Talk about truly ‘draconian’ solutions! A couple of weeks ago, a young woman by the name of Jocelyn Nubel from NYU boldly announced a campaign to support the full funding of Planned Parenthood in the rather desultory ‘historic’ (not) budget agreement we have recently been discussing. Her solution? Have every woman participate in a ‘sex […]
The media loves to pick their candidate early on which is why Americans will more than likely get a late glimpse at someone who could become a real game changer in the race for the White House in 2012. Herman Cain, a relatively unknown political talk-show host from Atlanta is slowly becoming one of the […]
Oh, boy. Here we go again. The latest CRVA scandal has reached the all-too-familiar stage where we now hear our elected representatives start to publicly proclaim how “unsatisfied” they are or how they’re going to “give this a hard look” and demand some “answers.” We’ve been down this road before with so many past scandals […]
If the United States had fought the Second World War as we have the “war on terror” we would now speak German east of the Mississippi River and Japanese west of it. Thank God Americans weren’t concerned about offending the sensibilities of Hitler and Hirohito in 1942. The World War II generation put this country […]
We can all rest easier about the second deficit-reduction proposal President Obama has offered us. Not because his proposal will reduce the debt America is accumulating at a faster clip than anytime else in her history. No, no. The justification for our bliss is that the President’s proposal has won the endorsement of Charlotte Mayor […]
This comes from the truly rationally disturbed and troubled file.

Progressives accuse Tea Party activists of being radical right. Tea Partiers accuse Progressives of being destructive of our society and economy. It occurs to me there is not so much difference between the two and they ought to join forces. It seems the Tea Parties came into existence because of the overreaching of government during […]
Some years ago I was without electricity, water, and phone service for about three weeks due to Hurricane Hugo. It was one of those experiences you don’t forget. I was much younger then, with teenagers in the house who chipped in to help chop up the multitude of trees we had down in the yard. […]
Former Speaker of the House Jim Black never ceases to amaze me. I still shake my head in disbelief that voters in his Southern Mecklenburg district re-elected him despite the swirl of investigation and … well… stench emanating from his office. So, today, the Charlotte Observer has some quotes from the disgraced ex-Speaker’s interview on […]
How times have changed! The United States isn’t the imperialistic, blood-for-oil war machine that it was just a few years ago. We’ve shed the “I ride alone” image and become acceptable in the world community. Every charge levied against the United States following the Iraq invasion is yesterday’s news and America can again wage a […]
