Of course this is an exaggeration, but every person running for office, promoting new legislation or defending their record, uses this reason: ? . . . for the hard-working people who deserve it!? I’d like to see their definition of ‘hard-working people.? It ain’t me! It’s not the people in my diminishing circle. Nor is […]
. . . And with that we have the problem. Now we need to turn our emphasis to a solution. There are on-going campaigns for more money for school facilities, teachers, sports palaces, etc. And while taxpayers have been pretty generous for such things, graduation rates have not soared, and in inner cities the rates […]
Hal Lee Luyah The budget balancing act that goes on in Washington this time of every year would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. Those politician balancing acts would be a sideshow, not allowed in one of the 3 rings. In the first place they say they are going to cut spending to balance […]

As a person who has had newspaper ink in my blood for 50-plus years, I’ve recently noticed a trend of reporters and editors lengthening their stories. […]
After that Tuesday we can heave a sigh of relief, and refocus on the important things on television like commercials for Viagra. I’ve had it up to here with all these commercials for adult activities! I suggest the makers of memory pills replace Viagra on the tube. And I don’t want a Ram or Silverado […]

There’s probably more than one way to reduce the flow of garbage into Michigan from Canada, thus saving more flat lands from becoming sledding hills. My off-the-cuff method would be to have a major depression. Oh, sure it would create severe hardships, but environmentalists would love it. There would be no more space takers in […]
