Muhammad Ali was the greatest, but his greatest fights took a lot out of him (Guest Voice)
We never really knew Muhammad Ali, because, in his heyday, he never stopped talking long enough to let us. Most likely, that was not by chance. In life, he was "the greatest."

This should be bad for Donald Trump and good for the eventual Democratic … [Read more...] about The early winner of the 2016 campaign: Obama

Fairy Tales for Adults: It’s Time to Outgrow Ayn Rand and ‘Atlas Shrugged’
Like a lot of people, I read Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged in college, which is probably the worst damned time I could have done so.
