Will the Real Barack Obama Please Stand Up?

Many years ago, there was a television program called “To Tell the Truth.” Three challengers were introduced, all claiming to be the central character. The announcer typically asked the challengers, who stood side by side, “What is your name, please?” Each challenger then stated, “My name is [central character’s name].” The host then read aloud […]

TOLERANCE IS NOW A ONE-WAY STREET

Debate.  According to my dictionary, it means to deliberate, consider, to engage in argument by discussing opposing points, to engage in a formal discussion or argument. Bottom line.  There has to be opposing viewpoints in order to have a debate otherwise you have a one-sided conversation. Well, apparently, officials in the Shawano School District is […]

LIFE CAN BE HARD – WHY MAKE IT EASY FOR CRIMINALS?

I may not have a Ph.D. from Harvard, but I like to think that I have common sense.  Like Jim Croce once sang, “You don’t spit in the wind, you don’t tug on Superman’s cape, and you don’t mess around with Jim.”  Words to live by. Unfortunately, there are those that live here in the […]

Judge Judy: “$70K Right Down the Sewer”

Here’s a perfect example why I want to be Judge Judy when I grow up.  “Know what I’m sayin’?”

F.A.Q. ABOUT DRUGS by Dr. Brian Russell

As many of you know, I’ve practiced law in the area of child abuse and neglect for over twenty years, on both the trial and appellate levels.  Based on my experience, I would say at least 70% of all cases involved the abuse of drugs. Last week, I saw Dr. Brian Russell, a psychologist and […]

ANOTHER DEAL WITH THE DEVIL – WHAT DID THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EXPECT?

A lot has been written recently about the Obama Administration and the controversy with the Catholic Church.  The mandate in Obamacare requires all employers to provide birth control to their employees as well as abortifacients – the morning-after pills that can contribute to the abortion of a fertilized egg.  Obviously, the Catholic Church’s teachings oppose […]

EVERY INJURY SHOULDN’T RESULT IN A LAWSUIT – BUT THAT’S JUST ME

In my opinion, fifty-eight year old, Gayane Zokhrabov, has too much time on her hands.  Or maybe her lawyer does.  I’m not sure.  You decide which one is the bonehead.  You might decide neither. At the same time Zokhrabov was waiting for a commuter train, 18-year old Hiroyuki Joho decided to cross the tracks but […]

Down the Drain

Well, I guess there’s still more problems with the Fisker automobile company.  I’ve written about Fisker before. Our government is hellbent on shoving “green” technology down our throats whether we like it or not.    In my opinion, the Fisker automobile is yet another one of those ventures which will turn out to be a debacle […]

I See Dumb People

Last month, I read that a Seattle woman complained to the Lake City branch librarian that a man was watching hard-core porn on the library’s computer, with the screen facing toward the room.  Another woman at the Greenwood branch, complained that while she was looking for “puppy books” with her children, she saw a man […]

ABORTION AND POLITICS

I recently read a article by Marcia Pally, author of The New Evangelicals: Expanding the Vision of the Common Good,” in which she discussed abortion and politics.  Although she opines that evangelical opposition to abortion is firm, the evangelical vote is not fixed and many evangelicals were happy with Democrat wins.  Since the mid-term elections, […]
