I had to start this blog.

There is far too much going on. The right is increasingly scary, increasingly bold, increasingly successful. In fact, they’re kicking our asses. Pay attention, dammit!

​

I simply can’t let Bernard V. O’Hare, Junior, get away with his bullshit any longer. He deserves a lot of credit covering stuff The Morning Call and others apparently can’t make any money covering. But the guy has contributed to the coarsening of our civic lives.

​

He judges based on hunches and anything else but the facts. He has hurt people immeasurably. He’s like Snidely Whiplash, maniacally looking for ways to take people out. He has no friends.

​

One of the people I most respect in the Lehigh Valley told me he doesn’t read The Morning Call. “What?” says I. “How do you know what’s going on?”

​

“Do you want to hear the truth?”

​

Uh, oh.

​

“I read Bernie’s blog.”

​

Yikes! We can do better.

​

So here I am, the Anti-Bernie.

​

Instead of listening in on conversations in the Northampton County Government Center for content, I have 40 years of experience building a nonprofit organization into a $30 million juggernaut. Instead of nasty histrionics that create enemies, I’m going to try to keep my friends. Instead of assassinating character, I will be honest in assessing others’ actions. Instead of dumbed-down, we are going to smarten up. And I won’t make shit up.

​

What the hell? I don’t have anything else to do!

​

Let’s talk.
