The Political Conversation

The Political Conversation

I must admit that the content of this election is far richer than I recall seeing in a long time and if anyone deserves the credit for that it would have to be Donald Trump. Mind you, I’m not endorsing him, nor am I suggesting that I like the man as...

The Popularity of Hate Speech

The Popularity of Hate Speech

It’s not much of a surprise that Donald Thrump is attracting quite a few followers and is seeing his popularity numbers soar. Throughout history the person that dares to say what others are thinking but won’t say, becomes quite popular, even revered...

The Great Divide

The Great Divide

As the country continues to deal with the grief, anger, and disgust of a lone gunman that shot down 9 members of a prayer group, the discussion of one of the more dominant symbols of a long ago era of enslavement and bigotry remains under attack. Th...

Rand Rants

Rand Rants

The honorable Senator from Kentucky seems to have caught lightning in a bottle and caught the attention of many outside of the US as well. I certainly must admit that I was not a “fan” until recently and am a little bit impressed that we actually ha...

Therere Back

There’re Back!

Awwww …. One of my most favorite signs of spring is upon us … the hummingbirds arrived this morning at the feeders and are busy about getting stocked back up on their sugar water. I was starting to get a bit concerned since they usually would arrive...

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

As time marches on and another Memorial day is upon us, those of us that have served our country are reminded of so many that never returned home as they left. We celebrate with cook outs, parades, many memorials and wishes of thanks and appreciatio...

Elder Orphans

Elder Orphans

It was the actions of an 80+ year old man that has attracted the attention of many and coined a new word in our society, the elder-orphan. The poor fellow was widowed several years ago, has no living family, friends or anyone around him that helps o...

A Cure

A Cure

For over fifty years this country has been at war. War against one of the most persistent enemies that we have ever encountered. Cancer. Cyctoblasmosis is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer that exists. The tumors can double in size in as...

International Pi Day Century Wide

International Pi Day (Century Wide)

Nope, not a misspelling at all. Today is the one day of this century where the date equals pi. 31415 or March 14, 2015. OK, OK, OK …. Maybe not so significant in this day of high technology of laptop this and hard drive that, not to mention all th...

Those Slippery Clintons

Those Slippery Clintons

While I am and continue to be a Republican, I must admit a certain admiration for the former president. At his worst has proven to be better than a number of presidents could be at their best. Even in disgrace he managed to do some with a measure o...

The Case of Brian Williams

The Case of Brian Williams

As most people may have heard, Brian Williams was suspended today from NBC News for a period of 6 months without pay. In all practicality, he probably will not return and if he does, his ability as a newsman will certainly be grossly affected. Afte...

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time

As I have said on many occasions, I’m not a big fan of this administration or this president; but I do pay attention to what he does, what he says, and how he performs. Love him or hate him, you have to admit one small point of admiration … he does...

Vaccine Debate

Vaccine Debate

Like most issues in America, this one will have many people on both sides of the debate, but here is one where compromise is possible even though neither side is going to be entirely happy. I can still remember as a very young child, my parents with...

Justice

Justice

The concept of justice is one of philosophical thought and discussion. It is a concept that is based on many different points of view including appropriate moral correctness based upon equality, religion, ethics, rationality and fairness enveloped i...

Calling A Spade A Spade

Calling A Spade A Spade

We Americans take our first amendment for granted on a daily basis. Anytime anyone criticizes our comments or opinions, we are quick to claim the right of free speech, but rarely do we consider just how valuable it really is and what that right migh...

More Bad Ideas

More Bad Ideas

As was illustrated in Missouri and verified in New York as well as across the country, the practice of allowing critical civil servants the right to organize can indeed have it’s drawbacks. Of course, the security of those civil service jobs has als...

Cuba

Cuba!

I, for one, am certainly not an Obama fan, particularly after the discovery of how he sold us all down the river with Obamacare. But perhaps the old saying “even a blind pig finds a potato in the snow once in awhile” might be the most fitting, I thi...

The Test of Time

The Test of Time

Looks like it’s time again for Americans to experience another one of the big economic swings that pops up every now and then. Great celebrations over gas prices that have dropped under $3 and in 13 states under $2 a gallon. Just in time for Christ...

Discipline

Discipline

I have been fascinated by a series presented by CBS News recently that showed a special camp, run by the California National Guard that is used to take high school drop outs with disciplinary problems but potential and help them get their lives back...

Good Common Sense

Good Common Sense

That phrase was drilled into us as kids. Things just had to make good common sense or you didn’t do it. Of course, that occasionally tripped up the old man but honestly, it’s been a good rule to live by and while it’s cost me a few jobs over the ye...
