Our most controversial election - The Cherokee Chronicle Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year is the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. It’s also the 150th anniversary of the closest America has ever come to a constitutional meltdown over the presidential succession (with the possible exception of the most recent presidential election). In light of growing concerns over interference with this year’s November election, the details of the 1876 matchup would be worth recalling. The crisis of Jan. 6, 2024, centered at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Whoppers - The Cherokee Chronicle Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re seven weeks from the midterm elections. Mail-in and absentee voting has already begun in some states. Voters are starting to pay more attention to the candidates and to the parties they represent. And President Trump insists it’s all about himself. That may be substantially true. Both for his supporters and for his opponents.

I’m sitting in a comfortable Adirondack chair, taking in the expansive southward view near Lutsen, Minn., from the north shore of Lake Superior. At least that’s what the lake was called when we arrived. The U.S.-Canada border runs through the middle of four of the Great Lakes: Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and (shhh) Lake Ontario. I re
Becoming your parents - The Cherokee Chronicle Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A series of ads on TV over the last few months haven’t tripped my trigger. I have finally figured out why. In those ads, an older guy with a trimmed white mustache tries to teach middle-aged guys how not to become their parents. Not only did the ads leave me pretty cold, but I couldn’t remember the company sponsoring them. Doesn’t say a lot either for me or for the company — probably some of both. I had to look up whose ads they were. The ads show the male subjects engaging in small talk with pr
