4th Sunday of the Year-C
In a weekly newspaper column, the editor invited seventy-five fourth and fifth graders to submit the words they most like to hear from their mother. Here are the five big winners, repeated over and over by almost all the children:
• I love you.
• Yes.
• Time to eat.
• You can go.
• You can stay up late.
Surely, there are no better-sounding words from a mother to her child than “I love you.” And … Continue reading »

SOMETHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY WRONG . . .
…when the biggest threat to an American economy is the American Congress.”. . . Senator Joe Mancin (D-WV). Mancin’s West Virginia colleague Jay Rockefeller announced he would not run for re-election in 2014. So did another five-term Democrat, Tom Harkin of Iowa, and Republican Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.
House Republicans made a practical political decision to give their colleagues in the Senate a chance to define the deficit-reduction path … Continue reading »
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISMGiven half a chance, most people in this world would like to live under a system like ours where 60 million votes are cast and counted, one person is declared our elected leader, and that person is sworn into office as our president in front of 600,000 people who brave all kinds of weather just to be present as our history is being made. This president gives an 18-minute speech, goes to lunch with … Continue reading »
WE ARE STILL UP ON THE FISCAL CLIFF
Over the weekend, I noticed that President Obama and Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and John Boehner had come to important conclusions about the tax bill they passed into law last week. The president believes they agreed to modify the expiring Bush tax rates to preserve lower rates for middle-income Americans (those below $400,000 of adjusted gross income per year) and modify the expired increases for the top income … Continue reading »
FISCAL CLIFF POSTPONED
So Vice President Biden and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell cut a last-minute deal on the “Bush Tax Cuts” and left to the newly elected Congress and President the task of changing the role of government in entitlement spending: social insurance, health care and national defense. The few national optimists left will agree that it’s the best our elected representatives could do given the mixed messages of the 2012 elections. They will point … Continue reading »
Dear friends:
I am sad to report the death yesterday of one of the VocalEssence Honorary Directors – Dave Brubeck. Dave and his quartet appeared with us twice – in February 1975 at Central Lutheran Church (with our chorus and the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony) and in April 1984 at O’Shaughnessy Auditorium (again with our chorus and orchestra).
Dave was a wonderful, generous soul – a happy person to be around. We performed several of … Continue reading »

Wolf Blitzer and CNN broke the story on Herman Cain’s latest marriage fidelity problem. Making it five at last count. Regardless of the size of Herman’s head, how can he possibly find room for what he knows that we don’t know? Plus all the things he should know as a candidate, but doesn’t? How desperate must Republican voters be to consider him presidential?
Newt has a big head too, but he’s compartmentalized the stuff we need … Continue reading »
