Time savers are really time adders
So I enjoy having my life made easier as much as the next guy, especially if that next guy is Rush Limbaugh (but don’t stand too close to Rush; he needs his hands and mouth kept clear when he eats). However, I’ve been noticing that many of today's modern conveniences that have been designed to make my life easier are actually having the opposite effect.

Frustrated Republicans plan to junk up state constitution
Many Tea Party members and some Supreme Court justices love it too fervently, but the U.S. Constitution is a thing of beauty. It has served well for nearly 225 years as the key document of a diverse, complex and ever-changing nation.

Plants poke out above shallow snowpack
Thanks to some recent snows, January of 2012 will not be remembered as the January of least snowfall for the region. The big storms continue to evade us (and much of the rest of the country), but we now can look out on a snowy blanket of at least a few inches. In most sites, bare ground, seen through much of the month, is now snow-covered.

Family, faith, and community make football just a game
My daughter and I walked home from a friend’s house after the Packers’ season ended unceremoniously and convincingly last week. She was walking on air after playing with friends, and my head hung low in despair, frustration, and disappointment. Sixteen weeks of being considered the best team in the game, and it all ended in one miserable loss.

Youth on the losing end of class warfare
The last presidential campaign seemed to be about “change” and the most recent congressional election about “Obamacare.” So far, it looks like the theme of the current campaign will be “class warfare.”
