Don't bug me about being liberal

Who would have thought my boyhood fascination and handling of toads, frogs and other amphibians would predetermine my so-called liberal beliefs later in life? Some recent studies allegedly show just that. ....more>>

  • There's still time to end those wars
    Memorial Days are never joyous times, for obvious reasons. And this year, the occasion is especially dour for those of us who supported Barack Obama, not only for all the other reasons, but because we thought he was a peace candidate who would put an end to our misguided wars.
  •  Flu may be the revenge of the critters
    You know, in many ways it all comes down to the way we raise our critters for food. We should realize that the animals might come back to haunt us somehow. Now it's swine flu. Why not just call it pig flu; do they think swine makes people feel any better? And the pigs surely think they're getting a bad rap, since they got it from chickens or some other fowl.
  •  Use caution instead of credit cards
    Do you realize that now there's double-digit unemployment in this area to go along with the longtime poverty rate in double figures?
  •  School merger questions will be asked
    Now that a state commission has called on Albany to push _ if not force _ schools to merge, the fiscal crisis surely will put the merger issue on the table again during the next few years.
  •  Let's chart a new course economically
    As usual when it comes to the economy, nobody knows exactly what to do about it. This time, let's turn that to our advantage.
  •  Outwitted by a gruff Billy the goat
    She'd been checking around about getting organic, unpasteurized whole milk (you know, from the cow to you), wanting to find a source a bit closer to Oneonta. Finally, she heard back from a farmer not far away.
  •  With Bush years over, what now?
    It's hard to believe, but it's true. After eight years and dozens of these columns critical of the president, Bush finally is leaving office Tuesday.
  •  A reading list for the coming year
    Over the years, I’ve often bowed to the closing of a calendar year by offering my alternative Top 10 books of the year.
  • The holidays create a web of dangers
    I think there was a time when people in general enjoyed themselves and had fun around the holiday season. I'm not sure when it was, however, because it's been a while.
