It’s a new year, and we’ve been trying to find new topics for our columns.
In reviewing the columns over the past few years, we wrote against racism and animal cruelty. But, there’s still racism and animal cruelty, so we’ll still have to speak out on these critical social issues.
We wrote about tolerance and the acceptance [...]

Dick Cheney has apparently been on a magical mystery media tour.
He has sought out and been interviewed by more TV journalists and talk show hosts during the past month than during the eight years he was vice president.

Reid offered Lieberman a deal to step down as chairman of the homeland security committee but take over the reins of another subcommittee, likely overseeing economic [...]

WANDERINGS, with Walter Brasch

“I haven’t been contacted by anybody — showing that the Obama campaign has good sense,” Rendell said, adding that Obama would do well to [...]

Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza.

Oh…oh…oh…and the wardrobe malfunctions! There’s another reason to watch the Superbowl?

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! My favorite day of the week. I get to be the center of attention. I get to sing all night. I get entertained by sobriety-challenged singers. AND…I get paid for the privilege! Yes, I have a semi-charmed life.
Just to give you an idea of what I [...]
