... but I am trying to figure out why everyone is in such a dither about California Congressman Gary Condit, he of the weird hairdo and frozen smile. What has he done that is so different from former president William Jefferson Clinton? Both men dallied with an intern. Both men lied about it. Both men stonewalled the press and the public. I am sure someone will argue that … [Read more...] about Aug. 27, 2001: I know there is a logical answer and I am sure somebody out there will provide it,
Aug. 20, 2001: Just when I thought there was nothing left to look forward to
but a rocking chair and Metamucil, doggone if a couple of old guys don’t pull off a major coup. The Coca-Cola Company has announced that they are bringing back 65-year-old Brian Dyson as their chief operating officer. Hurrah! Then beleaguered General Motors hires 69-year-old car designer extraordinaire Bob Lutz to put some pizzazz in their fuddy-duddy line of automobiles. … [Read more...] about Aug. 20, 2001: Just when I thought there was nothing left to look forward to

Aug. 13, 2001: Maybe it’s my age or the dog days of summer,
...or maybe I am just having a bad hair day but I am fed up with political correctness. The majority of people in this country have been intimidated and paralyzed to the point that they are afraid to say anything lest some minority group be offended. This phenomenon has occurred because special-interest groups have learned how to manipulate the media, which, in turn, … [Read more...] about Aug. 13, 2001: Maybe it’s my age or the dog days of summer,
Jul. 30, 2001: Dear Kathleen Devere Worthley, welcome to the world.
We are glad you have arrived. I thought your Mama and Daddy had outdone themselves when they created corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill on St. Simons Island, but you are without question their greatest creation. Your presence has been much anticipated. Things haven’t been going too well on the planet. I’m afraid those of us in charge have done a … [Read more...] about Jul. 30, 2001: Dear Kathleen Devere Worthley, welcome to the world.
