A merica has just had its jolting Michael Corleone moment. In the third and least successful Godfather movie, bigwig crime boss Michael Corleone, who spent years trying to get his "family" into legitimate businesses, says: " Just when I thought I was outhellip; they pull me back in." He's sucked back into the overtly criminal practices of his family's sordid past, and in the end he pays a huge price. And so it goes in the 21st century where two manifestations of the worst instinct and operative practice in American life were in full, raw,...
I spent last week at Youth and Government Youth Legislature as an appellate court justice and a member of the Press Corps. The editor-in-chief was a perky senior named Amelia. For some reason, her delegation was in the habit of sending her bad puns on the little slips of paper that eighthgrade pages ran around the Capitol delivering. You know what the terrible thing about puns is? However awful they may be, they stick in your head if there’s anything the least bit clever about them. I was p...
Or is it, Failure Breeds Success? According to historical records, horse racing was introduced to Waitsburg (or Waitsburg was introduced to horse racing, depending on how you look at it) in 1913. The town's racing campaign, held each year on the third weekend of May, has been known for most of that time as "Days of Real Sport." Horse racing had a good run in Waitsburg, and in other small towns in eastern Washington, including Dayton and Walla Walla. But by last year's 100th anniversary of DRS, the run had ended. For many reasons, it's become...
