Huntsville’s Race For Mayor
Many of you know I ran for mayor, legitimately and officially on the ballot, in 2000 and 2004. I regret my effort fell short, largely due to limited campaign funds, and a compromised posture that really didn’t allow me to ramp up heavy duty fundraising and campaign. As you know, Loretta Spencer is embarrassing herself […]
The Gestapo’s Convenient Cover
Will Culver, also black and a former police officer, has decried the behaviour of both officers and voted against their reinstatement, while noting that the council had little choice in Brett Russell’s case because of the precedent set just a week ago in the PJ Lee case.
Uncle Fascist Wants YOU!
Recently Alabama Senator Arthur Orr followed suit with other fascist socialists to require “restrictions” on how welfare recipients can spend the money. Well, no one thinks it’s a good idea to squander money on something frivolous. But, there are several problems with the approach. To begin with, there is a process of qualification that must […]
Bane Romney Who?
As predicted, not another word about Mitt Romney’s association to the Batman Hollywood “Bane” conspiracy and James Holmes and the Aurora massacre. Romney deftly changed focus by insulting the British in regard to Olympic preparedness. The obedient media dutifully followed. The power of money unseen. And, once again, the white elephant is silently highlighted by […]
Huntsville’s Gestapo
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
All to honor Hank Williams Jr. And the release of his new country album “Old School New Rules.” Honestly, forgive me Hank, cause if I am a little bit hillbilly…
Boondoggled And Dragooned By Rahm
In the same week he
has stated on national TV that Washington is dysfunctional because he
isn’t getting enough federal tax dollars, while gang violence has made
his island city a war zone,
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. […]
