By John Matonich My wife is a pretty private person. She typically doesn’t share anything personal with anyone even her family at times. Because of that, if you see her, please don’t mention this article to her as I could be in trouble. I can’t resist writing this one because, … [Read more...]
It’s Auchtoon time: Here’s the main reason Trump shouldn’t get your vote
Cartoon and text by John Auchter Like most of us, I've pretty much run out of things to say about the election. Any thoughts — from salient points to outraged rants — have been expressed. I see many (cartoonists, commentators, Facebook posters) are settling now for "wow, what … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the November 2nd edition
Come Heller high water … How much do we want this over? Google searches for “where do I vote early?” are at an all-time high. I’ll bet another all-time high was, “How do I move to Canada?” By the way, who says Canada wants us? Maybe they view us like Trump views Mexicans. … [Read more...]
Trick or treating, 2016 style
Ding, dong … “Trick or treat!” “Hello, little boy. My, aren’t you dressed up fancy – blue suit, red tie, wingtips. Are you supposed to be a businessman like you’re daddy, maybe? How cute!” “You only think so because you’re a loser.” “Excuse me?” “And not just a … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: My taste for news has up and left me
By John Matonich When I was growing up, whether we knew it or not, there were a number of traditions in our house. Supper was at 4:30 p.m. Not dinner, that was at 11:30 a.m. We all sat at the kitchen table together. There weren’t any trays in front of the TV and while there … [Read more...]
It’s Auchtoon time: Vote my way or the highway
Cartoon & text by John Auchter In the spirit of today's cartoon, allow me to tell you some things that you already know: That brother-in-law prolifically posting those unbelievably inaccurate memes from organizations like "FreedomPatriotAmericaLibertyNews"? Your … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the October 26th edition
Come Heller high water … The good news: The presidential campaign will be over in two weeks. The bad news: The next one starts a few seconds later. This has to stop, doesn’t it? I just saw on CNN that the campaign started 19 months ago when Ted Cruz declared his … [Read more...]
The Heller Poll: Do you believe the polls?
So, OK, this question is essentially a poll about polls, and I'll confess right up front: I think most of them are hogwash. Unless of course they favor my political candidate or point of view. Then they're spot on, man! But I'm curious what you think: Are they accurate? And if … [Read more...]
Sick of the Dems and Republicans? Join the Rest of Us
A few years ago, I jokingly suggested what we need in America is a third major political party called “The Rest of Us.” After this long presidential campaign – which has resembled a drunken family Thanksgiving argument more than anything else - I’m not joking anymore. I’m … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ da Situation: Camp life is the good life
One of the advantages of moving back home to Bessemer is that I get to go to camp about every weekend. I was able to spend time there occasionally when I live below da bridge, but because it was for just a short weekend, it wasn’t nearly as relaxed as it is now. Before I go … [Read more...]
