THANK whomever that I went to college in the 1950s and my sons in the early '90s. When you hear some huckster talking about "consumer choice," get a hand on the wallet.
WHEN you know someone who is gay (such as a daughter, or a son), and you know they are a fully human being just like you, it does make a difference, doesn't it?
AND I sorta feel sorry for Fairness & Accuracy in Media. This outfit seems to think the national media should actually do factual news, and the fact-checking inherently involved, instead of merely entertaining us.
YES, indeed. While we're considering the alleged "racism" of a nominee, let's also not forget the ignorant racism of the current chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Charles Blow explains.
.. grew up on the family farm, received a degree from the University of Illinois, worked a summer in Montana, spent more than three years in the U.S. Army, more than three years working on an English-language newspaper in Tokyo, a year with the Voice of America, and then re-joined the local newspaper where I earlier met my wife, Janet. Retired in 2001 and now enjoy doing encaustics, collage, and cold wax and oil.
