Life sure is fleeting. It seemed just a few years ago I was meeting with a number of retired state leaders that have made a major impact on the Bayou State. In the center of the photo is forward governor Edwin Edwards and former lieutenant governor Jimmie Fitzmorris. You’ll see in the photo Judge Moon Landrieu, Senator Michael O’Keefe, yours truly, and other well-known state figures. Everyone in the picture except me has one thing in common now. They’ve all passed away. Make the best of your life, because it sure can go by fast.
What a week it was when it came to incompetence of numerous public facials. And it did not happen just locally. There were questionable decisions that took place in cities from coast to coast. First New Orleans, then on to California for the wildfires, and then range things happening in New York courtrooms. Not a good way to start off the new year. That’s the focus of my new column now posted. You can read it by going to the Red Flashing Box above or by Clicking Here.
It’s wonderful to look back on special people in your family. My Father was my special hero that I looked up to all my life. This week, if he were still living, he would reap the right the right old age of 110. And he certainly lived a full and active life. I just thought it was time to look back, and write down the special feelings I had for him. We all have extraordinary people in our lives, and my Dad was at the top of the list. I write about him this week’s column. You can read it by going to the Red Flashing Box above or by Clicking Here.

I’m laying up new menus to eat, getting regular check ups, and of course, working out. I’m trying to get a good start below. So Happy New Year to you. Hope you feel better too.
Is President Donald Trump throwing out another one of his wacko ideas? He just wants to go out by the nation of Greenland hey, why not go by Canada and Mexico to while he’s at it. Actually, buying Greenland is not that bad an idea. The mostly barren country could be a strong barrier for America’s national offense. I take a look at the feasibility of buying Greenland in my new column. You can read it now by going to the Red Flashing Box above, or by Clicking Here.

A vigilante shooter brings the outrageous cost of healthcare to the front burner. Ironic that it took a tragedy like this to make Americans realize how bad our healthcare problems are.
