Class warfare

Kathleen Parker today on “The Final Hours”.

A friend’s late-night call cast light on the undecided’s milieu. She was filling out her ballot at home and had made every choice but one. The presidential ticket.

A linen tablecloth covers the oblong table hiding long-standing stains from crayons and play-dough.

Later we have a second course of cut fruit and vegetables, raisins [...]

Halloween: Traditional observation or safe and bright?

I live in a county divided.

I’m not talking about politics, here, though it is divided along party lines too. No, I’m talking about a much more serious and deep division that shows no signs of healing.
