mark.young@manateeherald.com I admit that I wonder from time to time in the midst of today’s global insanity if we are nearing the end of days. “The end is near,” has been a warning cry dating back to the beginning of recorded history. There was even a doomsday prediction involving a hen in 1806 where the…
The silly political season has arrived as various political figures begin jockeying for the chance to occupy the Oval Office for 4 years. Bill Clinton once said of the White House: “I don’t know if it’s the finest public housing in America or the crown jewel of the American penal system.” No matter how much…
