      All I wanted for Christmas

      I stopped all my pouting. I haven’t cried all year.* I have been good only for goodness sake. Sure, I had a long wish list. It had been eight long years since I’d even gotten a lousy lump of coal. I wrote my letters. Waited to see him in hopes of sitting in his lap.  Told him what I wanted and

      The words were so haunting that I wanted to read perhaps too much into what was written on the page so many years ago: Will no one tell me what she sings?— Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familia

      Promises Are Meant to be Kept

      I’ve had the distinct privilege of spending some time around the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® people and offices in Dallas.

      Leave it to James Carville to get people thinking. His advice this week to President Obama was to panic, fire a bunch of people and indict some of the people responsible for the financial crisis. I, respectfully, differ. This President has done his darndest to play the traditional role of cheerle

      Grace Behind the Cotton Curtain

      When I met Ernest, we courted for five months, and after we married, on February 2, 1974, in Fort Valley, GA. That was 40 years ago.   I wrote my parents in Anniston, AL.  They replied with the hardest letter that I have ever received. They knew I was gay. That was not their problem. Ernest's

      New and Improved

      Our nation was founded on a couple of overriding principles:  we don’t want to be taxed unless the rich white boys say so (democracy for property owners); and we don’t trust anyone, or any institution (especially someone not like me). Over the last couple of hundred years, these founding princi

      A new thought has come into being: “Thank God for Indiana”

      For years, you have heard people in the South say: “Thank God for Mississippi!” They meant that were it not for that state, their own state might rank 50th out of 50 states in some category. Mississippi has traditionally ranked 50th in educational attainment, family income, education and othe

      HSA stands for Health Savings Account, which is what Congress wants to substitute for the ACA to get them off the hook doing what they don’t want to do anyway — provide for the general welfare. The “general welfare” is such a plebeian assignment and never done! Privatization, here we com

      Folly part 2. Obama's War

      Parts four and five of Barbara Tuchman’s March of Folly deal with British folly leading up to and through the U.S. Revolution and U.S. folly leading up to and through the Vietnam War. The cases are, folly-wise, very similar. In both instances there were those pointing out that costs would far outw

      A Terrorist by Any Other Name...

      In 2011 a deranged terrorist overseas used a car bomb to kill eight people before proceeding to kill an additional 69 with a gun. He was not a Muslim. And while the media reported the man was a fundamentalist Christian, absolutely nothing about this individual’s demented world view resembled the p

      4 Georgians 'No' on Patriot

      I was still in mourning for Bobby “Blue” Bland, who passed in 2013, when a short while ago the house lights went down for the last time on B.B. King, too. What to do, what to do? So many of our great blues singers have made their Last Road Trip, have gone on to that Great Jam Session in t

      It all started with Mehitabel

      When I was young, I lived on MacDill Air Force Base. Our apartment backed up to a baseball field. That is where we met Mehitabel. Mehitabel was a fluffy, black cat. We would use the mowed grass to make forts, and, one day, Mehitabel arrived, hanging out in our fort and acting, for all the world, lik

      It's been difficult for me to express how I've been feeling this past week, until I read this diary which began: I am a slut. Before this week, I didn't know I was a slut. But Rush Limbaugh set me straight: I'm a slut, too. But I've known this for decades. I knew it since I first enlisted in th

      Pray for Roy Moore but for God's Sake Don't Vote for Him

      Make no mistake, the Alabama U.S. Senate election is about hate. Republican Candidate Roy Moore, the twice-elected and twice-removed Alabama Supreme Court Justice, says the race is about an attack on our Christian heritage and beliefs. An assault on the very foundations of our country. Moore says
