The pain of the long-term unemployed: needed but not wanted

2011-02-24
By

The phone call interrupted the quiet routine into which I have settled over the past 16 months of unemployment. Each evening rolls into the next with little to distinguish one from the other except for the prime-time television lineup. The lady asked if I would take part in a focus group looking at the...

As I filled up the vest the other day, I realized that by using my Android smart phone, I can wander around the house with almost 70 items and not look like a tinker rolling onto the ranch.

Surviving Wonderland: Using Internet to Raise Epilepsy Awareness

2010-11-22
By

When my wife was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy in 2005, the word “epilepsy” was all she heard. “My ears began to buzz and I felt as if I was going to black out,” she says.  “It was as if someone had just told me that I was possessed by demons.” Since that diagnosis,...

Memo to the White House: Embrace the 4 Cs Rule

2010-02-10
By

White House honchos and others use the term “communication failure” to explain the inability of Congress to pass healthcare legislation and other key parts of President Obama’s agenda.

Christmas, Christians, and Republicans: No crib for a bed

2009-12-21
By

Once again the nativity season brings attacks by those offended by ubiquitous displays of Christmas. This Christmas, I’m drawn to the similar ways some Christians and Republicans create opposition to their beliefs and, like the innkeepers of Bethlehem, provide no shelter for travelers. Every year brings new incidents of holiday political correctness, from removal...

2009-08-14
By

The hot and miserable August weather has moved indoors in many cities and towns across our land. Moved indoors and taken the form of recriminating rhetoric as neighbors and ideologies square off in shout fests billed as informational town hall meetings about changes to healthcare coverage and care.

By

You know it is time to take a closer look at a deal when the smarmy pitchman warns you to act now before it is too late. Unless a safe is falling on your head, it is usually a good idea to step back, take a deep breath or two, and review what is...

Memo to Obama: Laughter no substitute for leadership

2009-03-23
By

President Barack Obama’s performance on “The Tonight Show” last week prompted various friends and colleagues to discuss the question of leadership. No one came up with a definition suitable for nailing to the wall or turning into a message to scroll across the computer screen. I suggested it may be one of those things...

Cut Obama some slack, wait and listen

2008-11-06
By

The first comment I received from someone not on my television screen regarding the election of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States came via email early the day after the election. It asked simply, “Now what?” Those two words coalesced the questions facing not only our new president, but also...

Don’t underestimate race and trust in choosing a president

2008-10-21
By

When historians look back on the 2008 U.S. presidential election, they may determine race and trust were the silent and deciding factors in the surprise election of John McCain. Those same historians may also conclude Barack Obama played a significant role in his own defeat by making race an issue and by eroding the...

The question always comes up, and the answer always irritates members of my family. Their question: What do you want for Christmas? My answer: I dunno. I haven’t thought about it.
