With the heavy emphasis on selling and buying during December, I received a most interesting email snapshot of our retail history. It was the story of how a very famous retail store came to be. It was all about watches, train stations and happenstance. But the point of the history lesson was how two young, enterprising men created a gigantic retail establishment that ultimately had stores throughout the land, and was headquartered in a magnificent skyscraper in a great midwestern American city. It was quite a story
I was perusing the various pictures in a box of family history in search of a particular one which I knew was in there, when a thought, coupled with fact and a great deal of nostalgia, struck me.

Is it true that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter?

For sure, someone out there sure doesn’t like me. I recently received my second “hate letter.”
The great H.L. Mencken wrote, “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats.”
The supposed unholy alliance between the main-line press and the politics of progressives and liberals is really quite amusing.
So this is your “Big Tent”? I've heard so much about it.
It’s time to face facts. The Republican Party is unhinged, divorced from reality and more than eager to eat their own in the pursuit of ideological purity instead of engaging in pragmatic compromise.
I’ll admit that I saw little of Casey Anthony’s trial. It was convened a great distance from home and in our home the TV isn’t on until the 5 p.m. news. So what I did see was limited to the reports on the nightly news and the occasional column in the newspaper.
The outrage and caring over the late Caylee Anthony is easy and meaningless for the same reasons: It requires no work on the part of those “involved.”
Here's a political Zen riddle for you: When is a tax cut not a tax cut and when is a tax hike not a tax hike?
