While interviewing political candidates prior to issuing endorsements, I often ask how they will feel when (not if) I am critical of them on the Opinion page.
Their answer to that singular question almost always sways me one way or the other.
Before the late Robin Wentworth came into my life, there was only one real hero for me.
One man above all exemplified what men ought to be – President George Herbert Walker Bush.
I first wrote to him in November 1992 – the week after he lost his re-election bid to Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas.
I apologize; it’s been a little longer than usual since my last post. That wasn’t by design; life just got in the way. Anyhoo, you’d think with all the money they’re paying me that I’d have something ready to each week.
(Just kidding, DG.)
When I was growing up, I loved to play soccer. It just so happened that Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker and I were on a State Championship-winning soccer team based out of the Jaycee Soccer Complex in Meridian.
The year we won the Under-12 state championship was actually the same year as World Cup ‘94, which took place in the USA.
With the runoffs last week, the 2018 mid-term elections finally came to an end for Mississippians.
I would say thank God, but with name calling, smear tactics, and general lack of class by both parties, I am confident God had little to do with the election or lately, with American politics in general.
Veterans deserve better from Trump
