An old pair of boots are comfortable and warm like a puppy dog or an old friend. After reading this morning that schools in several states are headed to a longer, nearly year around schedule, I recalled an column I wrote years ago when Huntsville did the same thing. My perspective hasn’t changed so I […]

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 […]
The Huntsville Times Delivers A Thanksgiving Slap In The Face
Seldom have I seen such an obnoxious sign-off for loyal customers. One thing is for certain, the Huntsville Times print edition is a lame attempt to accomplish nothing more than run interference against any would be competitors who might try to step in and fill the empty space created by the three day print schedule. […]
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…
Observing Veteran’s Day
But of course, there are so many who didn’t come home, and so many who come home with enduring injuries, and so the sadness of war remains – victory or not.
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.
Shakin Bakin Debate III
The Bake The Japanese have a concept called the “one hundred years war.” Simply enough, losing a battle does not mean losing the war. When the war is a hundred years long the other wars, like WW II or Viet Nam, are only single battles in the larger scheme. A long term war requires long […]
Debate II – Ho Hum Conundrum
Rancorous maybe, but I really didn’t see the second debate as exceptional amoung debates. Obama did as expected. He sharpened focus and displayed more assertiveness. Romney was predictable as usual, flip flopping consistently. Neither offered any new information, and only reinforced their agenda in the debate. No wonder then that the media, and some of […]
Twittering The Great Debate!
I am pleased to announce, although not running as a republican (I am Independent), I will be the only conservative participating in tomorrow night’s presidential debate. That as a result of Mitt Romney once again demonstrating himself to be a liberal democrat, flippy flopping on his pledge to oppose illegal immigration. I believe I recall […]
WHERE’S MY DAMN PAPER!
Well. I don’t really react that way since I usually read the complimentary paper at the burger breakfast joint. Usually, it’s just another customer obnoxiously hogging the premium still sitting on his otherwise empty table…
