Once was a time I really enjoyed college football. I’ve always liked Ohio State and Virginia, and at least in 1963, I got tremendous enjoyment out of watching Roger Staubach lead Navy to the Cotton Bowl. Navy was 9-2 that season, and oddly enough, both of its losses came in the same stadium, to SMU …
I wonder if anyone saw the irony in this. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene was recently elected to Congress. It was sort of a big deal, since Donald Trump had endorsed her and she was an outspoken member of QAnon. This week she was in Washington for freshman orientation and she complained to her followers …
It’s getting worse? Yes it is, and it’s apparently 69 days until we’re going to get any presidential leadership on it. Coronavirus infection rates, hospitalization rates and deaths are climbing and climbing fast. All this after our president said the media was just talking about Covid-19 to hurt his campaign and that once the election …
Nobody would ever call me a mountain man. The farthest above sea level I’ve ever been — not counting airplanes — is a little above 12,000 feet. I can’t claim too much credit for that, though. It was in 1988 in Rocky Mountain National Park on a paved road and I drove there in my …
This isn’t really about Donald Trump, even though the picture would lead you to believe it is. It’s about Republicans and how desperate they are to be cool, or at least to rise above being lame. The story begins in 1984, when Republicans decided that the perfect music to introduce President Reagan at his campaign …
So let’s be honest with ourselves. How successful were Democrats in the recent elections? If you saw the election as being all about whether the damage being done by Donald Trump could be stopped, you’ll probably think things went really well. And from that standpoint, they did. Quite a bit of what Trump did by …
Well, that was interesting. Under the heading of always being honest when you’re wrong with predictions, my pick of Joe Biden winning with 350 electoral votes was less than perfect. Biden has won the election, but it looks like he’s going to max out at 306, which is still 36 more than he needed to …
“This is not who we are. We’re better than this.” Wow. It looks like Joe Biden was wrong in saying that. As I write this, nearly 70 million Americans have disagreed with you by voting to re-elect Donald Trump. And while it doesn’t look like he will win, Republicans have apparently held onto the Senate …
Is it soup yet? I have had a great deal of fun the last 10 years ignoring television news.. As a career newspaperman, print journalism is the only real journalism to me. TV “newspeople” tend too much toward being male models and female pageant contestants. It annoys me just to see them. I stopped watching …
All right, it’s time to fish or cut bait. I don’t know who Henry Olsen is, other than that he writes a column that appears in the Washington Post and appears to be a little to the right of center. But he predicted the election in his column today and he picked who would win …
