NFL Playoff Picture Just Starting To Clear
No, it's not time to snap the photo. The National Parity League must keep posing and shifting positions for several more weeks before anyone can say with certainty who the winners and losers are. But some teams are showing signs of leadership, and it's not just due to talent — the ones who make the playoffs will do so because of consistency.

Colin Powell: A Few Personal Memories
I worked at the White House back in 1987-88, when Colin Powell was President Reagan's National Security Advisor. I met Colin Powell a few times and want to add to all the praise being showered upon him. He was a total class act, completely unpretentious. He will be missed.

No Country For Old, Prejudiced Men
Today's NFL commentary will mention Jon Gruden exactly one time. Why? Two reasons: 1) I never liked Gruden as a coach or a person, and 2) there's too much fun happening in the so-called "No Fun League" to focus our attention on one individual for very long.

NFL Drama Is Just Beginning
After the first quarter of the 2021 season, absolutely nothing is settled, nothing is clear. The playoffs are never decided after four games, but in 2021, extreme parity has clouded the crystal ball even more than usual. Almost every team is a shuffle pass away from winning their division or inhabiting the cellar.

Don't Be Too Sure!
You have to love the NFL, its fans and its media types, don't you? Before September, it was a foregone conclusion that the Tampa Bay Bucs would make a return trip to the Super Bowl. After all, they brought back all their players from the championship team, right? And they bested the Cowboys in the season opener. Maybe this would be the year that a team would run the table? . . . Nah! Get real.

PETA Has Good Intentions But Poor Execution
PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is the world's largest animal rescue organization. However, while their intentions are good, PETA goes about an extreme way of promoting what they believe, some of which is simply wrong.

Peacemaking, Peacekeeping, Bullets and Ideas.
Military deployment in Africa’s trouble spots – this is getting boring after so many decades. How can peace be made and kept if people seek recourse to weapons as a last resort? In Africa and elsewhere democratic ideas are suppressed by force. It will not work.
