Tough words. Still, there’s more to Ratzinger’s retirement than old age and disgrace over sexual abuse scandals. Or is there? First I must say, I am not Catholic and never have been.

Old White Guys Reinvented
“Old White Guys” – sounds kinda racist, doesn’t it. For the record, I resent that term. Although I don’t affiliate with the Republican party, I am a white guy, but only considered old by half the population. There is much rhetoric these days about what the Republican party must do to reinvent itself to once […]
Whew! New Year’s Respite | Your comments
December (and 2012) turned out to be quite a month. Doomsday, the impending fiscal cliff,
Doomsday Fiscal Cliff Bad Lucky New Year
If you thought you dodged the Doomsday beer truck, think again. There is something now looming on the immediate horizon that that not only threatens your beer ration, but promises to sour the milk prices for your precious Wheaties – THE FISCAL CLIFF! For the record, I never believed they would make a deal. The […]
NRA President David Keene Puts The 2nd Amendment On Slippery Slope
In the wake of Sandy Hook, David Keene, President of the NRA, made an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation this morning. During the interview Bob Schieffer miopically declared that it has been shown in cultures where there are no guns, there is less gun violence. What Bob, and even Mr. Keene, failed to point […]
Sandy Hook Tipping Point Constitutional Last Straw
Make no mistake. I am grieved by the loss of the innocent children and adults in the Sandy Hook massacre. Never-the-less, there are many, many complex issues involved other than basic safety and gun control – which are NOT synonymous. The attack on “disturbed” individuals is disturbing since the profile is arbitrary to begin with, […]
Alabama Representative Mike Ball Responds To Sandy Hook Challenge
When I read this article on AL.com featuring Alabama State Representative Mike Ball’s response to the Sandy Hook massacre, I decided to send him an email. Immediately below is his glib reply and following is the original email I sent him.
USA Today Chief Editor David Callaway Stinks Like Chinese Onion
I n response to USA Today editor-in-chief David Callaway’s editorial column: Kids died in Connecticut school shooting, but not in China attack. Column: Time to take a stand on gun control Dear USA Today, That’s satire right? Or is it mind boggling socialist / communist propaganda. So, your job is done, but not really. Too […]
Homeless Deadbeats | Homeless Guru Kevin Barbieux | WHNT-19
Malice, hate, and greed never cease to amaze me. While I still am not a democrat, and consider Obama to be the inception of the communist era in the United States, I cannot comprehend republicans who denigrate and ridicule the unemployed as lazy, telling them to go to school, get out of their hammock, and […]
Onion | Petraeus Weds Broadwell | Terry Jones Officiating | Jill Kelley Asks Threesome
When I started checking references for this column I had in mind something cheeky and gratuitous. The trysts of the rich and famous bore me. Then it got juicy and even more serious than I expected – and cheeky and gratuitous…
OBAMA WINS BY A LANDSLIDE!
Bob Schieffer of CBS, an elder stalwart of American politics, declared before the election that Obama surely would not win by a landslide. I would say 332 electoral votes to 206 electoral votes is a veritable landslide unto itself, even if it doesn’t reflect the popular vote. And of course, it doesn’t. At one point […]
Obama Wins The Simmering Wrath
It isn’t the historic first term of the first black president of the United States. But, it might be considered the historic first term of a new president of a new nation.
