The image above shows some of the things that I always have with me.  They’re not in the car, or in a bag that I may or may not bring with me, or in another room – they’re in my pockets, or if I’m at home, within arms reach or very close by.  In short, [...]

With his recent demolition of Cotto, Manny Pacquiao has clearly proven that he belongs in the welterweight division.  Unfortunately, while this makes a meeting between Pacquiao and Mayweather the only fight that makes sense to any boxing fan, this also makes such an encounter highly unlikely.

Part of the way through a post on [...]

It was bad enough when I read this post about anti-terror police targeting “suspicious” photographers. It highlighted the poster to the right. The text?
