Golfing gods smile on Greensboro: Will PGA?

Carl Pettersson wasn’t the only winner at last week’s Wyndham Championship, only the most obvious.

War crimes tribunal last best hope for justice

This is the bombshell that even a gutless Congress, compliant media and apathetic electorate cannot possibly ignore. Even with less than three months before the election, the House Judiciary Committee will have no choice now but to draw up the Articles of Impeachment against them.

Not meeting the press today, thank you

Sometimes you’ve just got to save yourself. Today, Sunday, I did just that. It’s something I almost never do, but it came down to a matter of self-preservation, so I did it. I trashed a column. Got about 200 words into it and dumped that sucker in the slush file.

Obama must realize that we can handle the truth

You hear it every four years without fail. In fact, I'm not sure you can have a presidential election without both candidates droning on in clichéd fashion about how "this is the most important election of our lifetime."Blah blah de ding dong blah.

Ogi says, "Life goes on without me'

It's been a rough stretch lately. Between a summer cold that will not fade away, two yard sales, a wedding and a change of residence that took two full days and three moving-van loads (not counting the packing and never-ending unpacking), I'm a whipped puppy.

With a little help from my friends

Last Tuesday's coverage of the merciful end of the interminable primary season - and the three candidates' speeches - had the vicarious feel of being at a rock concert. McCain was the local act trying to break into the big time

All good things in all good time

Rummaging through some boxes in my garage in preparation for a yard sale, I came across an item that swept me back about 20 years. Actually, being the pack rat that I am, there were more than a few that brought back memories, but this one stood out.
