I doubt this announcement will break any hearts, but I’ve decided to shut down this blog effective in a week or so.
My venture into the blogosphere has been very enlightening.
I had hoped the blog would be a medium to extend myself as a journalist, to explore themes [...]
My primary form of exercise is riding my busted up, cheap cruiser bike, usually from work at KITV (near Ward Avenue) to Makakilo. I love it, usually. It’s great exercise, plus you get a little extra adrenaline from the risk and more entertainment than watching “Entertainment Tonight” from [...]
Now that Barack Obama is getting closer to the nomination, he’s spending more time focusing on John McCain. Unfortunately, he started off on the wrong foot, by suggesting McCain had “lost his bearings.”
The guy who urges us all to avoid racism in the campaign, should not [...]
My posting on The Hawaii Reporter inspired some discussion about the relationship between journalism and blogging. Even though many news organizations are encouraging their reporters and editors to blog, the concept of a “journalistic blog” remains for many an oxymoron.
I consider this blog to be an [...]
I see that Malia Zimmerman, founder and editor of the Hawaii Reporter website, has won yet another award from Small Business Hawaii, which is run by Republican Senator Sam Slom.
I promise, I am not jealous, even though I once accepted the same award because Senator Slom found my reporting [...]
If you read my “Audacity of the Rope” rant from the beginning of this blog, you might be aware that I am alert to Hillary Clinton’s tendency toward total control.
Today’s Honolulu Advertiser has a picture that proves either she’s obsessive or I am paranoid. It’s an Associated Press photo [...]
State Senator Run Menor drank and drove on Saturday night. Perhaps the “Chicago” concert put him in mind of a more tolerant era, which many of us remember fondly.
Menor, however, is having trouble coming to grips with the simple reality of his behavior. Although he apologizes to his [...]
I wonder if anyone else finds this article distressing:
It’s an article from the L.A. Times, which appeared this weekend in our local paper. It says evangelical Christians who heard John McCain speak at the National Policy Council came away disappointed about his lack of depth in discussing his [...]
Had a strange sense of deja vu Wednesday, watching the council try and fail to pick a technology for fixed-guideway transit. Part of the sense that I’d seen this before was because, well, I had — the week before in an identically frustrating session…but also because I’d seen this kind [...]
I am enjoying Rush Limbaugh’s effort to influence the electoral process with what he calls “Operation Chaos.” (Where’s Maxwell Smart when you need ‘em?)
He’s encouraging Republicans to cross over to the Democratic Party long enough to mess with the Clinton-Obama battle for the Democratic Nomination. The other day I [...]
I was thrilled to receive three responses to “Can I vote on Your Road, Too?”, all of whom chewed me out to some degree.
One of the questions raised was “when has an island-wide tax ever been imposed for a single project?” Good point. I actually think imposing the excise [...]
