I felt sorry for Hillary RODHAM Clinton last night. She got BOMBED from all sides. It was not a pretty sight. Her attempts to stay with her briefing book answers tangled her up and today her inner circle even says that “Gentle Ben” Tim Russert was “belligerent and unfair” to her. If I didn’t know […]

When I was a child my parents tuned into the Porter Wagoner Show every evening at 6:30 p.m. on Channel 6 in Paducah, Ky. We sat in front of a black and white Zenith and listened to him and Dolly Parton sing their country music. Well, Mr. Porter has died at age 80. He had […]

I saw Mitch Albom, the author of Tuesdays with Morrie, yesterday and it prompted me to think about the people in my life (other than my parents) that helped me grow up and that I want to thank for all their assistance in making me who I am today. Some have already passed on, unfortunately, […]

IRAQ – Isn’t it interesting that we now see the surge working in Iraq (civilian deaths down 70% plus; military deaths down 50%) that the House of Representatives wants to throw mud into the face of our ally Turkey by passing a resolution supporting the use of the word “genocide” as it relates to the […]

Eddie Mannis, owner of Prestige Cleaners in Knoxville is one special fellow and I am convinced there will be a special place in Heaven for him. This past weekend Kay and I were honored to be “guardians,” who escorted WWII veterans on a US Air charter flight to Washington, D.C. to see the WWII memorial. […]

Senator Harry Reid must have a chuckle every time that he thinks of how well he has goaded the conservatives into defending Rush Limbaugh, the Nation’s most influential conservative talk show host and a real thorn in the side of the “Progressives,” as the socialist liberal Democrats wish to now call themselves. Who else but […]

So, Hillary RODHAM Clinton has decided that every child born during her term of as President should get $5000. Well, I have two words for Hillary RODHAM Clinton – Get a LIFE! By the way what is the American electorate thinking if they even remotely consider this a viable option? Have we not outlawed the […]

“Services for Michael Glenn “Pete” Hyatt, 54, of Eddyville were at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Dunn’s Funeral Home in Eddyville. The Rev. Jamus Redd and the Rev. Steve McVay will officiate, with burial in Macedonia Cemetery. Mr. Hyatt died Thursday at the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Oklahoma. He worked at ITT Grinnell in […]

AP TODAY – “The world’s best-known mime artist has died. For decades, Marcel Marceau epitomized the silent art, eliciting laughter and tears from audiences around the globe.” And so another great person, admired around the world died today. Perhaps it is the great ones such as this that we can really connect with and in […]

Now and then you get one of these posts from a friend that summarizes better than anything you could write yourself how you feel. Since I just turned 57 this weekend I find this to be the case with the contribution I share with you today from my dear friend and colleague Gaye Stockman in […]

Life is truly too short I have come to realize. Just about the time that we get our finances together and no longer have to work to make a living, rather we can live to enjoy our work — it seems that life at this stage is quickly flying by. So, I am always appreciative […]

Go ahead and call me a cynic. Because you would be right! It should be pointed out that psychopathic killers usually start their killing lust by first torturing and killing animals. Sounds to me like Michael Vick, the darling role model to so many fans of the NFL, may have exhibited his latent psychopathic tendencies […]

And the media wonders why we don’t trust them? By now any of you that have followed the Little League Championship know that Georgia won the game against Japan. We offer our heartiest congratulations to the Georgia team. However, what you might not know, especially if you read the Associated Press, is the level of […]

Thursday, August 23, 2007 And so the games have begun in earnest it seems. Rudy and Fred. I suggest a drawdown at Times Square. Fred has finally drawn the line in the sand on Rudy’s gun control. Of course, Rudy and his minions come back with “look what I did to make NYC safe.” MY […]
