Once again politics trumps logic and relationships. And despite my poor attempt at a pun in the headline, this one makes me sad because the person this affected is someone I care about, a wonderful young mind and individual I’ve always admired. But what hurts the most in this exchange on — you guessed it, […]
Here we go again. Take a bad regulation from something under the government’s bucket of you-know-what and try to make it smell like a rose. And no, this isn’t an attack on a county commissioner, even though the one of the same name was recently touting the topic at hand. Then again, at least there […]
Are you getting the feeling everyone thinking about the coming election is mad about something? I sure do. I realize, too, people might think the same of me … and that’s fine. I get it. Here’s why. Our loss of face-to-face communication skills due to texting, social media and all other forms of electronic communication […]
This column should be solely about the Olympics that just ended, and deservedly so. But why, you ask, do I toss in that addendum? Because in watching the Olympics and sports in general, I see so many similarities between life and sports — winning and losing, compassion and competition and taking those experiences in making […]
That’s good to know, Hillary, because the message I’m referring to shows two huge points about you: You know nothing about the global economy and have less than nothing in common with the rest of us. It also shows us one important thing about Donald Trump and his narcissism: Every time someone criticizes something about […]
Of all of the headlines that didn’t surprise me one iota over the past few weeks, only one was the absolute least surprising. No, it wasn’t one from the Democratic National Convention about giving away more and more of our tax money on vote-buying schemes. No, it wasn’t about how unquestionably corrupt Hillary Clinton is […]
As an extraordinarily overpaid columnist for the Business Times, every so often I receive a note from someone —outside of my avid seven or eight readers who send me things — who happens upon my column. Please note that when I receive reader feedback, I always take the time to actually read the comments I […]
One thing guaranteed to make things hotter in an even-numbered-year summer is that politics adds its heat to the atmosphere. Maybe we’ve found the real reason for man-made global warming — and no, I’m not endorsing that fairy tale. Because, as this column will hopefully show, the best way to cool things off is for […]
I don’t really have an answer as to who should be president — other than someone who will champion individual, inalienable, God-given rights and protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And I haven’t seen anyone like that thus far. Given our choices, I don’t blame anyone for sitting this one out or […]
You guessed it, among all the important things going on in our world — like which candidate that eventually wins the presidency will oversee the further decline of our country into the abyss of Republic failures — I will address what’s most important: Deflategate. And just as the never-ending saga of Deflategate was reintroduced into […]
