OPINION – Man In The Middle Speaks: We Need A ‘Czar Of Racial Harmony’
Based on the President’s comments regarding the Gates affair, I assume he was absent the day they taught the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” at Harvard Law. At this point, there is no need rehash the events or the comments that have a stranglehold on the media. For the record, since I was not [...]
ONE MAN’S OPINION: The CIA – Who Would Have Guessed They Have Secrets
Here’s a shocker, the CIA has been involved in secret covert affairs. Imagine! Who would have guessed that an organization called the Central Intelligence Agency would be involved in such shenanigans?

MAN IN THE MIDDLE JOURNAL – UNEDITED – 5/14/09:

Opinion: Man In The Middle Journal – “Where Mind Meets Mouth, Unrestrained” SUBJECT: HEALTH CARE
Mr. Obama called it “a historic day, a watershed event,” hosting a meeting at the White House between himself and the six leaders of the health care industry in a demonstration of their support for his health reform package. In my book, it was just another day in the ’spin city’ politics of Mr. [...]

Man In The Middle Journal – The Bottom line (Unedited)
My original plan was to write a comprehensive opinion piece on the economy, but with the events of the past week and the promise of an active financial week ahead, I’m going delay my comments for the moment. Instead, I offer some brief observations on the [...]

Man In The Middle Journal: Porky Pig’s Date With Destiny (and Mr. Obama too)
Porky is heading to the White House and the doors of the oval office are wide open.

Man In The Middle Journal: Afghanistan Update 3/8/09
A favorite new pastime of President Obama is the Air Force 1 interview. It is a deceptively impressive venue for an ‘up close and personal,” chat with the President, but it is also a very controlled and calculating ploy by the administration to control the news and information flow. With his notes and aides nearby, [...]
