Journalism?

I am back from my hiatus and thought I would start off slow. I usually don’t write about this kind of stuff but I just ran across an article in The Washington Post that I must share with you folks. It is an article about John Karr and is written by Hank Stuever. Mr. Stuever [...]

I am sorry folks for the sudden disappearance. My daughter arrived last Monday from her long vacation. I took the last two days off from work to spend time with her.  We have been very busy catching up and spending quality time together.

Meet The Enemy

Since September the 11th, 2001 President Bush has been telling us that they hate us for our freedoms. However, he has never really been able to define who "they" are. He has never been able to go beyond his talking points to understand who it is that attacked us. His failure to know the shape [...]
