By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’ve been given a pseudonym by Charles Coddington. I am the “Gaslighter.” As much as I appreciate Coddinton’s new name for me, the problem remains, I like Wayne Johnson’s moniker better. He calls me “Wild Bill.” I think Wild Bill is a much better fit for
Musings: •Can you say “President Kamala Harris,” dear reader? T. Rump can’t. He’s too concerned about his crowd sizes and immigrants eating cats and dogs. BS can’t. He’s too busy twisting his tongue into a pretzel, trying to convince himself that she doesn’t have a platform to run on. She
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I see something sinister and evil that has invaded our country. I don’t believe I’m alone in this observation. We have family against family, friend against friend, and a fear in many to speak out about what they think. We have lost our collective trust and
Musings: •I have a new nickname for the Hungarian nemesis: Gaslighter. For those who are not familiar with that term, a gaslighter is a person who manipulates a conversation in order to gain control over his/her opponent. He/she makes the opponent question their credibility concerning a given topic of discussion.
“Confessions of a Taxi Driver,” Part Two: In the previous ”confession,” I categorized some of the “Crackerjacks,” i.e. reckless drivers, as “pushers.” That is to say, these drivers tend to push other motorists off our streets and highways because they are in a great tearing hurry to get somewhere and
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Honorable people are truthful people, which is why Wayne’s World Johnson is not an honorable man. Wayne’s articles have taken on an even more dishonest and hateful tone than Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight. Charles Coddington’s pieces are a close second. I believe Wayne’s anger has
Two years ago (or so), ye olde publisher, Carter Crane, sent me an E-mail which informed me that someone (I won’t mention any names) wanted to debate me on the pages of The Voice. My first thought was, “I refuse to engage in battle of wits with an unarmed person.”
By Robert MangersYorkville, Ill. After reading the column by Charles Coddington (Chas) in the August 1 edition of The Voice, I feel compelled to respond to his many points. Please bare with me because I’m not a writer and kind of out of my element. First, I’m not a fan
Musings: •The consequences of the attempted assassination of T. Rump is clear to this writer. He (Rump) is destined to become the next president of the Untied (sic) States of America, which he has sought for the past four years. Forget about the lies he has told, the crimes he
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda My family arrived here in the United States in 1957 during the Eisenhower administration. We were refugees from communist Hungary, one of many countries under Russian occupation behind the iron curtain. We escaped a totalitarian regime that thought nothing of executing their people or political rivals
“We, the members of the U.S. Supreme Court, are thy gods by reason of our holy decrees. “Thou shalt have no other gods before us. “Thou shalt not make any graven images or likenesses of us, except that of our servant, Donald J. Trump, hereafter referred to as His Angelic
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Hans Christian Anderson wrote a satire entitled “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.” It’s a story of two swindlers pulling a fraudulent stunt on a vain King obsessed with fashion and nobility. The two con men tell the King they will create the most exquisite Royal attire
Happy days are here again! Bela Suhayda is back on the pages of The Voice, and he hasn’t changed a bit. I took care to distinguish between “national socialism” and “democratic socialism,” but Suhayda was having none of it. “Socialism” conjures up in his mind the atrocities of Stalin and
Musings: •Now that T. Rump has reached that exalted position of “convicted felon,” he should be coronated in the proper fashion and provided the accouterments in which to issue his proclamations. For his coronation, he should be robed with a bright yellow suit with black stripes about the forearms and
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’ve had to shake my head hundreds of times through the years reading Wayne Johnson’s montage of demeaning hateful slurs in The Voice cynically aimed at his favorite protagonist, Donald Trump and of course, yours truly. A couple of weeks ago, in a gesture of fake
The Grand Old Party ain’t what it used to be. It continues to disintegrate, thanks to the current make-up of the U.S. House of Representatives. The House has been infected by MAGAts which have burrowed deeply into it and created rot. It should now be called the “Goofy Order of
From the vault – revised (various dates): When I was writing “Common Sense” essays for TONIT (pronounced “Toe=nit”) – that other newspaper in town – I wrote a series of satirical observations on the types of motorists we must endure in our daily lives. I wrote them under the umbrella
May 9, 2024Dear editor; On the Charles Coddington’s column, freedom vs. socialism in the The Voice, May 9 edition, there is so much wrong with this moron’s positions and to say right wing shows he’s a partisan hack who has no clue what freedom is and how it’s attained. We
“Freedom vs. Socialism”? Where does Bela “Bill” Suhayda get these ideas? Does he pull them out of his backside and spray them with perfume so that nobody can tell how bad they smell? (See The Voice, April 18.) The fact of the matter is that socialism is freedom. Freedom from
From the vault, revised (various dates): Ever since we hairless apes swung down from the trees and began to walk upright, we have disposed of our wastes wherever it was convenient (and healthy!) to do so. As the millennia passed and our populations increased, we had to dispose of ever
