I will not be a candidate for President of the United States in 2016. If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

The Write Path

Writing is like using a muscle, if you stop it atrophies. My problem as it relates to our current political environment in America is that I am not shocked by anything Trump is doing. Absent outrage over an unexpected atrocity makes it hard to crank out a regular commentary. Now, if I were being paid to produce this little plop of crap for you, I most certainly would muster the energy necessary to do so. But I'm not. What is there to say. Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump in the popular vote by 2.7 million, proving the Electoral College needs to be abolished, but I yawn. Trump has Mike Pence by his side waiting to implement a national assault on gay people and the reproductive rights of women, a Christian Jihad if you will, is Trump going to allow it? Trump has appointed a conspiracy theory nutbag, General Michael Flynn, as National Security Advisor but fortunately is nominating General James Mattis as Secretary of Defense, yes I support the waiver because he will be the san...

Sacrifice

After a lengthy absence from live performance I found my self wedged in a seat at Theater on the Square in Indianapolis. The production was "Sacrifice" , an original and first play from co-writers Marcus May and Caleb Nunez. Both have experience in short films and a life long love of the arts.

B.B.'s Big Day

You might think I didn't watch Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before Congress but you would be wrong. I'm always ready to listen even if I politically disagree with someone and I'm a C-Span junkie. The speech was a rousing saber rattling whopper which soared to great heights of political rhetoric. It had no new information or proposals of any kind other than military hostility. Prime Minister Netanyahu is never shy about suggesting the U.S. go to war and spill our blood and spend our treasure. If I were the Prime Minister of Israel I probably would be a lot like Netanyahu, in fact I would sit down and smoke a cigar with  B.B. anytime. He is not the issue. His speech was a great political campaign stump speech for the benefit of his own domestic optics. The problem is how this was done. It is the Constitutional duty of the President to receive Ambassadors and Ministers of State. A foreign potentate must not be allowed to use a joint session of our Congress to campaign f...
