  • Common Sense as the Battle Rages0

    Jim Webb

    After the events I witnessed last week, I felt compelled to focus on a couple of things that were discussed everywhere.

    Steph Nordstrom

    We are getting pretty close to the dog days of summer. The kids have no schedule and are eating popsicles for breakfast. The pool is a perfectly acceptable replacement for a shower. The wi-fi is begging for a break. Everyone is just a little feral this time of year. But this is also when the

  • Eyebrows as We Age0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    Brow trends come and go with every decade. Remember the over-plucked shapes of the ’90s or the glossy, laminated arches of the ’00s? Thankfully, I’ve kept my brow game fairly conservative and consistent for the past two decades. There was a bleached brow moment from my early 20s, but that was short-lived. Regardless of trends,

  • Confusion, Delusion or Plan0

    Jim Webb

    President Biden may have tipped his hand with some of his comments last week.

Before I get to my thoughts on where that’s heading, I’d like to give

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Now well into its second year, Webb’s “Weird Words” is principally concerned with oddball vocabulary — terms like tchotchke, whigmaleerie, foozle, bosky and tintinnabulation, all of which we’ve covered in this space. But over the last five columns, “WW” has been sidetracked on related etymological issues — specifically, terms that come from numbers (i.e., quintessential,

    In my entire life of following political matters, I do not believe I have ever seen a period of time where federal, state, and local government entities each encountered historical events at the same time.
