First time I encountered Hercules I was 12 or so. Not the Marvel Comics hero who debuted in 1964, but the unforgettable bodybuilder-turned-actor Steve Reeves in the 1958 English-dubbed Italian film, “Hercules,” the first of eight sword-and-sandal flicks he starred in over the next five years. For me it was love at first fight, and…
Last week, Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat , author of “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present,” commented that “one of the most alarming things” about “Project 2025” is the blatant admission that Donald Trump did not accomplish everything he intended to in his first administration. “They got a slow start […] so their codeword is ‘day one,’” Ben-Ghiat…
Happy Insurance Nerd Day! Yes, it’s a thing. While it may be important, there probably are not very many insurance nerds out there – except for me and a few others in Gulf and Franklin counties! Recently I have been working on a variety of insurance cases. The first is for a married couple around…
Although I receive three or more official doctor’s office blood pressure readings annually, I have procrastinated about regularly assessing my blood pressure at home. I’m sincerely striving to behave responsibly. My father died of a massive heart attack and my maternal grandmother suffered a series of ministrokes in her later years, so I know hypertension…
One of the saddest fables people comforted themselves with over the past eight years was the one about the strength of American institutions: The voters could elevate an unfit, malevolent demagogue, but our checks and balances were robust; our institutions would prevent any serious damage. Over the course of these years, one institution after another…
When it comes to the issue of debates, perception is often just as crucial as reality and substance. There is no way to codify the fact that Joe Biden’s debate performance last week was nothing short of dismal. The ferocity we witnessed at his State of the Union earlier this year was absent, although his…
Well, the first presidential debate took place. As agreed, there was no live audience. And, as it turned out, there was only one live candidate. It is shocking to Democrats, who only watch liberal legacy corporate media, that Biden is a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Their media have hidden and covered for…
Prior to Martin Luther nailing his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Germany on Oct. 31, 1517 to dispute papal power and the selling of indulgences, the Catholic Church required taxes be paid for the construction of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and St. Peter’s Church in Rome. “Robbing…
Within the past few days, our Gov. DeSantis has declared Friday, July 5, 2024 a paid holiday for state government employees. (As of this writing, federal employees do not have the fifth as a paid holiday and I have seen no word either way for Franklin County employees.) Here is my point: What kind of…
A recent news development has left some folks scandalized and others envious. (And still others grumbling, “I don’t need no stinking news developments! I’m too busy getting ready to vote!”) I’m speaking of the revelation that former New England Patriots coaching legend Bill Belichick (age 72) is dating 24-year-old beauty pageant contestant Jordon Hudson. (Please…
