My feet and I have been friends for a very long time. Oh sure, sure, occasionally they have gotten a mind of their own and tried to go to the right when the rest of me goes left. Causing quite a stir of the senses as you can imagine. For the most part, however, the two of them and the one of me get along ending up at the same spot at the same time. There are those times, as I … [Read more...]
Mask confusion in one picture
How schizophrenic are we about the need to wear masks? One picture last week on CSPAN illustrates. Testifying before the Senate Health Committee, Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke to legislators without a mask. Dr. Rochelle Walensky followed him wearing a doubled-up N-95 mask. Remember, this was Jan. 11 – the height of the Omicron surge. So which is it? Should we model the … [Read more...]
What black people won’t say
But I will. Democrats made a mistake supporting Joseph Biden over Bernie Sanders. I forgave Mr. Biden for Clarence Thomas and a host of other sellouts to the corporate good ole boy system and voted for the president anyway -- as did Sen. Sanders. In recent decades, the bedrock of Democratic strength has always been unions, African Americans and women. Both Barack Obama … [Read more...]
Olympic memories
This week marks a very important date because it will be the culmination of the first year of the Biden presidency. I will leave it up to the individual reader to assess Biden’s long list of accomplishments. It also is the date that marks less than 14 days to the start of the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Reading about the upcoming Winter Olympic Games, caused me … [Read more...]
Frederick Commentary: Clear as mud, no joke
I have officially run out of enough serenity to accept the things I cannot change about the Joe Biden Administration. This became apparent after watching President Joe Biden’s two hour press conference marking his first tenuous year in office. Mr. Biden should not be unleashed to answer questions off the cuff – ever. He can say “let me be clear” all he wants. He can lean … [Read more...]
Dear Abby: Man’s anger begins to boil over in everyday exchanges
DEAR ABBY: I am becoming more and more irritated with people. My fuse is short and I’m prone to bursts of anger. Today I watched another driver run a red light, and I proceeded to honk my horn, lower my window and give the guy my middle finger. (Yeah, I know it was risky, but I couldn’t resist the impulse.) I am sick of people! They are, in my opinion, self-centered, … [Read more...]
Is this You? Snowmobiles and boats
This one will cause a stir. Of that I am sure. I just don’t get snowmobiles and boats. I understand the need for them depending on where you live and what your needs are to get to the store if it has snowed feet of snow or you live on an island and you need to get to the mainland. But. Yes a needed reason “but.” I can’t see having either to just have for having sake. For fun. … [Read more...]
Frederick commentary: Virus tyrants face the music
On Oct. 7, Gov. Steve Sisolak said “I’m hopeful that the worst is behind us. But you never know with variants that are coming forward. I’m not anticipating any more mandates.” That didn’t age well because along came Omicron and inside 60 days the governor who ruled like a tyrant in 2020 decreed mandatory mask wearing for all Nevadans in indoor settings in 2022. There are … [Read more...]
