Practitioners will say that these things just make dealing with the inner workings and operation more confusing. But isn’t the truth […]

It’s true. What’s old is new again. In reviewing one of my favorite groups from the 1960s, it became clear that the New Christy Minstrels are the voice of the sufferers of GOP Mobility malaise – the fact they cannot move forward united and with conviction. If everyone doesn’t get in the Republican wagon […]

Well either there is a fatwa on DWTS because women contestants are not properly dressed (lots of leg, etc.) or there is a nut case out there who doesn’t understand basic human psychology. Someone sent white powder along with a threatening note to the studios of the now popular program. The white powder turned out […]

It’s difficult to see that “globalization” has brought us any of the socio-economic benefits gained through effective outsourcing, joint ventures, increased contact and improved communication. It’s done a better job of almost bringing us to the brink of war. This is disheartening to the advocates of world government. Television and the internet have brought the […]

It’s happened. All of our scanning nightmares have come true. At Heathrow Airport the scan of Indian film star Shahrukh Khan was printed and distributed by staff captivated by his naked charm.. Do we laugh or cry? Personally, I laughed then cried. This is so typical of the West’s inability to effectively fight terrorism. We […]
