lamprey Pie (He Would Find It Distasteful to Be Presented With Lampreys Under the Circumstances),” and I have to ask the...

Not more males, more men. Jimmy tangled with, and beat, a wildcatting nuclear reactor. George H.W. drove a burning torpedo bomber through its attack run and took out his target before bailing out. Compare to what we've had since.

Article Long story short. . . Floriduh's new abortion law is requiring a woman to carry to term a darling widdle bee-bee who has no kidneys, won't be able to breathe, and will die 20 minutes to two hours after being born. I am sure that all them Gawd-fearin' conservatives out there are...
