“60 MINUTES” REVEALS WHAT THIN SKIN COVERS 5 June 2026
Among other things, the travesty that has been unfolding at CBS’s storied and incomparable 60 Minutes, has led me to conclude this: “The thinner the skin, the more emaciated the intellect and character of the one wearing it.” Nick Bilton, the new head of 60 fired Scott Pelley because he thought the broadcast’s most respected […]
TO FRIENDS ABSENT BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 29 May 2026
In his memoir “Night”, the author Elie Weisel wrote: “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” As you read this, glasses have been, or are being raised to ensure that does not happen to Paul Douglas and James Brolan. Paul and James were killed, and correspondent Kimberly Dozier was […]
IF ONLY THE IDIOTS HAD LEARNED AN IDIOM 22 May 2026
The past week has led me to the conclusion that the world would be a lot safer and less complicated if the parents of a select few of the world’s current idiot leaders had taught them the idiom: “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander”, Change “good” to “bad:”, and even the […]
THE BRUTAL CONUNDRUM THAT IS STUPIDITY 15 May 2026
One of the most perplexing constancies of the modern world is that the stupid never realise they are and the intelligent worry too much about appearing condescending to tell them. The result is that we are at the mercy (or more properly, its antithesis) of leaders and their acolytes who are either so genuinely stupid […]
THE MURDEROUS MYTH OF MILITARY MIGHT 8 May 2026
I’ve reported on wars spurred by ideology, racism, religion, territorial claims and resources. Their common denominator was leaders who lacked the wisdom and courage to choose compromise over delusions of the triumph of arms. Cue the current Middle East imbroglio. President Donald Trump and his Pavlovian administration mouthpi.eces consistently intone that the U.S.… Read the […]
WHAT THE ZEROES IN BILLIONAIRE ADD UP TO 1 May 2026
One billionaire was added to the world every day for the past year. The interruption to fertiliser supplies due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could subtract up to 10 billion meals across the world every week. How’s that for a juxtaposition? The money number is according to Fortune magazine, the food number […]
NELSON’S CONVENIENT EYE WON’T WORK 24 April 2026
In 1801, British Admiral Lord Nelson boldly put a telescope to his blind eye to ignore an order. It spawned the phrase ”turning a blind eye”, and resulted in an epic victory. Today, what’s also known as “a Nelson eye“ is a craven act, regenerating epic disasters. While the eyes of the world have been […]
DIVINE RIGHT IS A PROBLEM NOT A PANACEA 17 April 2026
History is replete with incontrovertible evidence that nothing is more inimical to peace than self-professed true believers. So if déjà vu isn’t your favourite sensation, it’s time for even atheists to say God spare us from them. Please. Unless it’s simply a crass marketing ploy to sell more Bibles with his name on them, President […]
COSTS AND LESSONS: IRAN VS ARTEMIS 3 April 2026
The look at the dark side of the moon from Artemis II will not briefly unite humanity the way “one small step for a man” did. But it will offer a measure of the forces that have riven us from that brief awareness of what humans can accomplish. Setbacks and problems large and niggly tested […]
MENDACITY’S MALEVOLENT MESS 27 March 2026
Sir Winston Churchill avowed that “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on;” The lies, misrepresentations and fantasies Donald Trump spouts and texts, go all around the world only slightly quicker than contradictory ones follow. It is repetitively obvious that taking the man at his […]
