      Way up North ... in Korea

      Here’s another reason I live in the flat woods and not the White House. If Kim Jong-il and the North Koreans started the countdown on their rocket I’d drop a daisy-cutter on the launch pad before they got to 3-2-1. Then I’d say, “Wow, man, something blew up! You guys need to be more careful

      Your Tax Dollars At Work…

      “All politics is local,” said Tip O’Neill years ago, a concept that can be paraphrased over and over. For example, Economy. Education. Religion. War. Crime. And Hunger. Particularly Hunger. Lots of political leaders have been screaming about last year’s stimulus package, claiming it accom

America has been at war there for 13 years and you would expect that after thousands of casualties and spending immense sums of our tax dollars something that could be deemed victory would have been achieved by now.

      The Senseless Saga of Don Siegelman

      The saga of Don Siegelman, the former popular democratic Governor of Alabama, who was convicted and imprisoned on largely trumped up bribery charges and whose prosecution has been, so far unsuccessfully, appealed continues to befuddle his supporters. That's because, I would argue, Siegelman having s

      On Desmond Tutu’s Retirement

      While Desmond Tutu delivered a lecture at Glenn Memorial Church at Emory University, I was in a small room in the basement setting up lights and a backdrop for the few moments I would spend with him after his talk. He greeted me warmly and sat down while he waited for me to take his photograph. H

      Almost Cut My Hair

      Almost cut my hair. It happened just the other day ... but I didn’t and I wonder why. These lyrics (and I know you can hear the melody) launch the song by the same name written and sung by David Crosby. A protest song of sorts, it arose to fame in the 1960s, a time when things changed in a hur

      Convenient Food for the Soul

      There has been a lot of conversation about soul food lately. A school system in Denver is in trouble for trying to honor Dr. Martin Luther King by serving fried chicken and collards.

      Politics as a spectator sport?

      There seem to be many Americans who view politics as a spectator sport. If you are sitting in the bleachers and your team wins, do you feel like a winner? You can drive home smiling and honking your horn. But if your team loses, then, oh wow. Are you a loser? I personally don't think so, but

      To strip a traditional Brunswick stew of its legendary ingredients, including squirrel, rabbit, and possum, is to mess with southern history. In this case, it's a good thing. Minus the critters, a stew made from slow cooked vegetables in white wine and vegetarian chicken stock, is robust but
