True confession time. Years Decades ago I wrote a weekly newspaper column. It was tough work. On top of the weekly column I also wrote editorials three or four times a week, so all total I had running opinions five days a week. Every week.
Groan. Just thinking about it now makes me nervous. It was a lot of pressure.
I was a pretty bad columnist but slightly better as an editorialist. I did win a few state press association awards for editorial writing, but nada for my columns.
Happy to report that there is now someone below me on the columnist rung.

Here’s the USA Today op-ed. Judge for yourself.
Fortunately, there are no online versions of my old columns.
