Imagine for a moment that you're a resident of Northern Virginia during the Fall of 2002. People filling up at the gas pump or just mowing the lawn are being shot dead by an unknown sniper. Then imagine you open the Washington Post one Sunday morning ... and there is a compelling photo of a […]

We here at Hoystory would like welcome the World's Greatest Niece back to California to stay! We'd also like to note that if Uncle Matt had been in charge, you would've been allowed to stay up to watch the rest of Cinderella.

Quite a few years back, Sports Illustrated had a decent-sized article on tennis semi-phenom (she still hasn't won a tournament) Anna Kournikova. Anna Kournikova is very pretty.

National Review's Andrew McCarthy has a must-read article on the implications of the Supreme Court's Hamdan ruling for the FBI's terrorist surveillance program. For those of you with short attention spans, I direct you to a less-eloquent summary of the situation by yours truly.

Well, my computer's video card, a Radeon X700, started misbehaving a few weeks back, and it got worse Monday night, so yesterday I stopped by Circuit City on my way to work and picked up a new card. I popped the old card out, popped the new card in, and then had to reboot the […]

Last week, federal district judge Richard Matsch ruled that three Utah-based companies that provide PG-rated, edited versions of feature films are an "illegitimate business."
