YARBROUGH: GOP governors want sanctuary cities to walk their talk

¡Hola elitistas amantes de los liberales! Nosotros estamos aquí ¿Qué hay para el almuerzo? For those of you around for whom English is still your primary language, the above roughly translates to: “Hello, liberal- loving elitists. Here we are. What’s for lunch?

DUDLEY: Food for thought

I’m sure this has happened to you before, but let me set the scene. It’s 9:15 in the morning and now, all of a sudden, Big El is asking me to put her suitcase, toolbox and nail belt into Streak, her zippy little Nissan Z. “Well, where are you off to,” I ask.

RICH: Tink’s heart: she said…he said

In all my borne days, I have never seen anyone who eats like John Tinker. Occasionally, he has breakfast. Sometimes, he has lunch. But, ALWAYS, he starts eating toward the end of the afternoon and does not stop until he brushes his teeth for bedtime.

CRANE: Long live the king

Our family, particularly on my father’s side is of Scotch/Irish/Welch descent. I have long considered myself a bit of an Anglophile. Probably my two favorite fictional characters for decades have been James Bond and Sherlock Holmes.

YARBROUGH: What would life be without a cheeseburger?

I suggest you read this in a hurry because I am writing it in a hurry and hoping you and I can get to the finish at the same time before one of us kicks the bucket. It seems life is short and getting shorter.

RICH: Ronda kills me

(This is the first of a two-part He Said/She Said series.) “You kill me,” I’ll often say to Ronda. Whether it’s her wit, her insight, her fashion or decorating style, or the stories she tells, I am endlessly entertained. In the best way, of course.

Letter to the Editor: Consider all possible solutions

Dear Editor: One of the many news items creating recent controversy is the federal tuition loan forgiveness program. As in many cases, the history of this legislation is complex and deserves more thought than mere partisan sound bites and social media memes.
