Americans need to change attitudes

2012-02-10T07:30:00-06:00

There’s something inherently wrong with this country’s societal standards when a mother is harassed and humiliated for breastfeeding her child in public, while any partial or complete display of the same woman’s breasts in the media or on the street for the purpose of sexual objectification would seem acceptable to many Americans, male and female alike.

Near miss on super prediction

2012-02-04T07:31:00-06:00

Let’s take a step into the past my seven faithful readers and review some predictions made in this space in early September. (Too bad it wasn’t late September and we could borrow the line “should be back in school.”)

Redistricting plans equally indefensible

2012-02-04T07:30:00-06:00

I don’t know how Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd will rule in the re-districting case.

Farewell to Gatewood

2012-01-07T07:25:00-06:00

As word spread of Gatewood Galbraith’s passing, the same phrase was heard repeatedly: “Gatewood was a colorful character.”

Computers should make records easier to get

2011-12-31T07:30:00-06:00

The digital revolution was supposed to make record-keeping easier and less costly for companies. Therefore it should make things simpler for the public or news outlets seeking open records to find them.

Resolutions for the new year

2011-12-31T07:30:00-06:00

New Year’s is the time for resolutions, a lot of which won’t last until spring.

Things to rejoice this Christmas

2011-12-24T07:12:00-06:00
