Forty years ago this week, baseball great Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record for most career home runs when he hit his 715th dinger in game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Unfortunately for Aaron and for America, the narrative that defined that homer chase in 1974 is the same today as it was forty years ago. It is all about the “letters.”

“Opposing gay marriage in America today is not akin to opposing tax hikes or even the war in Afghanistan,” wrote Will Oremus, Slate’s senior tech writer in an altogether typical op-ed applauding the sacking of the “bigoted” Brendan Eich for his support of traditional marriage. “It’s more akin to opposing interracial marriage: It bespeaks a conviction that some people do not deserve the same basic rights as others.”

Three weeks ago, I wrote on these pages that we may never know the true fate of MH-370, the doomed Malaysian Airliner.

For some, there's no excuse for a solid corporate citizen to follow its conscience.

In an impressively twisted column, even by his own contorted standards, The Kansas City Star’s Yael Abouhalkah recently decried the “hypocrisy” of the JE Dunn Company for its attempt to honor the conscience of its family members as the Obama administration very recently promised them it could.

Former congressman Barney Frank does not much like the wickedly cynical series on Netflix, House of Cards. He has particular trouble believing that a charming Southern Democrat and his ice-queen wife could cheat and lie and murder their way to the White House.

Last month, The School Superintendent’s Association named Miami-Dade Public Schools’ Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho National Superintendent of the Year. Not since the Norwegians gave Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize has a major award been so promiscuously given.

In his interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo this week, George Zimmerman did not come across as the guilty, apologetic killer the media hoped they would see.

Instead, when Cuomo asked Zimmerman what he hoped to do with his life, Zimmerman said he would like to be an attorney “to stop the miscarriage of justice that happened to me from happening to someone else.”

Just when I think I am beyond the reach of shock, I come across some new revelation that makes my head rotate.

Newsrooms across America were abuzz on Saturday morning when the story of a fatal shooting at a Columbia, Maryland, shopping mall hit the wire. “[B]odies fell as a familiar tragedy — homicidal lunacy in a crowded public place — brought terror to a suburban Maryland shopping complex,” wrote a team of Washington Post reporters hopefully.

$20 Million Memoirs?

In his much discussed New Yorker article, editor and Obama biographer David Remnick raises the question of how much President Barack Obama will secure for writing his post-presidential memoir. The one agent that Remnick queries suggests an advance somewhere between $17 and $20 million. What Remnick does not ask, of course, is who will write this putative memoir.
