It’s been estimated that 80 million Americans traveled this week. That path over the river and through the woods must have been very heavily populated. Perhaps you were wrapped up tightly in a 4-door sleigh yourself on the way to grandmother’s house. Or maybe you were shoe-horned into an airplane seat with family members and [...]

Since the election brouhaha is all over (except for the shouting and gnashing of teeth, depending on your outlook), I thought it prudent for us to listen in on a post-mortem tete-a-tete with our friendly, well-paid, and opinionated political consultants. That requires another trip to a darkened Georgetown bistro where we find the twosome – [...]

As a public service, I’m going to devote this entire space to items that have absolutely NOTHING whatsoever, even remotely, to do with politicians, elections, or who is or will be in power in the coming months. You can thank me later. Instead, I’ve been sparing no expense in scouring news sources for some topics [...]

Did you stay up into the wee hours of Wednesday morning until the networks called the presidential race for Donald Trump? I did. I think it was sometime around 1:30 a.m. or so when he crossed over the 270 electoral vote threshold to secure the White House once again. I like elections and all the [...]

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a big week for me. First of all, I voted early for only the second time in my life. The line was about 45 minutes long from start to ballot, and I was told by one of the volunteers that was actually fast. People had been coming [...]

We’re getting close, folks. In just a little over a week, America will speak. Although many voters have already been to the polls, a lot of the electorate still waits until the first Tuesday in November to cast their ballots. And none get officially counted before that day anyhow. So, for the final time this [...]

Sure, sure, there’s an election coming up in just a few weeks. No doubt you’ve heard and seen just about all the news you care to about that. Even though Kamala and The Donald continue to dominate the media as well as the punditry of various and assorted talking heads attempting to prove they’re smarter [...]

As of this coming Tuesday, October 15th, We the People will be three weeks away from deciding who will occupy the White House for the next four years. What’s that I hear? Election Day can’t come soon enough? Really? Surely you’re enjoying listening to the total evisceration of candidates by both campaigns, political parties, and [...]

Even people with nothing more than a casual passing interest in sports probably are familiar with the name Pete Rose. Nobody in the history of Major League Baseball accumulated more hits in his career than Pete. One measure of a professional player’s greatness (and usually a sure invitation to Cooperstown as a member of the [...]

Given the contentious issue of fair ballot-counting that arose during the last couple of national elections, there are efforts being made in each state to ensure that all citizens who are eligible to vote have the opportunity to do so come November. It’s probably fair to say that one thing (maybe the only thing) the [...]
