Traditionalists fighting their rearguard skirmishes against the slobification of America suffered another defeat recently when the U.S. Senate abandoned its expectation that men wear a jacket and tie when on the Senate floor.
The Raiders may have left Oakland for Las Vegas, but a villain big and bold is still robbing residents of their gold — or, more specifically, their outboard motors.
Every now and then, you have to allow yourself to be happy at someone else’s misfortune. You’re not supposed to, of course. Schadenfreude is often considered an unattractive emotion that leads to a curdled and bitter perspective.

Murkowski represents Alaska; hence the salmon steaks. Sen. Romney has been in Siberia for years; hence the TV dinners for one.
