About me
I was graduated from Yale University in 1963 with a B.A. in economics and from the University of Virginia School of law, where I was the notes editor of the Virginia Law Review, in 1966. Following four years of active duty with the Army JAG Corps, with two tours in Korea, I entered private practice in Washington, D.C. specializing in communications law. I retired in 1996 to sail with my wife, Jeanie, on our sailboat Namaste to and in the Caribbean. In 2002, we settled in the Republic of Panama and live in a very rural area up in the mountains.
I now contribute to China Daily Mail and Opinion Forum. I have contributed to Pajamas Media and Pajamas Tatler.

Major Hasan gets to keep his beard. That’s Good.

Political Correctness is a Communicable Disease.
It is transmitted by hot air, a consequence of global warming (caused by deadly carbon emissions) not complained of by well known Climatologist St. Al the Gored. Libruls are the principal carriers and are also the most susceptible. Political correctness … Continue reading
