April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

My Hillary Problem
January 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Much to my delight, Barack Obama won in Iowa by eight points over John Edwards. The alleged front-runner, Hillary Clinton, came in third.
The results did not surprise me. Hillary represents a problem to a moderate Democrat like me. Her views on most issues match mine more than any other candidate, including Obama. She is a [...]

November 7th, 2007 · No Comments
Yes, circulation is down at most papers. Supposedly, the Internet and blogs are killing them off.
Newspaper executives are panicking and laying off reporters and editors. Florida papers are suffering too. The Orlando Sentinel has cut back and forced many into retirement. Although the Sentinel’s circulation has risen for its Sunday paper, its daily figures are [...]

Am I too old for MySpace and Facebook?
October 20th, 2007 · No Comments
At a recent family gathering, I shared that I had both a MySpace page and a Facebook page.
My nieces and nephews looked at me as if I had said Zac Ephron was “groovy.”
“That’s something college kids have!” one of my nieces said.
Of course, I pointed out that I was a “college kid” two years ago, [...]
