Let me say this about that. Ever since I was in military school, I have been fascinated by stories of life in the armed forces. It takes a special kind of person to deal with all the physical demands of the training and the psychological stress of potentially ……….well, getting shot. After graduating from military […]
Let me say this about that. Is it possible that, in America, we have forgotten how to question some of the bull dung that is slung at us every day? Perhaps this is one of the downsides of the so-called “information age”. Too much information to comprehend, let alone question. That’s why the only two […]
Let me say this about that. You may have heard the story about Winston Churchill coming to Washington in the early days of World War II. The purpose of his trip was to request America’s help in fighting Nazi Germany. At the end of the first day’s negotiation, President Roosevelt invited Churchill to have dinner with […]

Let me say this about that. There are two kinds of people in this world — people who like to eat out at fancy restaurants and people who don’t. Count me among the “don’t” population. Eating out is for those who enjoy overpriced food, described in pretentious terms, and served at a glacial pace by surly […]
Let me say this about that. OK, you brainiacs, what do you think was man’s greatest invention? Was it the electric light? No way. How about the automobile? Nope. Some might say the airplane. Sorry. How about the cell phone? Puuull — eeeezz!! The kazoo was a better idea. The answer is easy if […]
Let me say this about that. In the U.S., we have a growing list of problems that were unheard of, even just a few decades ago.
