“I wouldn’t (bleep) her with your (bleep) …” That’s the closest I’m going to come to expressing that particular opinion about two of the leading female luminaries in the Republican Party. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia are both first-term representatives in Congress, and while Boebert’s western Colorado district is the …
I didn’t go to the first big concert at the Capital Center. In fact, I didn’t make it to any of the three that opened the arena in December 1973 — the Allman Brothers, the Who or Alice Cooper/ZZ Top. I did see the first big concert of 1974, the huge show featuring Bob Dylan …

Make no mistake about Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s straight out of the playbook. The playbook from the late 1930s, the playbook of Adolf Hitler. The only difference is that Putin says nothing about lebensraum — living space. If there’s one thing Russia has plenty of, it’s living space. But Putin has said numerous …
