No Choice

When Trump burst on the scene I thought it was political theater of some kind. His form of ego nourishment, whatever. The first debate would tell the tale. Surprise! He held his own, albeit clumsily and with little tact. But he wasn’t flat-footed stammering for words. Quite frankly, he pulled it off. It was we who were flat-footed and the media and political pundits. I remember thinking he might actually have a chance,...

One Geezer’s Opinion

These are the waning days of my sixth decade, so it’s official: I’m an old geezer! Never thought I’d see the day, but here I am. Where’d time go?
