Hawaii leadership: That's our story, and we're sticking to it!

Last night, I watched with shame as the Three Stooges of Hawaii — Gov. Josh Green, the mayor of Maui, and the head of Maui Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) — stuck together like a band of thieves sharing an alibi: It's not our fault...

A 40-year Hawaii resident on Obama and 'understanding Hawaii'

The first time I saw Barack Obama was around '76 or '77 when my brother-in-law Bobby Titcomb brought the young man who would be our future president over to the house after playing basketball. I remember asking Bobby about his ethnicity, b...

‘It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white…’

Oh, how far we’ve come… I saw a clip with the great athlete Jesse Owens.  He stated, “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.  It only matters if your’re fast or slow.” Maybe the Os...
