WHAT DID YOU EXPECT when a reporter asked President Biden about New York Governor Cuomo’s resignation?
“He’s done a hell of a job … on everything from access to voting to infrastructure to a whole range of things. That’s why it’s so sad,” he responded.

PET ROCK OWNERS BEWARE – If you are a known owner of a collectible pet rock purchased on a whim in the 1970s, there soon may be someone knocking on your door to confiscate it.
It occurred to me as I read the story of the University of Wisconsin paying $50,000 to have a 70-ton rock, that had become known as Chamberlin Rock, removed from the campus.… read more

I recently commented on President Biden’s August 5, 2021 signing of an executive order outlining his target of 50 percent electric vehicle sales share in 2030.
The title, provided by the White House: President Biden Announces Steps to Drive American Leadership Forward on Clean Cars and Trucks (emphasis is mine) couldn’t be clearer, as the order outlines the investment in the infrastructure, manufacturing, and incentives needed to lead on electric vehicles around the world.… read more

Like me, you’re probably tired of hearing about climate change and the dire warnings for the planet.
I have been holding several articles in my stack of stuff to share with you at some point. A pathetic letter to the editor of the Arizona Republic by Michael Hawthorne of Phoenix, spurred me to write this today. … read more

While reading Peter Bergen’s piece, “The Last Days of Osama Bin Laden,” in the weekend Wall Street Journal, an account of his last days in the Pakistani compound, Bergen wrote of Bin Laden’s plans for a follow on, “bigger than that of 9/11.”
Bergen wrote of the documents recovered by our Seal team, including some 470,000 computer files from a trove of 10 hard drives, five computers and about 100 thumb drives and disks, containing thousands of pages of his private letters and secret memos. … read more

While leafing through my stack of stuff, contemplating a subject for my commentary, the word “democracy” surfaced in a number of articles I had saved for future comment.
Most of us have our own idea of what democracy means to us. Some people equate democracy with patriotism. The simple definition is “rule by the people.” … read more
