There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Jerry Dipoto. The Seattle Mariners announced, on Sept. 28, they hired Dipoto as the team’s new general manager.

The recently revived Cheney Parks and Recreation Department, which reopened in 2004, was looking for input from city residents to help chart its future.

Back when I was an impressionable teenager, I used popular sayings such as “bitchen,” “far out” and “groovy.” This kept me in good graces with the cool kids. It also kept me on top of current words used by the “in crowd.” I mention this only because I’m about to discuss the absurdity of today’s clichéd phrases. I want it clear that I understand how the use of certain words and phrases can determine whether a person is on top of things or hopelessly out of synch with contemporary society. That said, I think most of today...

Frustrated voters sometimes denounce their representatives as “good for nothing,” but are they being fair? Consider the budget gimmicks some politicians come up with. When it comes to fiscal gymnastics, who can deny their creativity? Case in point: a plan to fund the mismanaged Highway Trust Fund by tapping the dividends that the Federal Reserve pays member banks. Seriously, stick with me here, because this is a doozy. Here we have federal highway spending, operating at a deficit. Duh, it’s run by politicians. Of cours...
A group of doctors has decided to rewrite the Hippocratic Oath. The ancient pledge charges physicians with applying “all measures that are required” to help the sick. The American Society of Clinical Oncology wants to add a caveat —”unless those measures are too expensive. Then let the patient die.” The oncologists’ group has developed a “conceptual framework” that relies on cost-benefit analysis to determine the most “valuable” treatments for different patients. Sounds innocent enough. But healthcare outcomes cannot be...
Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health as well as maternal and child health services, has become a legislative target. Since July, Senate Republicans have made it their mission to take away the organization’s federal funding after an undercover video from anti-abortion groups supposedly revealed Planned Parenthood was profiting from selling fetal parts for medical research. Senate Republicans introduced a spending bill that would strip Planned Parenthood’s funding for the year, whi...
