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.

Ex-TOTUS Speaks Again, no longer ex-cathedra.
In an earlier article The Really Honorable I. M. Totus, then the Teleprompter of the United States, told us of his origins and White House functions. Recently fired from his post, he now has even more to say. With the … Continue reading
Apes have been Rude, Crude and Unfair to Attorney General Holder.
They have also been unkind to one of his people, President Obama. They deserve compassion and help, not racist scorn from apes! General holder is a courageously humble civil servant who (unlike the Surgeon General) does not even occasionally wear … Continue reading
