Life has a way of separating people or gathering them together, and it uses the darnedest circumstances in the process. We, as humans, are separated not just by where we are and where we aren’t, but by what we can do and what we cannot do. Who we know and who we get along with; by whom we don’t know and by whom rubs us the wrong way. Those who text and those who don’t. Even computers join into the process of creating an ever increasing number of small isolated groups. There are those who “code” and those who don’t. And of course, the most fa... Full story

Editor’s Note: The following column was originally published in 2010. I’ve read that the ancient Chinese art of feng shui can bring a sense of peace, well-being and positive energy to a home — same as beer. Curious, I arranged to have dinner with a feng shui master so I could interview him and write off the meal on my taxes. (He ordered a beer!) A serious, prepared-for-anything journalist, I took careful notes on a dinner napkin with the pen I borrowed from the waitress. Unfortunately, I left the napkin on the table, but I think I remem...
Washington has the nation’s highest minimum wage at $9.47 an hour and now the state legislature wants to hike it to $12. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray (D) wants to boost it to $15 to go in step with the SeaTac initiative, which voters barely approved last year. The state’s minimum wage has been adjusted annually since 2001, based on a Seattle-area cost of living index. From 2008 through 2013, Washington’s minimum wage increased more than 14%. Washington voters thought passing an initiative 14 years ago would make life better for the poor and low i...
Nuclear negotiations Back when some prominent Republicans were reasonable, they endorsed some measures now advocated by the Obama administration. Quickly comes to mind ObamaCare which essentially copied Massachusetts’ 2006 health care reform under then-Republican Governor Mitt Romney, who now effectively opposes his own plan. This Massachusetts reform included the individual mandate of ObamaCare, now opposed by Republicans, but also included in the Republican response to the Clinton administration’s unsuccessful 1993 health care reform pro...
The grim forced march to a Hillary Clinton coronation just got a little grimmer. The Hillary email scandal — on top of the revelation of continuing foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation while she was secretary of state — is a nice reminder for Democrats about what they are signing up for. The Clinton Restoration will require routinely defending the indefensible. It will require recalibrating all legal and ethical standards to suit the personal and financial interests of the Clintons. It will require a willingness to use these phrases with...
“The cover-up often is worse than the crime.” How many times have we heard variations of that quote? Usually, it’s trotted out in the context of a political scandal, one that wouldn’t really be a scandal if the principal had just gotten past an obsession with secrecy so severe that he or she acted suspiciously. In this case, it’s a “she” we’re talking about, Hillary Clinton, who repeatedly gets entangled in her fetish for privacy. It’s impossible when living such a high-profile life, with all the attendant perks, financed by the taxpayers. Sh... Full story
The famously inactive Congress has decided to get things moving. Instead of trying to solve the immigration debate, the budget, growing racial tensions, our deteriorating infrastructure, our own national security and the many long-term problems facing the nation, it has decided to muck around independently in international politics. In an unprecedented move, the House of Representatives, specifically John Boehner, invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak. The invitation bypassed the president and may have long-lasting... Full story
