The State Board of Education has for the time being, stopped a proposal to ban sexually explicit books in schools. Now for people who only read the headlines, many might think that means the State Board of Education is promoting putting copies of Hustler magazines in school libraries. (Is Hustler magazine even a thing any more?) Nothing could be farther from the truth.

I’m going to tell you a dirty little secret about politics: There are Democrats that are against abortion and Republicans that are pro-choice. Now of course I’m talking about the voters and not the politicians because even if the politicians felt that way, they couldn’t say so in public if they wanted to continue their political career.

Don Bacon held another Town Hall meeting the other day. Regularly getting in front of his constituents has been something Congressman Bacon has done for years. He should be commended for that.

I’ve always been a bit of a history buff. Many times my traveling companions have humored me as I pulled off the side of the road to read an historical marker, or stop at some hidden time-worn gem I found as I drove the backroads of America.

On one hand I have to give Governor Pillen a lot of credit. It takes guts for a politician to admit that they are wrong these days and change course. Though he never uttered the word, Governor Pillen admitted he was wrong when he decided to enroll the state of Nebraska into a Federal Governments program to help feed children during the summer months.

I had an interesting random thought the other day — I doubt it will go anywhere politically but I think it’s a valid point — that I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter.

I’ve been out of the loop for a while. You see I’ve been battling bladder cancer. On January 12th the day of that awful blizzard when temperatures dropped to fifteen below zero, I was on the operating table having my bladder and prostate removed.

As we start a new year there are some things that Nebraskans can always count on. The Sandhill Cranes will return to the Platte River Valley, the Husker faithful will swear that this is the year we win the National Championship and the Governor and State Senators will try to do something to lower property taxes.
