Reality Check
We Remember, but only when it’s Politically Correct
I read an article here about how a city erected a veteran memorial that had a cross in it. That city is now being sued. I read another article here about a small town football team that wanted to wear the names of servicemen killed in action on its jerseys. They were denied by the […]
Interesting . . . .
Fox News’ psychiatrist and columnist Dr. Keith Ablow has written an interesting article today. If you’re interested, you can read it here. Yeah, it’s about Brian Williams and his apparent very public “liberties” with the truth. But I’ll be damned if I didn’t think of a few others we all “know and love” when I […]
Yeah, This IS Getting Interesting
Remember that IRS scandal? You know, where the IRS was blatantly playing politics with nonprofit group applications for tax-exempt status – slow-rolling those from conservative groups, and fast-tracking those from liberal groups?

“Previews of Coming Attractions”
People wonder just how bad the Ebola outbreak could get. Well, with a bit of understanding of the relevant mechanisms, knowledge of the math involved, and a spreadsheet, putting together a “quick and dirty” approximate model for the spread of that disease is relatively easy. What it shows may be somewhat hard to swallow. And […]
Talk About Bad Timing
Headline from the cover of the issue of Dallas Weekly magazine released on 25 September: “Taste of Africa Comes to Dallas” Seriously. Yeah, the timing on that one . . . kinda sucks. They obviously didn’t have a working crystal ball.
Fifty Years Ago Yesterday
