But It Won't Be Over

By Dennis E. Powell | Oct 30, 2024 at 10:10 PM

If all goes well, we’ll awaken a week from today to the ghastly thought that we’ll be listening to that voice for the next four years. I say if all goes well, because if the election is as close as the predictors say it will be — sooner or later, just by chance, they will be right — this thing could drag on for months, or it could result in instant rioting. I say that voice because no one who should be allowed to run free can stand the sound of either of the presidential candidates.

Amateur Hour Needs to End

On the Contrary: Abortion Is Everyone's Business

Last week, Vice President Harris chose Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota to be her running mate for the fall presidential election. He’s an interesting person with many fine qualities, and perhaps even some compelling issue positions, depending upon your perspective. It must be said, however, that the Vice President and Governor Walz continue to uphold their national party’s extreme views on abortion, and the right to life.

Those Weird Enough to Ignore History

By Timothy R. Butler | Aug 08, 2024 at 9:20 PM

This will be a weird election, but not in the sense of uniqueness. If anything, 2024 is a race to find out who can best ignore recent history and doom the rest of us to repeat the weirdest aspects of it.

Trump Isn’t the Savior (and Neither Is A Conviction Against Him)

By Timothy R. Butler | May 30, 2024 at 9:49 PM

I could have written this column, regardless of the outcome. Half the country has put its hopes in an all too human “savior.” Half the country has put its hopes on the defeat of that man. Today marks either a celebration or a catastrophe if one’s hopes rest on the state of President Trump. That tells more of our false hopes than anything else.

Headed to Hell, But Entertained
