The Moral Hypocrisy of Trump Voters Oh, my Republican friends, don’t say that I didn’t try to warn you. Way back in 2016 and again in 2020, I tried to caution you that if you disregarded all of Trump’s unabashed moral indiscretions and voted for that steaming pile of unprincipled dog manure that you would […]
Walking in Another’s Skin I’m going to start this week’s TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less with a public service warning: If you are one of the few regular viewers of the weekend morning news show, CBS Sunday Morning, make your way as soon as possible to your primary care physician and get your pulse […]
The Half-full Glass of the Pandemic Economy As I set to writing this week’s installment of TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Lessabout the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, I thought that I should ask my readers which they wanted to hear first: the good news or the bad news. For when it comes to […]
It’s Not Easy Being Green…or Black…or Native American…. I absolutely love The Muppets. Maybe I just have a thing for banjo-playing frogs, but one of my favorite childhood memories was ending weekends by gathering round the television on Sunday evenings and watching the latest episode of The Muppet Show.

What we witnessed last Wednesday was the tragic demise of American exceptionalism (if such a thing ever really existed) and the […]
To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate? I’m going to start this week’s TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less with a candid acknowledgement that my title for this week’s column represents a false dichotomy. I’m really not sure the whole vaccine debate can be summarily wrapped up into those two starkly different choices. In fact, by […]
Further Down the Rabbit Hole “‘Will you walk into my Parler?” said the Spider to the Fly.“The Spider and the Fly”, Mary Howitt, 1829 (I may have changed spelling to match the stupidity of others) So I may or may not have been having a somewhat contentious debate with a conservative friend of mine on […]
A Portlandia Utopia? Amidst all the chaos of the 2020 election, many of you probably missed a significant little happening up there in the Pacific Northwest. No, I am not talking about Antifa protests or the fact that Russell Wilson might actually garner a few MVP votes this year. I am referring to the fact […]
(No Longer) Proud to be an American Ok, this is it, I promise. After today, I will not write again about the 2020 election. I just don’t have it in me. After months of hyper-tension no doctor can alleviate and at least a few emergency sessions spent on a therapist’s couch, I, like most of […]
