    UNLIKE YOU, I have options. A number of years ago I married an intelligent, blonde woman who spoke many languages, including one that sounded like the soundtrack from “Thor: Ragnarok.” It was gobbledygook to me, but she turned out to be Norwegian — imagine my luck! That’s right. Not only do we have the right to resettle in Donald Trump’s favorite white-bread country — Norway makes New Hampshire look like the Model UN — but Norway is also anxious to have us. We have been perusing a website called “New Beginnings in Ringerike,” which bills itself as a “recovery” program...

    Under the title, The Discreet charm of Republican Women, Boston Globe columnist, Alex Beam, breaks with the liberal herd's view of Sarah Palin: "Whoever picked Palin must have been a genius. So she's not exactly sure what the Bush Doctrine is - who cares? The whole point of electing a new president is to get rid of the Bush Doctrine once and for all.

    So how does it feel to be included in Bernard Goldberg's latest clip job, ''100 People Who Are Screwing Up America"? ''I'm shocked," says MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins, the woman who blew the whistle on Harvard president Lawrence Summers's musings about women's inability to succeed in the ''hard" sciences. Hopkins has three other quotable reactions: (1) ''It's a book?" (2) ''Why is Larry Summers not on the list?" and (3) ''Who is Bernard Goldberg?" Goldberg is a former CBS correspondent turned literary genius who has managed to summon three best-selling books from the bile of his ruined career. The people...

    Imagine a parallel universe where Canadians Norman Jewison and Ivan Reitman are considered the greatest Hollywood directors who ever lived. Where you can read an article about Microsoft attempting to steal the Mohawk language, and peruse endless coverage of the ''Grits," a political party, not a watery food served south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Welcome to the world of nealenews.com, better known as the Canadian Drudge Report. Nealenews, the creation of a 38-year-old Ontario-based technical writer named Brian Neale, is to the Drudge Report as Canada is to the United States. That means his site strongly resembles Matt Drudge's, Neale...
