History Unfolding: Bismarck, Kissinger, and the New York Times

Yesterday the New York Times printed one of the funniest corrections that has appeared in that august paper for some time. It read: ... http://historyunfolding.blogspot.com/2011/04/bismarck-kissinger-and-new-york-times.html

...

When one reaches a certain level of eminence one's thoughts automatically become publishable. That in turn leads to temptations to which I am glad never to have been exposed. I'm glad I was taught to get my facts straight and to read the most authoritative works on subjects of interest. None of this is designed, by the way, to make any judgment about Jonathan Steinberg's book--I doubt very much that these errors originated with him.

Diary of a Disastrous March

Kevin E. Dayhoff

It’s great to see March 2011 slither away. It has been a gut wrenching month from hell for many reasons.

From Angst to Ohs

Norman M. Covert

If you have surviving Guinness and Harp, hoist a “Black and Tan” for Abner Doubleday, founder of major league baseball. Ah, “baseball!” The word exudes renewed optimism and a line of demarcation from what many consider to have been yet another winter of discontent.

Still Thinking

Tom McLaughlin

Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – I work with a British lady who teaches in the same school. To say she’s not opinioned is like saying a Tea Party person does not want to balance the budget.

The Laugh-Out Loud Miracle of Tad Janes

Roy Meachum

If you want an evening laughing your guts out, get on down to the old Francis Scott Key Hotel where M.E.T.’s Tad Janes has staged a knock-your-socks-off “Boeing Boeing.”

The Best Education Tool

Nick Diaz

If you’ve ever taken your car to a garage to be serviced, you know there are good mechanics and there are…well, bad ones. The good ones demonstrate great knowledge and skill along with great concern for the job at hand.

No Tears for These Guys

Shawn Burns

Business is good for professional sports. All 32 National Football League teams are making money during a time when the national unemployment rate is at least nine percent.

County Delegation’s Surprise Success

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

Spring is trying to squeeze its way into the weather forecast in mid-Maryland, but winter seems intent on hanging around a bit longer.

Commenting on the Comments

Steven R. Berryman

My other writing job involves scribing the Friday Op-Ed column for The Frederick News-Post. As they allow on-line commenting at the end of each column and article, anonymous feedback can be ascertained.

Star Power

Michael Kurtianyk

Last week, the great movie actress Elizabeth Taylor passed away. Though only 79, she lived a full life, and much has been made of the number of weddings: seven husbands and eight marriages (Richard Burton twice).

Friday, March 25, 2011

Elizabeth Taylor

Roy Meachum

Directly I turned on my computer Wednesday morning, I learned Elizabeth Taylor had died. I remembered a glorious conversation we had. But that’s not when last I saw her.

Still Absent After All These Years

Joe Charlebois

In his short stint in the Illinois State Senate, President Barack Obama voted “present” 129 times. As a United States senator, Mr. Obama was absent for 24% of all votes. He has made a career of being politically shrewd.

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Gray’s Juxtaposition(s)

Joan Marie Aquilino

After reading a recent article about County Commissioner David Gray’s frustrations, I was left with some frustrations of my own. I’m at a loss as to his reasoning. All of his frustrations were addressed and are contradicted by his previous statements about doing too much and not being paid well enough.

Leaving Small Business in the Dust

Amanda Haddaway

The Frederick Board of County Commissioners is currently reviewing a proposal that would give tax breaks to companies that open offices within the county, or add employees to their existing businesses. With just that initial information, most citizens would agree that the proposal sounds great.

Addressing Budget Issues

Blaine R. Young

How to Balance a Budget 101 is a course that should be required of all elected office holders when entering public service and every year of their term.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

The Ironies of War in Libya

Kevin E. Dayhoff

In the latest chapter of “What a long strange trip it’s been,” the saga of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, President Barack Obama’s nuanced approach to foreign policy – especially in the Middle East – the United States launched an air war against Libya.

History’s Balancing Act

Tom McLaughlin

Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – I really can’t understand why the United States needs a balanced budget. It has happened so rarely in our history.

Chicken Hawk Morpheus

Norman M. Covert

Move over, friend Barry. Somehow I’ve morphed to your aggregation; you would call it an awakening. It strikes me that getting involved in Libya’s internal struggles is probably a less-than-wise projection of United States power abroad. I may seek counseling for this new personal political stance.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Where’s the Mad Dog?

Roy Meachum

After French jets led the coalition in attacking Libya, neither The New York Times nor The Washington Post was able to locate Libya’s Muammar Gadhafi. And their reporters looked.

Clouding Legislative Transparency

Farrell Keough

It is likely the bill on septic systems before the Maryland General Assembly will be remanded to Summer study, but that is by no means the end of this draconian proposal. Truth be told, this is not really about septic systems per se; it is much more about promoting the ideology of Smart Growth.

“Superman” and Education Reform

Earl 'Rocky' Mackintosh

As many know, I've expressed my views here and on the MacRo Report Blog regarding my advocacy of public education reform, school choice and specifically public charter education.

Monday, March 21, 2011

Random Observations – Part Two

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

Last week, local issues took center stage here. Today, state and federal political challenges warrant some scrutiny.

On Our Spectator-In-Chief

Steven R. Berryman

Did you happen upon the presidential news conference on Friday concerning events in the Middle East, and Libya in particular? It was a classic “donut hole” presentation – up until three quarters of the way through.

What a Way to Run a Railroad

Michael Kurtianyk

In a press release dated March 4, the Frederick Board of County Commissioners announced that 15 candidates were selected to be interviewed for the new Frederick County Charter Board.

Catch and Release

The US Navy has implemented a new catch and release program in its war on terrorism. This new program targets smaller terrorist cells and fringe groups for the purposes of intelligence gathering.

Once these small groups are captured and interrogated, they are then released as seen in this Navy photo.
