This is one of the first jokes I ever learned when I was a kid and its lesson is one I never forgot. It’s all about delivering bad news.
A man is house sitting for his brother — feeding the cat, getting the mail, etc. The brother calls to check in. “I’m sorry,” says the man, [...]

Today is the beginning of a new day in American history. We have elected our first African-American President. This is both a long and short road ended. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln just under 150 years ago while Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted in this lifetime. Even those who [...]

This week, and it’s only Tuesday, has been a right mess. I almost don’t know where to begin. Today’s topics range from the bailout to the debate to the President to oh, God, I don’t know what else. It’s like me cleaning out my closet. I take one look inside and call for Chris’ aide [...]

It is also the apt name of the golf course in Louisville, Kentucky that hosted the 37th Ryder Cup. For 4 days, I was in Kentucky watching the Ryder Cup as a guest of the hospitable Scottish [...]

Crikey. Is it Tuesday again already? Time really does fly when you’re havin’ fun. Tomorrow, I head down to Louisville as the Scottish Government’s guest to attend the Ryder Cup. I am looking forward to it. I will try to post while I’m there but it will be spotty. I can hear the USA chants [...]

No politics today but rather we take a quick look at the politics of responsibility. Watch this short video of Craig Ferguson. Ferguson, originally from Glasgow, Scotland, is a newly minted citizen of the United States. It didn’t take him long to figure things out. There’s a great lesson here. Pass it along to your [...]
