Love the skin you're in
Published on May 02, 2008
I was chaperoning for a church youth event a couple weekends ago, sacrificing my Friday night for squealing teens and sleep-deprived adults -- one of whom treated me like the very teens we were supervising -- all in the name of doing a favor for my family and church. more »

Last Friday I had the privilege of attending a seminar titled, "Understanding the Multi Generational Workforce," and I'd like to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts. more »

Somethin's wrong here
Published on May 04, 2008
Income: John McCain reported $852,000 income on his 2007 tax return. His wife, a wealthy heiress, didn't disclose all of hers. Barrack Obama and wife reported $4.2 million, while the Clintons reported $20.4 million income. None would have included tax-free bond income. Obama and Clinton make a big thing about having humble beginnings. They're anything but humble persons, and never have been, though in their younger days their wealth was low. Makes you scratch your head, doesn't it? more »

Write it down
Published on May 11, 2008
I am afraid we are losing great chunks of our history because we don't write anymore. Everyone text messages (each of my sons had 4,000 to and fro messages last month) and sends e-mails, but those are essentially lost unless you have access to the many government databases that record everything we do in the name of national security. more »

The whole story
Published on May 10, 2008
I felt it only appropriate to begin my column with a few words about my mother; after all, I wouldn't be here without her. It's not exactly an objective opinion, but I believe she (along with my father, of course) raised my siblings and me very well. It was as much about what she didn't give as it was about what she did. more »

Missing mothers
Published on May 11, 2008
If you're fortunate enough to be spending this Mother's Day with your own family, please take a moment to think about the thousands of Maryland children in foster care, who won't be seeing their own mothers today. Despite the best efforts of the wonderful families who take them in, many of these kids face harsh futures. more »

Poison Kool-Aid
Published on May 01, 2008
I don't know what got into the water supply over in the Dearbought neighborhood, but God save us from whatever Steve Berryman is drinking. To be on the safe side, I suggest that everybody between East Street and Libertytown stick to milk or whiskey for the time being. more »

The Clintons: Their wealth, taxes and political influence
Published on May 04, 2008
The New York Times quotes Hillary Clinton as saying: "Now don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against rich people. As a matter of fact, my husband, much to my surprise and his, has made a lot of money since he left the White House." She concluded, "But we didn't ask for George Bush's tax cuts. We didn't want them, and we didn't need them." Thus spoke one of the 21st century's most high-profile nouveau riche. more »

Farewell
Published on May 06, 2008
I recently advised my News-Post editor I planned to resign from my editorial page slot. The primary reason is my involvement in a number of community, fraternal and church activities. I concluded I was burning the candle at both ends and that I'd best cut back on at least one substantially time-consuming activity. I greatly respect Joe Volz and Katherine Heerbrandt for producing three columns each week. more »

Realizations
Published on May 03, 2008
My first name, "Diana," is a word that, with interchangeable accent levels, may be pronounced in three languages: English (Di-an-uh), Arabic (Deeyana), and even Spanish (Day-anah). more »
