Literacy: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

We're always celebrating one thing or another in this country -- some industry, product, cause, or way of life -- whereby Congress and the Chamber of Commerce encourages the rest of us to show our love by wearing a colored ribbon and opening our wallets. September is National Literacy Month. S

Lord Protect My Child (Death At A Party, 2)

Young And Wild . . . She was uninvited but quickly took center stage. Bolting into the restaurant, the young woman grabbed a phone and began screaming about something terrible; something minutes before inconceivable. Then she took a seat near friends of the guy she had just run over in he

"Mad Men" Barbies on the Make

Scene: A sunny morning in Manhattan. Don Draper of "Mad Men" opens the window drapes in his office at Sterling Cooper then pours two glasses of scotch from the bar on his credenza. Roger Sterling sits stiffly on the sofa in Don’s office. [caption id="attachment_8367" align="alignright" width="3

Young Adults and the Borg Collective

According to a recent survey, 83 percent of young adults sleep with their cell phones. And I thought my generation had all the best weird sex stuff. When I first read this factoid, I didn't believe it. So I asked students in my UGA class: "How many of you sleep with your cell phone?" I e

Deep Tax?

If you assume that Harry Reid knows what he is talking about, then who is "Deep Tax?" Harry Reid, the current Majority Leader in the United States Senate, is a cautious man. In fact, when it comes to standing up to the Republican machine, he is out and out timid. There could be no more unlikely s

Love Is Not All

I can't remember her face very well. It has been years since we last saw one another and we have both obviously aged so she probably doesn't look much like the young woman I had once known, anyway. But I could hear her voice still ringing lyrically in my head. "Love is not all: It is not meat no

Pigeons and poop

My Dad loved me as much as any man could love a son so he was constantly dreaming up schemes for me to make money so that I could be self-sufficient when I went to college. He was also determined to keep me out of trouble so while the other guys were “hanging out,” Daddy found ways to keep me bu

Burn Out

I have a confession to make. I burn stuff all the time. It’s a problem I’ve been dealing with since the onions were born. I love cooking – obviously – but it’s more than just a pastime. When I say I love it, I mean I want to marry it and have its babies. Then cut my palm and take

Animals Frightened at Prospect of being First Pet

It’s long been said that if you want a friend in Washington, adopt a dog. President-elect Trump does not have a pet, other than his ex-wives, but reports by a Trump consultant indicated he may be changing his mind on having a national pet. While presidents in the past have had all manner

Untold History of U.S.: The Reagan Years

The 40 page section covering the Reagan Years in Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick's book, The Untold History of the United States, provides enough documentation of chicanery, hypocrisy, doublespeak and sociopathy to confirm in spades those of us who were appalled at the time and to turn around all bu

Deadbeat dad

It was, to say the least, a shock when I found out my daughter thought I was a deadbeat. And in the process of being told I was a worthless husband and provider and that if it wasn’t for mom we would be all living in a cardboard box, I learned a valuable lesson about perception. In his book,

Did Republican U.S. Rep. Gohmert crib from liberal professor?

The first time you view the 35-minute long ‘Muslim Pirates and Ayatollahs’ speech by U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert on March 3rd it is easy to suspect that it is a spoof. If he were still with us, performance artist Andy Kaufman couldn’t have delivered a better send-up of the stereoty

A Southern Tradition—Joggling

One summer day traveling a back road with friends I made a prediction. “When we hit the town up ahead I bet we’ll see a trampoline for sale.” Sure enough as soon as we entered the town limits there it was leaning against the wall of a Western Auto. My friends broke into laughter and accused me

The Bomb Plant

Heavy Water & Heavy Times Just down the road from my boyhood home, past a small church and its small graveyard with crooked tombstones, sat a country store with crates of empty Cokes and Royal Crown Colas stacked out back. Many days I walked the roadsides picking up bottles and cashing them i

Does American Health Care Have a Terminal Illness?

It is just a matter of time until Medicare recipients are forced to wear a bell around their necks like Biblical lepers. Already, in some doctors’ offices, Medicare patients are as unwelcome as dog poo on a white Sunday shoe. Even some TV faith-healing evangelists no longer treat senior citize

Making It In The Hollywood Of The South

John Paul Marston sits at a piano surrounded by lights, cameras, microphones and about a dozen or more production crewmembers. Nervous and anxious of performing, he touches the piano’s keys. A voice yells out, “Don’t touch the keys! Just pretend to play!” Marston is relieved. Another directi

Does Aurora, NC, need a phosphate mine?

How big is the Phosphate Mine? And, where is it? Actually, what is it? I doubt many North Carolina residents who live near it could answer these questions. Well, it’s bigger than you could possibly imagine, it’s north of the tiny coastal town of Aurora near the Pamlico River, and it’s an en

Medical Magic in the Mountains

The recent Supreme Court decision regarding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act brought back memories of an experience I had in 2008. That July I volunteered for a Rural America Medical (RAM) event in Wise County, Virginia. RAM is an event organized by Stan Brock, a former television ho

If Music Be The Food Of Love ...

I lost my self-confidence in singing and playing a musical instrument early in life. I can still hear Mrs Greeley in fifth grade telling my pal Byron and me that we would not be singing in the Christmas pageant that year, since neither of us could carry a tune worth a damn. A few years later I dropp

Witness to an execution

I was witness to an execution in Georgia last week. It was an ugly, painful sight. I was returning from an errand, turning off of Riverside Drive onto Johnson Ferry Road, just south of the Chattahoochee River where Fulton and Cobb Counties bump up against one another. Traffic came to a sudden hal
