Once and Future Political Subject
Roy Meachum
Georgia’s Newt Gingrich made column fodder with his 1994 Contract with America, which helped him achieve the Speaker of the House of Representatives and spotted him high up on the list of presidential possible successors, next to the vice president. Ohio’s John Boehner holds the job now.

So, what is your plan?
Joe Charlebois
What will the next President of the United States do with the millions of people here illegally? Better yet, what will the next president do with those who have been here for decades and have generations of family that have been born here?

From the Heart … For A Child
Joan Marie Aquilino
As you read these words you’ll find yourself in the last few hours of Christmas Cash for Kids on WFMD 9:30AM. Tomorrow it’s all over and you can either be a part of a marvelous Frederick Tradition that reaches back 36 years…..or


The Wrong Foot Forward
Amanda Haddaway
Most government entities have some sort of ethics ordinance that is generally intended to ensure the elected officials in that area act appropriately and disclose matters that may impact their positions of power.

Kicking ’em to the curb…
Blaine R. Young
We all know about superheroes. In modern mythology they possess great powers, and generally assert their powers for the public good. And, of course, in my mind, the greatest of all superheroes was Superman.

Don’t Let the Door…….
Kevin E. Dayhoff
In an historic, extraordinary step in the proper direction for the economic future of our great country, Rep. Barney Frank (D., MA) announced Monday that he is retiring from Congress.

Prelude To A Wedding
Tom McLaughlin
Malta, Montana – Island Airways? In Montana? In Montana? This was the airline we were supposed to take from Billings to Glasgow for my daughter’s wedding. Montana just does not conjure in my mind palm trees, sandy beaches and azure seas. In fact, I don’t think there is an island anywhere in Big Sky country.

Holidays Here
Roy Meachum
The holidays flood Market Street. When Pushkin took me for a Thanksgiving stroll, there was nobody in sight. Stores were not open downtown. Few cars prowled about.

Charting Solutions To Charter School Problems
Earl 'Rocky' Mackintosh
There are creative ways in which tenants and charter school start-ups can reduce their annual rental payments by employing innovative financing and longer term leases.

Holiday Weekend “Efficiencies”
Nick Diaz
So, Thanksgiving break is over. Thursday was one of those outstanding family days, when our grown children, grandchildren, in-laws, and out-laws got together. We talked too much, ate too much, watched football too much (actually, there ain’t no such thing as too much of any of those.)

A less perfect Union
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
We don't expect a perfect Union. The Founders didn't promise perfection; they promised a structure in order to work toward a "more" perfect one. Historically, we always understood that perfection in government is a fantasy, politics is a people business. That's where the problem comes in.

On the other hand…..
Cindy A. Rose
My friend and colleague, Steve Berryman penned a recent piece in The Frederick News Post entitled "Occupy the Lazy Boy." Frankly, I'd like these protesters to Occupy Reality, a Job, a Shower, some Dignity and most of all their own Homes.

Pluses and Minuses of Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan
Michael Kurtianyk
Whatever happened to Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan? Remember that one from the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza? It’s the one where there will be a 9% business flat tax; a 9% individual flat tax; and a 9% national sales tax.

Om Misr/Mother Egypt
Roy Meachum
There is no Thanksgiving in Egypt. But with elections scheduled Monday, Cairo’s Tahrir Square was filled with noises, gunshots and tear gas and, most of all, people. The Square was not the birthplace of Arab Spring, but its best known symbol.

Football in America
Joe Charlebois
Football may not hold the title of “America’s Pastime,” but it is the strongest thread that is woven through the fabric of our American sports quilt.
