Book cover via Amazon FYI, for those interested in these sorts of things: Women on the Web, an online women’s magazine, is giving away a beach bag containing an autographed copy of Jane Green’s The Beach House, Lancaster sunscreen products and a custom beach towel to five lucky readers. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fcollectedmiscellany.com%2F2008%2F09%2Ffree-stuff%2F’; addthis_title = [...]

I hope this means more books available for Kindle and available on the publication date. I seem to have looked at a few books who were not available on the Kindle until after the hardback had been released. Might have something to do with the publisher’s profit on each item. I would love to see digital [...]
Lamplighter (Monster Blood Tattoo, Book 2) by D.M. Cornish Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:00:32
Book cover via Amazon Way back in May when I saw that the second book in the Monster Blood Tattoo series by D.M. Cornish, the sequel to Foundling, was being released I was excited. But I will admit that I was a little nervous when I saw that Lamplighter was such a large tome (over 700 [...]

Obama's con

Great Blogger Headlines Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:30:17
Fisking Obama on his ridiculous attacks on Sarah Palin is like shooting fish in a barrel, but I wanted to draw your attention to two of my favorite responses. Ace has a long but effective title to his post: Extremely Confused Would-Be Commander-in-Chief Launches “Harshest Attack Yet” on Woman Who’s Not Technically Even His Opponent Ace links to [...]
Obama’s false bravado on change Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:54:00
Obama has clearly decided to run a campaign against President Bush. And he has also lost any sense of shame. He is constantly accusing his opponents of things that apply equally, or even more so, to himself. Take today: “Don’t be fooled,” a particularly punchy Obama told a crowd this morning at a town hall meeting [...]
Obama continues to smear opponents Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:02:40
Obama goes back to the “they will try to scare you” complaint: “I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told executives and employees of the Schott glass company Friday afternoon, “and I just want to be honest with you. I know that.” “And I know that the temptation is to say, [...]

Battle of the Best

Filed Under Sports: PGA

If you like golf you will want to watch the Ford Championship at Doral this afternoon. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are in the final pairing. And a look at the Leaderboard right now shows the top three players in the world fighting it out. Vijay Singh has birdied the first four holes to pull within 4 of Mickelson and Tiger is only 2 back. If Tiger wins he will regain the number one ranking in the world. Mickelson is looking to stake his claim as the dominant player in golf while Vijay looks to hang on to his #1 ranking and prove that last year was no fluke. I know I will be tuned in.

Just read your article at NRO - congrats on a good write-up!

I also got to watch the finish to that on Sunday and it was great. My favorite part was when they showed Tiger’s reaction to Phil missing his birdie chip on the 18th. Tiger didn’t even flinch since he was concentrating on the putt he had left.

I also liked that Phil was able to smile and enjoy his good shots, unlike Tiger. The most you get out of him is the fist-clinch. Hopefully he can get more fun out of the game, even though the tension is sky-high.

I noticed in your article you spelled the term for one-over par as “boggies”. I had seen that before spelled as “bogeys”. Is there some reference for that to double-check the correct spelling? Curious golfers would like to know.

Marc,

I think you are right. The correct spelling seems to be bogeys. I will point that out to NRO.
