...women should be allowed to join golf clubs. This is a decision that was last grappled with by Darren on Bewitched. It's a little late to take a stand on this when we've already got women reporters in the male golf-club locker room. Jean-Marie Le Pen had French pundits discussing why fascism is bad. Trent Lott had U.S. pundits discussing why segregation is bad. It was as if the international debate team accidentally picked up topic lists from 1939 and 1958.

After scoring a touchdown in the same Green Bay game, this 49er grabbed some pom poms from a cheerleader and shook his groove thing in the end zone. Let’s not forget that this is the same Mr. Owens who stashed a pen in his sock and autographed a touchdown ball during a game earlier in the season.

Also note that the IO remembers what you write only when you use the special paper it comes with; with regular paper, it's just a plain old pen--and a fat one at that; the IO is so thick, it's like writing with a banana. But it works, and although it's not perfect, the IO is a ray of hope for analog authors stuck in an increasingly digital world. --By Lev Grossman
...documents potentially important to the inquiry have been shredded. The investigators are focusing on the possible destruction of notes, e-mails and memos written by top officials in Rehnquist's office. Rehnquist has denied that anything of significance was shredded, but the discovery prompted Rehnquist's general counsel to pen a Thanksgiving-week e-mail urging HHS staff to stop shredding...
