Over the years, collecting art has brought me much satisfaction. As I mentioned in a recent blog (1/6/2017), the pieces I have acquired feel like members of my family, and I am saddened to realize one day they will be sold off, piece by piece, or possibly end up in a landfill. My

Marketing Today — It’s Trickier Than Getting The Word Out
Feb 17, 2017
J. K. Rowling’s criticism of Donald Trump is raising hackles on the internet. His loyal fans, once her loyal fans, are behaving like jilted lovers and threatening to burn their Harry Potter books in retaliation. Rowling says, “Go ahead. I’ve still got your money.” (Click) Pr

Sitting Out Chaos
Feb 16, 2017
To admit these are confusing times is a statement of the obvious, like saying water is scarce in the desert. I’m confused when I read lawmakers in Mississippi are crafting legislation that will require schools, including those with primarily black attendance, to fly the Confederat

I Am A Member Of The Zebra Party
Feb 08, 2017
I’ve admitted that until the election of George W. Bush, I was a lifelong Republican of a moderate stripe. I believe in a lean government but also give strong support to social security, national disaster relief, the defense of the country and a free education for all. I’d lik

True Lies, Alternate Truth, Fake News And Diogenes
Feb 07, 2017
Donald Trump’s truth varies minute by minute. It’s like listening to Variations of a Theme of Paganini but less pleasant. Trump doesn’t seem to worry about these variations, which his critics call lies. Rather, he twists the truth, I suspect, to convince his subjects that one

Trump Lost In The Tulgey Wood While Republicans Gloat In The Trees
Feb 06, 2017
A good chunk of American voters are standing aghast as Donald Trump engages in a scorched earth presidency. While I live in a state of shock, I am convinced the Republicans are enabling him for two reasons. First, they want him responsible for the final axing of programs like Obama
