Have you ever encountered someone so brilliant and erudite that you feared making a comment in their presence for fear of appearing stupid.  In my life I have met only two persons like that, one in college and one at my old place of work. Charles Schultz expressed that feeling very well in an old […]

I always understood that the two chambers of the United States Congress control their own rules of procedure. Normally a question of Constitutionality is not involved.  This being so, why can’t leaders in the House and Senate change their rules to improve the legislative process?  For example, why not make it a rule that no […]

My son Harold told me of visiting a shop in Lake Lure, North Carolina, last week and seeing an amusing plaque.  It pictured a squirrel saying “Pardon me.  I don’t wish to disturb you, but your birdfeeder’s empty.” As one who has two very busy birdfeeders in his back yard, I thought it quite funny.

One way they achieve this is by […]

Diogenes of Athens is perhaps best known for carrying a lighted lantern in the daytime and saying that he was looking for an honest man. Pundits on every side of every issue are screaming at us with their version of the truth.  Liz Cheney tells us that Donald Trump is a threat to the republic.  […]

In the soon to be enacted so-called Inflation Reduction Act there are clauses calling for the hiring an additional 87,000 IRS agents, virtually doubling the size of that department.  Many of these new agents are to be armed. Why?  President Biden has assured us on many occasions that any new taxes being imposed will not […]

The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago was a profound shock.  I can think of no precedent in the history of the American republic.  Unless the raid exposes some truly damning and illegal activities on the part of the former President, it will do great damage to the FBI, the DOJ and the […]
