Republicans need to adapt or become irrelevant

Netflix-binge drinking: Mad Men edition

“Mad Men” was truly designed for a drinking game. The end of an era began Sunday.

Oh, what an era. The ultimate “Mad Men” drinking game would be to match each person, drink for drink, in the show. But then you’d be sure to die, so here’s a modified version.

Cookbook introductions: How to write one and why you should read them

Often an overlooked element, the introductory pages to a book tell the reader everything. You find out what the book is about, why the author is writing it and who it is for. You meet the author and get a feel for the book. Introductions set the tone and flavor of the book and can make the difference in whether someone keeps reading it or leaves it on the shelf.
