Remembering My Friend…And One Heckuva Writer!

Ken Burger 1949-2015 When I started this blog..the premise was to periodically point out "when the news that should make sense...doesn't".

This Is Not Your Father’s Pontiff. This Pope Is Awesome!

I've said it before.  I'll say it again. I'm so proud of my native Charleston, SC.
