• Man Laws That Should be Repealed Remember those commercials in which athletes and actors sat around a table discussing questions about manhood such as whether it’s permissible to put lime in one’s beer?

• What is an American Car, Anyway? Chrysler has been sold to Fiat and GM has gone bankrupt. But the American auto industry is alive and well.

• 10 Manliest John Wayne Quotes You could do worse than John Wayne as your role model for manliness.

• Real Men: Harald Hardrada He fought in Sicily and Bulgaria, and visited Jerusalem. He married a Russian princess, and ruled as a Norwegian King. He died a thousand miles away from Byzantium and Kiev, fighting on the shores of England.

We’ve also started a sideblog, which shares a name with the title of this post, for shorter posts:
