Well, California is at it again. The big question the good citizens of that state now face is: Spank or Not Spank? Forget illegal immigrants; high taxes; LA-area gangs that now total some 40,000 members and are responsible for the surge in homicides; smog so thick it blocks out the sun; businesses flocking to other ...

I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot better since the long-awaited, much-anticipated report by the Iraq Study Group was released the other day. Whew! Now I know what the U.S. has to do to bring peace and stability to Iraq and bring our military home.Let’s see. We have to get the Iraqis ...

Another Monday. Always a good time to look back over the past week and see how much more muddled our world has become. Let’s start off with the reelection of Hugo “Crazy” Chavez as president of Venezuela. Fidel Castro’s newest best friend easily beat his opponent and promises to continue his battle with the United ...

Thanksgiving Day and I’m getting ready to go to my girlfriend’s house for a traditional holiday dinner. For most of us across this great country of ours, we will eat too much, maybe drink more than we should, and definitely watch too much football. It’s what we might call “the good life.” And it is. ...

Took a few weeks off. Wish it was vacation time, but wasn’t. Feels good to be back. I was able to write a few columns in advance, but with blogs, it’s a little different. I was watching some ball games today, still smarting from my beloved Yankees collapse and thinking about all the money these ...

 As I look at what has happened in the past week, I’m stunned by the evil that exists on an individual basis and at the continuing stupidity of the Palestinians. Both these observations are world’s apart, as are the people I’m talking about.In the case of evil, we had a woman who takes a knife, ...

 In light of what’s been going on in our town lately, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that violent crime is on the rise in our country. After a decade of decline, the latest figures show that assault rose two percent between 2004 and 2005, and murder and robbery were up by almost five percent, ...

To torture or not to torture. That seems to be one of the key questions in the minds of politicians these days, and of course, everyone is weighing in on it, from pundits and the press to civil rights groups and anyone else the news media considers “experts”.President Bush laid out the U.S. position in ...

A baby is missing. A young woman is dead. The woman’s name Is Melinda Duckett and two weeks ago her baby was kidnapped–at least that’s what Melinda told the cops. As in any criminal investigation, police look first at those closest to the victim, in this case, the mother.No charges had been laid, the investigation ...

Our country today observes the fifth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center towers in New York and the horrendous loss of life caused at that site. As we should. Not only to mourn those fellow Americans who died there and at the crash sites in Pennsylvania and the Pentagon, but to remember ...

   Ah, that wacky Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Just a barrel of laughs. They probably don’t even need Comedy Central in Iran with him as their president. First he’s calling for the destruction of Israel. Then he’s defying the U.N. and the rest of the world on his country’s plans to go forward with their nuclear program. He ...

Elijah Page is alive today. He should have been put to death last night. Mike Rounds, governor of South Dakota, is also alive. He should be put out of office next election. The good guv decided to stay the execution of Page, only hours before the killer was supposed to take his last breath on ...

Well, well. The Hezbollah leader says that if he had known the Israelis were going to respond the way they did, he would not have given the order for his group of terrorists to go into Israel and capture two Israeli soldiers. Right, and Willie Sutton wouldn’t have robbed all those banks if he thought ...

As I watched the coverage of the Mideast conflict over the past month, and listened to the reporters and anchors, I was reminded of the old saying, "There's no such thing as a stupid question." I don’t know who is credited for saying this, but he or she must not have been watching CNN or ...

“We won!”“Did not. We won!”With more than 1,000 killed, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a terrorist organization, although hurting, still intact, is there really any winner? Like so many skirmishes, battles, wars, whatever we may want to call them, it seems whenever America is involved in any way, there is never a definitive finish.The Israelis, ...

Fidel Castro is in hospital as a result of some surgery he had to have done. Lot of secrecy surrounding his condition, but that’s to be expected. Of course, the media here has him on his deathbed. He may well be, but they, the media, certainly don’t know. In case he is, however, we are ...

     Yesterday I talked about Mel Gibson and how quickly he responded to his DUI charge and anti-Semite remarks. I said that he may be a lot of things, but he obviously isn’t stupid when it comes to damage control and manipulating the media. The same can be said for Hezbollah.  Despite the fact that this ...
