Growing up and living in Huntsville I’ve always heard it said: The police department is a Gestapo. For the most part, I just figured someone who done something wrong and got caught had become disgruntled. Over the years, however, I have slowly, sadly, and surely come to another conclusion. That’s based on a couple of […]

CRAP! Mitt Romney’s “Bane Capital”
(Whatever happened to the Hollywood movie “911” released a few months before 911?) Yesterday, and a few days before, the character “Bane” in the new Batman movie was scrutinized by news media as a deliberate reference by Hollywood – Warner Brothers, to Romney’s Bain Capital. Today, in the wake of the massacre in Aurora Colorado, […]
The News Yesterday About Today
Did you know Huntsvillian? When you picked up this Tuesday morning’s hardcopy of the Huntsville Times, it was printed in Birmingham and shipped to Huntsville overnight! This new reality was announced yesterday in the Huntsville Times and in the wake of the announcement a few weeks ago that publication of the Times will go to […]
Roy Moore Leading The Blind Astray
Today’s newspaper reports that Roy Moore, (previously) Alabama’s “Ten Commandments” Supreme Court Chief justice is following in my footsteps declaring his approbation for and the virtues of the United States Constitution. His biggest concern is his perception that the states should have more authority than now afforded by the federal government. He is the Republican […]
Obama Get Out Of The Truck

PUFF! The Wizard Of Journalism
Wow. There are times in my challenged way of life that I stop and think how extraordinarily lucky I am to be a journalist at this time. I am not a newspaper man. I most certainly am not the Editor & Publisher of the Daily Oxymoron. An oxymoron unto itself, but all things in context. […]

SNAFUs And Views
Glad you stopped in to visit. I read in TIME magazine today that the average American eats about 70 hot dogs each year. Seems like a lot to me. I think some kid somewhere has been gettin some of mine. Whew! As you can see, I ran into some technical difficulties and had to reload […]
DEATH OF A NATION
There was a reason why it was called “Independence Day,” aka the 4th of July. In the beginning, the American colonies got together and decided they didn’t much care for the oppressive tyranny of the English Crown and King George. Thousands of American soldiers sacrificed their lives so that we might live independently. And, incidentally, […]

John Roberts Is Dangerous
This is a column I published about John Roberts in 2009. This man is the real deal. He’s done real damage. He is dangerous. He must be impeached…that is what the Republicans should be saying…they aren’t…because he is their idea to begin with. 2009.04.23 — Editorial Impeach John Roberts And The Supreme Court The Supreme […]
