My Blog

  I’m truly enjoying the chaos in my Facebook and Twitter newsfeeds this morning over Donald Trump becoming the presumptive nominee last night, thanks to his landslide victory in Indiana. “HOWWWW?” whine the liberals. “Vote Gary Johnson!” cry the libertarians. They don’t get it.

“But what would have been the good?” Aslan said nothing. “You mean,” said Lucy rather faintly, “that it would have turned out all right – somehow? But how? Please, Aslan! Am I not to know?” “To know what would have happened, child?” said Aslan. “No. Nobody is ever told that.” “Oh dear,” said Lucy. “But…

Well, it only took me a week, but I’ve recovered enough from my trip to the New York International Auto Show to write about it. There were so many dinners, galas, preveals, private events, blah blah blah that I can barely remember them all. Here are my impressions of the show in my best BuzzFeed…

Want to prove that you know more about sports than I do? Then go here. Search for “Riverside Green.” Create your own bracket and see if you can beat Bark at sports prognostications. Fair warning—I did this on my own blog last year, and I came out victorious. Just saying. You only have until the…

I am quite pleased to be able to do two “Ask Bark” features per week now at TTAC, as they appear to be doing quite well from both a clicky-click standpoint and a reader engagement standpoint. But, I can only answer questions if readers send them in. That’s where you come in, dear RG readers.

   Short and sweet: Panthers 45, Broncos 10 Unfortunately, I don’t see any way that this ends well for Peyton Manning. Demaryius Thomas has disappeared this postseason, and Manning simply cannot throw the ball downfield. This will allow the Panthers to set their linebackers loose on the run game, rendering Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson…

I just typed out about 600 words in response to the reaction today’s Ask Bark received from the B&B. And then I deleted it. Whew, I feel much better now. Enjoy your Thursday evening, everybody!

Everybody say “Hi!” to Justin, a reader from across the pond who is here to tell the story of his diesel BMW station wagon (cue premature Jalop-ulation) and how it wormed its way into his affections — JB In your youth you never saw yourself out there, the low-revs-high-torque deadzone of combustion, the unthinking strip…

If you listened to the premiere edition of The BarkCast (and really, who hasn’t by now), you know that I’ve been envying Matt Farah’s Shinola watch for quite some time. Well, as luck would have it (and I literally mean luck at the Spanish 21 tables), I found myself in possession of enough money to swing…
