On this one, it is more about "right comment, right person, wrong time, and wrong context" than anything else. Honestly, I hated saying that impatience for action is inappropriate right now, and personally, I'm of the opinion that Rep. Wilson shou...

As soon as I read the title of this post three quotes by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. immediately came to mind. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." "Our lives begin to end the day we become...

I addressed this briefly before with the foolish hope that it wouldn't gain much momentum, but apparently the level of stupidity in today's political climate is much greater than I thought. Today, it is meriting multi-interviewee spots on MSNBC, a...

For most of my life, I watched my mother put a pretty little embroidered red rose on her coat each year. It was given to her by the Christian Mothers organization at our town's Catholic Church. I didn't understand until I was much older what the r...

President Carter's opinion on Obama or when it is best to not state the truth

Last year, when the field of Democrat candidates for the presidency thinned to Obama and Clinton, I immediately went into panic mode. "It is too soon!" kept running through my head like a manic mantra. Like Edwin Yoder - Pulitzer Prize winning columnist from the now defunct Washington Star - pointed out in his memoirs, it is never a good thing when significant social change is forced before its time. He and I are in agreement that the civil rights movement pushed the issue of racial equ… Continue

When will people realize that today, 9/11, is just another day ...

...as far as our military and homeland security personnel are concerned?

Seriously, the media (and everyone else) really needs to think about what they're doing and saying when it comes to condemning training missions, on this day in particular.

WAKE UP!!!

Now pay close attention, there may be a quiz after this:

You really think that potential terrorists will keep this day sacred for the sake of the men and women who were killed in 2001?

Sure, the USCG is learning some new lessons today. Th… Continue

Obama and Wilson - when it is time for a gentleman to stop being nice

The blogosphere and Twitterverse are still buzzing with complaints about Congressman Joe Wilson shouting out during President Obama's speech tonight. It's been observed that this situation is higher on the trends list than health care.

That alone should point out the problem, but unfortunately I doubt that it does.

As a long-time veteran of political shenanigans (often the perpetrator, if only through digging in the dirt on behalf of politicians), I am happy to say that I have never been in a… Continue

Sticking up for "Rocky Ridge", or pointing out the not-so obvious

Normally it would be a no-brainer to understand why a GOP member from Pennsylvania would be sticking up for former Governor Tom Ridge. Honestly, it would take pages to explain why this is bizarre in my case, but suffice to say that anyone who has known me since the late-nineties through 2001 would definitely catch the irony on this one.

In spite of any differences I had with the man when he was our governor, I've recently learned a new respect for him. Ridge is one of the "outside-insiders" of… Continue

In love (and hate) with Michael Moore

Countdown is on to the release of Michael Moore's next film, and yet again I'm sitting here trying to decide whether or not I'm going to blow the cash to see it. I don't tend to agree with him very much, but hate to admit that I like his style.

Simplifying the complexities of government is something I enjoy doing, and Moore tends to do just that with his films. Of course this can be a liability when it comes to dealing with most conservatives (as… Continue
