| How bad is it? Really bad! |
| Wednesday, September 8, 2010 |
| God has blessed me with over six decades of life on this
earth. I have witnessed economic ups and downs, wars (most were foolish),
political swings and a civil rights struggle that came out on the winning side.
You might say I am hardened and can look at challenges as something that

| Eight weeks to God |
| Wednesday, September 8, 2010 |
| In just eight weeks, voters will go to the polls in what
many see is a referendum on the economy and the policies of the Obama
administration. Republicans hope
to take at least one house of Congress, probably the Senate, and they may be

| Wednesday, August 25, 2010 |
| Dear Dr. King,
There will be a march this Saturday to commemorate the
47th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Actually,
there will be two marches, with the leaders of each claiming to be walking in
