Why the Title "horse sense?"

So much of the daily news as presented by the media (and by whomever they get their information from) does not make much sense when looked at with common sense. It either contradicts something said the day before or is totally illogical in itself when looked at with unbiased eyes.

Rather than compete with all the very intelligent and knowledgeable writers/bloggers streaming their analyses through all kinds of channels I want to do something much simpler: in a few sentences referring to a current news item or a human interest story I will point out what my common sense tells me to make of this item. This should be enough to make you look at the item yourself, maybe do a little research or just inform yourself a bit more than usual (I'll provide a few basic links)and come to your own conclusions. That's it.

Your comments and ideas are most welcome. Some I will address, others I will just let sit there for all to see.

Let's have some fun. I am looking forward to it.

My Motto

"Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer."Barbara Kingsolver
