“Spankie”

March 27, 2018 / David Valade / Leave a comment

I'm reminded of what transpired some twenty or so years ago.  Bill Clinton went on MTV and was interviewed by a group of young adults.  It was a sort of "town hall" forum.  A twenty-something woman asked him if he wore briefs or boxers.  He answered.  What he replied isn't all that relevant (nor do … Continue reading “Spankie”

Shifting Alliances

March 19, 2018 / David Valade / Leave a comment

I'm old enough to remember Hoover and his FBI.  The FBI that murdered Fred Hampton and harassed MLK for being, in their minds, well "uppity".  I know of the Church hearings, what they exposed about the CIA.  And I know what happened with what was stolen in the Media, PA break-ins.  And yet I find … Continue reading Shifting Alliances

The NRA is Afraid

March 11, 2018 / David Valade / Leave a comment

The statistics are hard to find, but the numbers are real. Over 30,000 people die each year by suicide. A lot of them are veterans. Many, perhaps most of the 30,000, kill themselves with guns.  Each year in this country more die via suicide than in automobile accidents. There is a reason why mental health … Continue reading The NRA is Afraid

A quote

Long ago, I made up my mind that when things were said involving only me, I would pay no attention to them, except when valid criticism was carried by which I could profit. - Eleanor Roosevelt Resist

Things I Know

March 6, 2018March 6, 2018 / David Valade / Leave a comment

Or perhaps, more appropriately, something I don't know.  I don't know who Trump (aka #asswipeinchief) will appoint as his next economic advisor.  But three things I do know: 1) it will not be me  2) He'll probably be ignored and fired soon 3) I'm probably more qualified. P.S.  No one wins a trade war.  Just … Continue reading Things I Know
