There’s Something about Mayors…

Are y'all aware that I really like Spartanburg's Mayor? Well, I do. And I REALLY like Charleston Mayor Joe Riley too.  I am a sucker for a good mayor. What is up with that? I figure it's because these are the folks on the ground handling the problems at the grassroots level. They can see with their own two [...]

Digging Myself Deeper

I can’t believe I’m going to do another blog entry on politics. My heart can barely handle this stuff, but I’ve been thinking a lot more about it all lately and I probably shouldn’t. I know. But, with a blog…you put yourself out there and once you do, you do. So this week I questioned [...]

Dr. Stanley Fish's column in the NY Times is excellent: All you Need is Hate  and The Hillary Haters by Jason Horowitz in the January GQ [...]

Dems Win! Dems Win!

I am very proud and pleased with the Democratic debate tonight. Yes, I know Wolf Blitzer, et. al. are disappointed that his bait was left on the hook but our candidates wanted to make sure he knew who was in control. I love me some Hillary. I love me some Barack. And I thank them [...]
