Not...Locals do call it the "Gauze Mahal." Not my invention.<br />Shoar's name was "Hoar" before he changed it. <br />Part of my approach to covering politics skewering the pomposity, pretension and prevarications of the political class, particularly those who exploit others <br />I have no intention of ever being boring or imitating the likes of James Reston, Arthur Krock, George F. Will, Thomas Sowell or other soporific solipsistic columnists who cowered to the controlling political and economic interests of their times.<br />My heroes include Frank Rich, Mark Twain, Tom Wicker, Will Rogers, Bill Maher and George Carlin.<br />If I made you think for yourself, how cool is that? <br />If my sense of humor is not your cup of tea, that's ok. <br />"[Some] like Offenbach and [some] like Bach. So what. So what. So what. " (From the musical, "Can-Can." :)<br />My twisted sense of humor is the result of a lifetime of observing and participating in politics, journalism, law, scholarship and activism, observing human foibles and sharing the truth in the situation. <br />But thanks for commenting, even anonymously! <br />As LBJ said before Congress after Selma, "We SHALL overcome!"Ed Slavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298486886820876739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25979735.post-59254898029347707292016-03-14T19:37:13.675-07:002016-03-14T19:37:13.675-07:00You have such awesome comments on your blog that a...You have such awesome comments on your blog that are devalued by the juvenile a/k/a name calling.
