The day I meet an honest politician, I will most likely fall over and die. The recent water rate increase of 38% to residential customers in Deerfield Beach Florida, all except Century Village, is a prime example of politicians pussyfooting around rather than addressing the REAL issue.
Mayor Cap...

It was recently decided that the base water rate in Broward County, Florida will be increased by $15.00. Part of the reason for this increase is money loss due to water conservation. This is a joke!
The water district needs to implement better fiscal policies rather than tax responsible homeown...

The retirement of Fidel Castro as leader of Cuba should also signal the retirement of a failed foreign policy with regard to the island nation.
It is true that the changing of the guard, peaceful as it is, does not change the political system. But equally true is the fact that the US embargo aga...

As a Floridian who passes Florida Atlantic University (FAU) twice daily, my impression was the new generation of intellects are anything but. These ‘future leaders’, text while driving, backup on the interstate, hamper traffic on the interstate by making a secondary lane of the outside lane of the ...

The recent uproar in Jena, LA is indicative of how backward we still are as a country. We delude ourselves into thinking racial tensions do not exist when in fact; we are confronted by these situations daily, albeit not as drastic as in Jena. I laugh every time I hear how much the United States is...

Two days in a row I’ve passed the same bloated raccoon on the side of the road. He stayed there for four days, all puffed up by the Florida sun, before finally exploding or maybe it was one of the posh developers Mercedes Benz that ran over him. Either way, he was not the only grizzly sight on Hil...

The recent upheaval in Boston over lighted signs of a cartoon character shows how foolish and scared we have become. Authorities today seem to think terrorism is NEW and we must sacrifice all freedoms, even a good laugh, in the name of longer boring lives, in a box, fearing our shadows.

After watching the recent fiasco in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, I thought with 100% certainty that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) could not possibly get it wrong, if given a second opportunity. I could not have been more wrong.
Here I am in Florida, one month after K...

It is proven that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. It seems that GW failed to get any of the memos, publishing and writings on this fact. In his recent speech, GW started out defending the Iraqi war by citing when we were attacked on 9-11. I think this is insulting to the citizens. Linking our ...

“I want to thank you for everything and I like you.” Think this is a line from the Bold and the Beautiful or some other soap opera? Think again. This was what the Iraq soldier said in a televised ‘conversation’ with our President GWB. A conversation is supposed to be a spoken exchange of ideas, ...
