I am politically left of center, tempered by respect for some of the thought on the right. It's the partisan intransigence I have opposition to and always try to frame my commentary from a thoughtful rather than outraged point of view. God knows there is enough to be outraged about, but that doesn't serve a useful purpose. We need coming together, not further distance.
I'm not young, having lived in portions of eight decades, but it gives me a sense of perspective, having experienced a goodly part of our history. I was there before TV, there when Wall Street gave sound advice, there when we knew our neighbors and banks were local. Many of my readers were alive and working before the internet, Wal-Mart and McDonalds--but damned few personally remember FDR, Truman and Eisenhower.
It's been a wonderful experience, but I have never had reason to fear for the future of my nation and I'm very deeply concerned at the moment. Essentially a novelist, I felt the Clinton impeachment and Bush administration left me little choice but to set aside fiction and speak out publicly. That's not a choice I regret, but I am sad for the circumstances that require it.

CHRYSLER--A LIKEABLE ROUNDHEELS--WILL SELL ITSELF TO ANYONE SHARE
What a grand old business the management in Detroit has managed to muck up. Oldsmobile, Packard, Studebaker, Hudson, LaSalle and the venerable old badge, Duesenberg--all gone to the collector's.

BAILING OUT WOODEN ARROWS WITH WOODEN NICKELS SHARE
In case you missed the point of the failure in the House of Representatives to pass Hank Paulson's giveaway to his former partners in crime over at Goldman Sachs, it was to provide political cover for the coming election, while allowing the Senate to unashamedly lard the legislation.
