Light in the Election Tunnel
I was pondering what to say about the U.S. Presidential race now that the votes had been counted on Super Tuesday and there had been some time for the results to sink in. Then a friend sent me a link to a video of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II endorsing one of the candidates. I […]
Trumped!
Okay, I was wrong. Or maybe I was right and he changed his mind. Sometime in the past six months Donald Trump has become a serious political candidate. It is becoming increasingly likely he will win the Republican presidential nomination, making him a 50-50 choice to become the next president of the United States. How […]
Democrats and Republicans
Must be at least a week since I have mentioned Donald Trump, a week in which he has moved closer to securing the Republican nomination as candidate for the US presidency in the November election. But “The Donald” as one of his ex-wives used to refer to him is not my focus today. It’s time […]
Life On Mars
They say real estate is always a good investment; the price of land always goes up. So maybe I shouldn’t pass on the offer. From what I can see the property does have pretty much limitless potential. But investing in anything always carries with it a certain amount of risk, and I tend to be […]
Decision Day in Iowa
It is almost the beginning of the end. The true beginning of the end starts in September, around Labour Day, when the US presidential election moves into high gear with the field narrowed down to just two serious candidates. It just feels like this campaign has been going on forever; it’s been almost a year […]
He Wants My Money
I’m used to requests for money. And very good at ignoring them. My alma mater has been trying to ask me for cash for a couple of weeks now, but they haven’t managed it because I have call display on my phone and don’t answer. They don’t leave a message. I expect that soon they […]
Frankenstein’s Monster – II
With Donald Trump riding high in the polls his opponents are frequently taking a page from his playbook – they are making their arguments against his candidacy personal rather than destroying his ludicrous policy proposals. I don’t think Donald Trump is a fascist, which has certainly been suggested, though I suppose he could become one […]
Frankenstein’s Monster – I
He’s still the front-runner for the Republican Party nomination to become their candidate in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Logically he should have flamed out long ago, but Donald Trump continues to defy expectations. I will admit to being a bit surprised, not at his popularity but that the party establishment hasn’t managed to reign […]
Trump Withdrawal
I have been back from my vacation in Maine for four days. I am missing the beach and the sound of the ocean waves. I am missing the fresh seafood and the lazy days with nothing more important to do than read. But more than anything else, I am missing Donald Trump. It is not […]
The Debate
Thursday night is fireworks night in Old Orchard Beach. That meant I missed the first debate of American Republican presidential hopefuls. It was on television, but I was on the beach. The television coverage the next day and through the weekend was extensive. There are after all 17 people running (at this point) for the […]
