I’m an award-winning journalist who traveled the semi-free world using another name on my passport. I broke stories and they broke me. Guess I pretty much stayed broke.
Made it 30 years on the print side, before stubbornly finishing up as the managing editor at Stars & Stripes Newspaper, the editorially independent newspaper that serves our troops and their families overseas.
I did about all of it while working at a weekly and four dailies from Maine to Florida. Met fascinating people all the way up to Muhammad Ali, and even swerved into hosting a weekly TV show, which as it turns out, had nothing to do with good journalism. That gig did prevent me from ever having to buy a drink, though, so there was some good in it after all …
There was a time when print was king. I suppose that ended when print guys like me started getting TV shows. And this: I’m pretty sure the decline in local newspapers has had a direct impact on the increasing ignorance in America.
Anyway, armed with a pen, a bad attitude, and a little time on my hands, I wrote a book using Trump’s best words to destroy him.
Look, I don’t like what I’m seeing or hearing these days, so I’m writing about it through an original point of view. You can find my stuff all over the web in places like Raw Story and AlterNet, where I spin regular political columns, with irregular takes.
This is my home, though.
I hope you will consider subscribing to Enough Already. Why not give it a shot for free? If you like it, maybe you’ll contribute a few bucks of your hard-earned money to this shared cause. I’ve kept the prices as low as Substack will allow.
For now, please stand up for yourselves, brothers and sisters. You are most likely worth it.
