I imagine that George W. Bush must be asking himself this question: Was I better off four years ago?

The answer, of course, is yes, he was better off four years ago. Ah, remember the good old days? Like the R.E.M song says it's the end of the world as we know it.

Back when,  Bush had [...]

Today's "High Noon" radio topic is the economy, the $700 billion bail out plan and President Bush's less than inspiring leadership.

My guests will be Prof. Ron Filante of Iona College's Lubin School of Business and Jerry Gleeson, a business writer for The Journal News. Listen in by tuning into WVOX at 1460 AM or log [...]

Here's another way to think about the pending federal bailout of Wall Street. Imagine that you are wage earner who lived your entire working life is utter distrust of banks and the stock market.

Every time you got a paycheck, you cashed it—and stuffed the bills into a mattress. You never bought a house. You only [...]

When I spoke before a gathering of the Northeast Yonkers Republican Club last week I wore a Nixon-Agnew button on my jacket lapel as a little joke.

"If and when the Democrats ever invite me to speak," I told the group, "I'll have to wear another button like this one." With that, I held up a [...]

That's the topic on "High Noon" today…the volatile world of finance and what it means to you. My guest will be Journal News business writer Allan Drury.

Listen to the show on WVOX, 1460-AM or log onto wvox.com. Calls, as always, will be taken at 914-636-0110.

First there was the satirical "wish you here" postcard from Alaska sent to voters in the mail.

Now Liz Feld's aggressive campaign to paint incumbent state Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer, D-Mamaroneck, as a disengaged politician who doesn't care about property tax relief has gone to TV with a new 30-second attack ad.

The campaign commercial, entitled "Vacation," [...]

Today's "High Noon" radio topic is Sarah Palin. (Do you have Palin fatigue yet?) And my guest is County Legislator Jim Maisano, R-New Rochelle, who is going to tell me why I'm wrong about the Republican choice for vice president.

You can join in the conversation, too, by calling 914-636-0110. The show airs at noon on [...]

Not long ago, I heard this rumor that the wheel-spinners on  the Waste-chester County Board of Legislators  wanted to push through a law that would prohibit motorists from smoking in cars with children passengers. Or maybe the idea was being floated by County Excessitive Andy Spano.

Doesn't matter where it came from, or who thought it [...]

My guest on "High Noon" today will be Mike Kaplowitz, the vice chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators who will explain his "Real Reform" plan to win back the public trust in county overnment.

Kaplowitz's agenda includes cutting the legislative staff,  eliminating certain perks such as a car supplied to the board chairman and [...]

Step aside Obama. Take a hike McCain.

This may seem unbelievable but somehow I've managed to gain a groundswell of support to run for president. Some readers may remember my quixotic bid for the U.S. Senate back in '00 against Hillary Clinton and the now forgotten Rick Lazio…I received about 15 write-in votes. I was buried [...]
