The NFL Labor dispute is really aggravating.  Such a labor dispute might be none of our business – except we the public are heavily invested in the NFL.  There are times in our history when labor disputes have so directly impacted the public at large that our government has been forced to intervene.  Think of […]

Iraq in Context – April 8, 2008

I am listening at this moment to the Senate hearings featuring testimony by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker.  These are impressive men who are in a tough spot.  They believe in their mission.  They testify that their work is not only effective but also necessary to improving American security.  But this: Even if what they […]

Dad, Have you seen Michael Jackson lately? Do you know what he is doing? Have you seen his new look? Me neither. Michael Jackson has a new public personality – he is absent. After a lifetime of fame like the world has never seen and a face that has appeared more times on tabloids and […]
