February 22: An Ode For Washington's Birthday (Vol. 6, pp. 492-494)
Why, why why are we celebrating the birthday of the Father of Our Country with Scottish gibberish from Robert Burns? Whomever compiled the Reading Guide wasn't thinking, I'd say.
I have been involved in broadcast, print and online media in New England for nearly three decades.
Currently, I am the chief editorial writer at the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.
I have also been a regular contributor since 1996 to The American Reporter, the first online-only daily newspaper in America.
I am a 1983 graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and 1997 graduate of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. I was also an infantry sergeant in the Massachusetts Army National Guard from 1981 until 1987.
