Americans learn a lot about politicians during election years, and they learn a lot about the political process during caucus meetings. That in mind, I decided to follow Robert’s Rules of Order and make a motion calling for an injection of humor into my far-too-serious ongoing coverage of the 2012 St. Charles County (Mo.) Republican [...]

It’s Official: Bob McCarty is on Facebook
August 23rd, 2009 · No Comments
It’s official, folks. I created a Facebook account last night. From among the 100 people to whom I extended friend requests, exactly half of them – from as far away as Australia and Canada — have accepted those requests. What does it mean exactly? We’ll find out. To visit my Facebook page, click here or [...]

Obama Not Listed on Global Name Mapping Site
March 25th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Almost six months ago, I wrote about the origin of Barack Obama’s last name. Last month, I reported the results of a Harris Poll® in which Barack Obama’s name finished above Jesus Christ. Today, I share a rather odd bit of research from a site that dubs itself “The global name mapping website.” When I [...]

Are Extended Christmas Vacations in Store for Members of the U.S. Military Under Obama?
November 18th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Extended Christmas vacations might be in store for members of the U.S. military if President-elect Barack Obama gets his way and, in keeping with his stated plans to drastically cut defense spending, research and capabilities, guts the military. I make this prediction after reading a recent BBC report from “Down Under” that offers a foreshadowing [...]

Sex a Hot Topic ‘Down Under’ and in ‘Big D’
November 17th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Two groups — one “Down Under” and one in “Big D” — are promoting polar-opposite views of sex this week. In Australia, the new Australian Sex Party — an actual political party — is billing itself as “a political response to the sexual needs of Australia in the 21st century.” A review of the group’s [...]

Homophobia-Free Zones Pop Up ‘Down Under’
August 25th, 2008 · 4 Comments
I read with amazement — but not surprise — an AFP report this afternoon about the City of Sydney Council voting five-to-four to designate parts of the Australian city as “homophobia-free zones.” The move is said to be aimed at deterring violence, abuse and harassment against homosexuals in the heart of the city’s bar and [...]

The Myth of Human-Caused Global Warming
April 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments
Earlier today, I shared news about food rationing in the United States. Upon discovery of that news, I began researching the issues of food supplies and shortages further. While I found several articles offering glimpses into the growing worldwide food crisis, only one pointed to the root cause: The myth of man-made global warming. Below [...]
