A few thoughts on yesterday’s Super Tuesday results. Voters are throwing their support to the candidate they believe is most likely to beat Trump, placing less weight on their actual platform. In the eyes of many, Joe is the safe bet. They seem to be…

The Day After Super Tuesday

I’m tired of hearing people defend Trump by saying, “Wouldn’t it be a good thing if we had closer relations with Russia?” Russia has engaged, and continues to engage, in cyber warfare against our country. Their actions have been confirmed by all 17 of our…

Lady Gaga is a sly one. Even those who were fearful she’d turn the Super Bowl halftime show into a political statement are applauding her for keeping it upbeat and patriotic. In actuality, she trolled the bejeezus out of Donald Trump. First was the song…

A Voice From The Past

He might’ve saved New Orleans but Old Hickory was not a nice guy. Of course, we didn’t know that when we were kids, singing about the Battle of New Orleans. I can still hear the snare drum and Johnny Horton twang. Doug Kershaw did a…

I do not believe our forefathers ever envisioned the system morphing into one in which a candidate can win the popular vote by 2.6 million votes (and still counting) yet lose the election. Twice in the last 16 years our citizens have chosen one candidate via popular vote only to have our flawed electoral system anoint the loser as president.
We’ve outgrown the system as it exists today. Fix it or ditch it.

The Electoral College. Fix It Or Ditch It.

Really, America? Really?
