Here I Come to Save the Day…Whether Women Like it or Not
Sometimes it seems Donald Trump got his worldview from Saturday morning cartoon shows. Despite what he may think, Donald is no Dudley Do-Right racing to women’s aid. And American women are no damsels in distress tied to railroad tracks waiting

Entering the World of MAD Magazine
Walking through the doors of The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts last Sunday into the halls of the MAD Magazine Exhibit was like finally standing in front of the Wailing Wall as an Orthodox Jew. I did everything short

Hair Washing Day
Yesterday morning after I showered and washed my hair I decided to take Moe out for a walk. Forgoing my usual blow drying, I chose to walk him with a head of wet hair letting the air dry it. Feeling

How the 1970 Shooting at Kent State Forever Changed Me
The sight of armed officers on our college campuses chills. Republicans who are calling for the National Guard to be sent to colleges to intervene in pro-Palestinian protests have a dim memory of what can happen when troops are

I Found Out I Can Do Something

The New York World’s Fair in 1964/1965 attracted a boatload of luminaries, but none more incredible than Fred Flintstone. Traveling all the way from prehistoric Bedrock, Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty couldn’t wait to see that showcase of mid-20th-century

Gettysburg Revisited
Like the South’s Lost Cause, so is Donald Trump’s attempt at history. Civil war buff, his assessment of Gettysburg is one for the books. Just not American History books. Even as an 8-year-old who, unlike Trump’s claims, really did
