The fox, the goose, and Issue 2

DON WRIGHT ON HIS QUESTIONS
|
Perfect is easy
By Don Wright
Perfect is easy when people don’t pay attention to what you say. In my
last column I was not stating facts. I repeated what I had been told
and asked the Greenville Administration for answers. To date there has

BOB RHOADES ON HIS ANSWERS
|
Mr. Wright, My Offer Stands
By Bob Rhoades
Since I was singled out, I guess it’s OK to answer this one and not

I’ve never thought of work as supping at the public trough but I did
make a living as a public servant. Lots of people think that’s
OK... Read More. More Opinion.

Ansonia goes the distance
By George Starks
TIPP CITY - They are two teams that mirrored each other. For five
grueling sets, Ansonia and Mechanicsburg drug each other through the
gauntlet, each set like the first. A fierce battle that could go either
way. In sets that went back and forth all evening, when the smoke

CEO SALARIES? HOW ABOUT OPRAH'S?

Townhall...
Pitting Us Against Each Other
By Walter E. Williams
President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have led increasingly
successful efforts to pit Americans against one another through the
politics of hate and envy. Attacking CEO salaries, the president --
last year during his Midwest tour -- said, “I do think at a certain
point you’ve made enough money.” Let’s look at CEO salaries, but before
doing so, let’s look at other... Read More. More Blogs. |
