  1. Chan Lowe: Marco Rubio's State of the Union rebuttal

    While going through the Letters to the Editor inbox this morning, I uncovered a particularly nasty epistle. The author felt that Marco Rubio had a lot of gall with his intention to deliver part of his official rebuttal to the State of the Union address in Spanish. With the inconsistent spelling, twisted grammar and tortured syntax in which such English-only rants are so often couched, she took it as an insult to the American people that a political speech should be made in any language but English.

  3. Viewpoint: The good, bad and ugly of getting older

    With my birthday coming up in the very near future I was thinking about some of the things that annoy those of us getting up in years. I am grateful several female friends shared their pet peeves. These aren’t in any particular order.

  4. In books, Baltimore beats Denver

    As the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos get ready for their big playoff game Saturday, there are plenty of opinions about how the teams and <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/bal-baltimore-vs-denver-pictures-20130110,0,2688274.photogallery" target="_blank">cities compare</a>. But in one competition -- based on books -- Baltimore wins hands down.

  5. Whom to blame

    The Baltimore Sun

  6. Some dare call it unreason

    The Baltimore Sun
    When I was in high school, the drama group traveled to Louisville to see a series of plays (my first experience of Sheridan's Rivals!). As we walked to the theater, a gentleman was handing out some kind of document. It was typed, single-spaced, with no...

  8. Only one way to make good martinis

     In Medieval Japan, brewing and serving a cup of tea became as serious and as carefully scripted as a baptism or the Latin Mass.  The preparation of the room, the placement of the utensils, mixing and heating the tea, and the exchanges between the...

  11. What to do with creationists

    The Baltimore Sun
    In a post earlier today on the anniversary of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, I casually grouped creationsts among hysterics about the Obama re-election and other individuals who do not appear to be wired to code. I may not have done them...
