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 …
I was paging through Facebook this afternoon when I saw some goober was predicting a 91 percent likelihood that Donald Trump would be re-elected. He said Trump would win the Electoral College by 362-176 and would carry New York and Hawaii, two of the most solidly blue states in the country. At first I thought …
I have a feeling the next five days are going to last about five months. Actually, they’ll just seem that way, and once they’re over, the next 78 days may last 78 years. If you haven’t been following closely, five days is the gap between now and election day and the 78 days after that …
I’m not sure I can remember an election where more people seemed terrified at the thought of the potential outcome. I’m not talking about Republicans here. They always seem — or at least pretend to be — frightened at the thought of some crazy Marxist becoming president and destroying everything good about America. They seem …
“I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions, but … laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. “As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change …
I was born in a time when women were little more than their husbands’ property. I don’t need to go into the history of the women’s movement, but it ought to be fairly shocking that American women couldn’t get credit in their own names until 1974. They have consistently been paid less than men for …
I wish I could understand why so many people seem to believe in the most bizarre conspiracy theories. My closest friend introduced me to the first major one of our lifetime, the “Who killed JFK?” conspiracy that started in the late ’60s and is pretty much still around. Dozens if not hundreds of books have …
I wrote the following manifesto more than 13 years ago, with the help of a dozen or so other contributors in the search for a political party that could find a middle ground between Democrats and Republicans.If you read it, you will see that issues that have become much more prominent since 2007 aren’t even …
“People are tired of Covid. People are tired of hearing Fauci and…all these idiots who got it wrong…This guy’s a disaster.”— Trump on Dr. Anthony Fauci “You turn on CNN, that’s all they cover: Covid, Covid, pandemic, Covid, Covid, Covid… You know why? They’re trying to talk everybody out of voting. People aren’t buying it, …
