My fondest memory: going somewhere on vacation with my wife, I don’t remember where, and I don’t remember if this was before kids or if Charles might have even been with us, but we […] I keep hearing from people who “aren’t into” Facebook and Twitter. You know what those people are saying? “You know what I hate? Keeping in touch with my friends and family. I’d like to distance myself as far from them as possible.” Facebook is what you make of it.

Sarah and I got into a small argument the other day, and I acceded to her wishes, but it doesn’t make any sense […] I’m watching the situation in Iran with absolute awe. I said earlier that I’ve never seen anything like this, and I supposed that’s not true; tearing down the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the USSR are similar, but not even half as well communicated.

A Philadelphia school teacher is under investigation for allegedly throwing a stapler that struck a student in the head. When I was in the 11th grade, I took “Honors Chemistry.” You would expect for someone who is, theoretically, very smart, […] Gene Weingarten, with his usual wit, explains the filibuster: Okay, say the Yankees and the Orioles are tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, but the Yanks have the bases loaded with nobody out, and the count on the batter is three balls, no strikes.
