since you are an editor at a fairly small market newspaper why not have a few columns about local goings on?

sun_tzu,
I would love to. In fact I used to write extensively about local happenings. However, for reasons I will not elaborate here, others at the paper are responsible for local issues and I write about state and national or international issues.
That being said, nothing prevents me from blogging about local issues and I hope to do more of that in the future.

Not really. But the government apparently cares whether I wear my seat belt and in a free country it is really no one's business if I wear a seat belt.

I am against the Big Brother concept too. But your comment on the picture of Bush did not make it clear why you asked the question.

Communication not Bush's strong point
President Bush and his dog Barney at the president's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Where is the president's seat belt? (Photo courtesy of the White House.)
While eloquence is not necessarily a prerequisite to being president, it certainly is a desired trait. I can't help but think this whole mess in Iraq could have been avoided if the president had done a better job of explaining himself.
In his speech saying farewell to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bush said:
It's a sad indictment of the American political system that such a poor public speaker can become president.
Perhaps his inability to express himself is at the root of his need to kill other people for dubious reasons. ...
