Got to love those Nazi hunters. 89 year old John Demjanjuk will face a show trial in Germany, if he can live through the trip there. WW2 has been over for 64 years. This twisted sense of vengeance and persecution concerning a feeble old man, who is likely innocent, brings discredit upon...

Supreme Court Justice David Souter has announced his plans to retire this year. Obama will nominate, I suspect, a much younger jurist of the liberal persuasion to replace Souter. Once accomplished, that seat on the Supreme bench will be a reliable left-wing vote for the next 20-30 years. We...

A well known porker from Pennsylvania took flight this week as he left the GOP and moved to his new wallow with the Dems.

In the latest episode our president will address the nation on Wednesday evening during primetime. Promoted as a celebration of his first 100 days in office, an adoring press and carefully handpicked on-lookers will swoon at his magnificence. Meanwhile, our nation crumbles. No progress on...

There now. I was always partial to the ladies on HeeHaw. They just seemed so clean and wholesome. Anyone remember Nurse Goodbody? ( please stay on topic).

One of my favorite quatrains by Robert Frost: The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. (from " Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" )

Early this morning I was driving down Main Street in my small town of 20,000. As I am enroute to our post office to mail the sports page to my son in Parris Island, I notice a large gathering of people on the court house lawn. They are smiling, waving placards and someone is speaking through a...

Over the years, I have accidently hit the following animals with my car/truck: dogs, cats, deer, snakes, frogs, turtles, fox, opossum, birds, chickens (sorry Dad), rabbits, skunks, bats, squirrels, lizards, raccoons. Add to that, I have slain maybe 100,000 bugs which met their doom on my...

I read a front-page story, yesterday, in the Lexington Herald newspaper about a criminal ring arrested for trafficking in the sale of wild animals. Seems these guys were buying and selling coyotes and foxes. They were being sold to private individuals and hunting clubs so their hounds could...

Our fearless Secreatary of State has descended on Mexico to tell those nasty druglords what for. Unless she can spin her head like Linda Blair and shoot projectile vomit, the cartel kingpins and their private armies won't even notice her.

We Americans are very good at letting bygones be bygones. It's a coping mechanism, individually and collectively. The Earth has turned on its axis many times since that day in September. I was delivering freight in Somerset,Ky on a spectacular blue sky morning, listening to AM radio (WHAS...

Set your tivo. Obama speaks tonight at 8pm. He'll do fine as long as the teleprompter is working. I'm told he gets in trouble when he goes off script or does Q &A. Someone keep me informed.

News reports today state China is becoming very concerned about the security of American treasury notes. Seems they may be reluctant to loan us much more money. Wonder what happens to the U.S. economy when the money dries up?

Borrowing more money overseas does not fix our enormous debt problems. It is exactly the wrong measure. Increased productivity produces wealth. It's not a difficult concept. There is more common sense to be found in your local barbershop than in Washington,DC. The Dow took a plunge...

As I delivered a government load to Dover AFB a few weeks ago, a hearse was leaving the gates. I concluded another fallen soldier was coming home. It was Bush's policy to not allow any media coverage of the flag draped coffins being returned, lest it erode public support for the war...

This guy's permanent grin is starting to give me the creeps. Sort of like Liberace.

OKay, B.O. has been President for 30 days now. Done diddly squat. The honeymoon is over. Impeach Obama now. This 30 day grace period is 29 days and 23 hours longer than the one extended to Bush. Fellow members of the vast right-wing conspiracy, with righteous indignation, call your...

Octogenarian Alan Greenspan now favors nationalization of some troubled US banks. Let them become a government owned institution much like the Bank of England? This is more than a trial balloon: it's a shift away from capitalism as we've known it. I can see a rapid decline in Americans'...

Border Patrol agents, Ramos and Compean, were released from prison today. President Bush had commuted their sentences in the waning hours of his administration. Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) says he will petition Predident Obama to grant a full pardon to the two men.

I have an uneasy feeling our nation is 4 to 6 months away from very real social unrest. These band-aid solutions from Bush and now Obama only buy a little more time. At some juncture, China will stop funding our debt and call in their markers. Then what? Also, the oil speculators of 2005...
