Pass the turkey, the stuffing and…
the absentee ballots?
That very well could be the new Thanksgiving tradition if you’re from New Hampshire and plan on celebrating the annual family gathering somewhere other than your own homestead.
Here in South Carolina (where we’re rounding out a few days of r’n’r), the big news this morning in political circles is […]
In my consulting career I’ve been asked to put together a goodly amount of RFPs (Requests For Proposals) on behalf of my clients. Usually they’ve got some kind of problem that needs to be resolved and they look to the best and brightest in a particular field to tell them how the problem can be solved and how […]
The other day I posted about what I perceived to be the futility of attending a CuyCo GOP Central/Executive Committee meeting to discuss a proposed party platform. My senitments were that it was already a done deal and that the folks who opposed the platform (mostly because they wanted to offer amendments, etc.) wouldn’t be […]
Tonight I should be at the RPCC platform meeting/convention, but given the limited value placed on input from the party’s rank and file members, I figured it might make more sense to work a little bit later and hit the keyboard when I got home. If somebody has an update on tonight’s RPCC meeting, please […]
If building a new convention center in Cleveland to lure a medical mart is such a wonderful way to make money for our community, why isn’t some wealthy business person or company (who got to be wealthy business people or companies based on their business acumen) telling the city, “I’ll build the convention center and […]

I got a couple of emails that arrived in the hopper last night inquiring as to my whereabouts yesterday for the Cool Cleveland dialogue session at the Cleveland Public Library regarding the potential county sales tax increase to fund a new convention center (among other things if Jimmy Dimora gets his way).

This morning as I was getting my first dose of the day’s news, I was struck by the conversation between the BBC World host Dan Damon and an on-air correspondent/expert who were discussing today’s report of the execution by the Chinese of former government official Zheng Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu was executed after being convicted for […]
“The deadliest day in recent history,” that’s what the police are calling Wednesday’s July 4th in Cleveland.
On the day after our nation’s birthday, Clevelanders were mourning instead of celebrating. All told, 12 people were involved in 5 separate incidents involving gun shots or a stabbing with over half of those 12 dying from the wounds […]
What else can I say other than occasionally, just occasionally the people who work for us actually do what they’re told. Yesterday’s failure of the shamnesty bill in the Senate (and the associated waving of the white flag by the White House on the issue) marked a victory for we the people. Then later in […]
