If we could forget about the politics and see it purely as theatre, then Sarah Palin’s problem becomes obvious.
She forgets her lines.
She needs more rehearsal.
It seems obvious that she memorizes answers to certain questions and then freezes up and gets lost. But it’s live, so she

Despite the fact that his ratings were in decline, I always liked Larry King.
In fact, back in the day, when he did the radio show, I called twice.
Once, I asked Bud Collins a question about Björn Borg.
I wanted to know why Collins thought Borg never won the U.S. Open,

If a book or story or movie or speech moves me to tears, I stop and ask myself: is it that good, or could I be depressed?
Last night, the memorial service in Tucson moved me to tears. Twice. And I’m not depressed.
The first time was during the opening prayer, when

By Sam, on December 19th, 2010 I’m disappointed in our U.S. Senator from North Carolina — Kay Hagan.
Senator Kay Hagan
She voted with Republicans to keep the DREAM Act from getting a vote in the Senate, which kills the bill for now.
Even though 55 Senators wanted a vote and would have passed it, a majority is

By Sam, on December 13th, 2010 Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Two Funny Palins: Michael and Sarah
Who is funnier, Michael Palin or Sarah Palin? They aren’t related.
Both of them are great entertainers. Personally, I would have to give Michael the nod, since he did such groundbreaking work with Monty Python, has had

By Sam, on November 15th, 2010 Last night, I visited my Mom in her room at Carillon. She was sleeping (which is what she does most of the time these days) so it was a chance to watch a little TV.
Television, of course, is mostly a waste of time. But, given the circumstances, it seemed like a pretty

By Sam, on November 9th, 2010 Fifty years ago today, as the country pulled an all-nighter, waiting to see who would be the next President (Kennedy or Nixon), a young couple pulled an all nighter also, waiting to meet their new daughter (Alicia).
Alicia, my wife, was born, in California, as the votes were being counted.
It was an

By Sam, on November 7th, 2010 Before the election, the Republicans talked “jobs jobs jobs.”
No word on jobs, since the election.

Now they’re talking “health care repeal, health care repeal, health care repeal.”
I guess they want to stop it before it starts — afraid that millions of people might prefer having a doctor instead of

By Sam, on November 3rd, 2010 Candidates spent $4 billion on the mid-term elections.
What was the battle cry that won the day? “Stop spending!”
Those who said it loudest spent the most.
That is, the tea party folks talk the most about frugality, but they’re the least frugal when it comes to spending money.
Rand Paul,
