Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

Viktor Yushchenko won “Ukraine election II”, defeating Viktor Yanukovich after Yanukovich’s first win was thrown out by a court. The crowd at Yushchenko’s campaign headquarters was rowdy, yelling and chanting Viktor’s name, but grew deadly silent after Yushchenko asked if anybody wanted to be his food taster. As for Yanukovich, he’s refusing to accept defeat, [...]

Does anybody keep New Years resolutions?

Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

I’ve never met anybody who has actually kept a New Years resolution. Oh sure, some people can keep a resolution for even up to a few days. Quitting smoking, stop drinking, better diet, make some more money, stop calling the neighbors kid fat, stop yelling at the video clerk because they’re out of the last [...]

Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

This week’s column isn’t really a column. It’s the annual year end look at the year ahead. What does 2005 have in store for us? Hopefully it doesn’t have anything to do with being stranded for an entire weekend at the Neverland Ranch. If you haven’t, check out 2005: The year in preview.

Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

Well, the kids have torn through their presents like famished lions who picked off the slowest gazelles in the herd. Now, briefly, the dust settles, until tomorrow and the following days, when poor trapped souls will have to be rescued, “evacuation of Dunkirk” style, from Wal-Mart and Target gift return lines nationwide. Spend your day [...]

If turning their backs doesn’t work, future events will probably [...]
