Voters deserve at least the basics from pols
I have been conditioned to not have great faith in our elected officials, but I still think that we should demand the least from them. I think the least they should do is tell the truth, though I worry about some’s ability to find it. The least they can do is stay true to the oaths they take, no matter how inconvenient it is to whichever political party they belong. Following the Constitution perhaps seems difficult to some, but there should be an expectation that they do so no less. If they cannot find a copy in Washington, D.C. I would be glad to buy them one.

When he was dying of lung cancer blamed on the chemical warfare he endured during his tours as an Army radioman in the Vietnam War, Kenny Mauck sought his solace by hunkering down for hours in his model-train room and tinkering away.
And although Rose Mauck knew that her high school sweetheart, her soul mate, her devoted husband of 42 years was perfectly fine and content surrounded by the fruits of his hobby, she just couldn’t bear to be too far away from him.

So she would settle into a comfy chair nearby and think of new designs for cookies and cakes she so often made for friends. Or she would crochet to keep both her mind and her fingers busy. But soon, she found herself assembling different patterns and paper and trying her hand at making cards.

Sudden GOP call for unity is disingenuous
Friday’s editorial cartoon and the Tom Nichols column, “Trump impeachment: No unity until his defenders repent” sums up the charge that Republicans are being disingenuous in their response to the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
The leadership of Trump and his backers in inciting the assault on the Capitol and their constant preaching that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent and the results should be overturned calls for accountability and the recognition that these actions were fraudulent at best and criminal at worst.
