I recently spent 11 eternal days in Alanya, Turkey, a resort that is two hours away by bus from Antalya. Unfortunately for me, the trip was worse than my previous European summer excursions to Hvar, Croatia, and Odessa. Actually, it was worse than just about anywhere I've been in the past five years, even Riga, Copenhagen, and Washington DC. If you're considering a summer trip to Turkey, you need to keep the following in mind: 1. There are a lot of horny Turkish guys In spite of any propagandic notion from the American media that Turkey is Westernizing, the sex roles remain Read More

Award-winning journalist Matthew Syed recently wrote a compelling article on the rank hypocrisy evident in the tennis equal pay debate. This snippet from Syed brilliantly sums up the debacle that is “tennis feminism”: In most sports, they are free to compete against men, on an equal footing. They choose not to take up the invitation, except in a few rare exceptions, such as bowls and equestrianism. This is not supposed to be a trite point, or a chauvinistic one.

My great uncle and aunt have a house in Oxford, Mississippi, and this fall they invited me to come for an Ole Miss game, since they were playing my team. I had a friend that went to a graduate school program in the state of Mississippi, and he told me that all the alumni were so mopey that they did not get into Ole Miss and would wear their Ole Miss polos to class half the days. College truly was the best years of their lives, in the sense that they will spend the rest of their lives pining for the Read More
