… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…
… That man is Sisyphus in the flesh: every time you’d pick up a used hypodermic needle or a hot dog bit there’d be ten to take their place. His attempts to clean up the area must be about as useful as giving a breath mint to Larry King to take away the smell (Larry King really is touting a new breath mint with his wife Shawn: the commercial is the funniest thing I have ever seen.) Whoever convinced Jordan to be part of the cleaning crew is wast…
…e King Holiday bill (H.R. 3345) had sixty co-sponsors. The debates on both sides of the isle were spirited to say the least.

The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
…ic Band for providing entertainment. With a sad heart I do want to mention those friends we have lost over the past few weeks. Norman Pickett, Sandy Mundy, John Connolly, Sr., and Fairborn Police Officer, David Hiles’ Father Larry Hiles. It is always sad to lose those we love, especially during the holidays. We went home after the parade and began preparation for my brother Cory and his wife’s visit. They will be in tomorrow. Just in time for…
