    When you cross the river from Henderson going up to Evansville, you're still in Kentucky. There's a Kentucky scale house on the north side of the river right there, too.

    Back in the mid 80s I think it was, the Supreme Court rued the same way in favor of Indiana, and also did so for Ohio. Illinois wanted their hunnert feet. Despite the river being there, there is a land border between Kentucky and Indiana. I wonder how many people know where it is? Expediters...

    That's a touchy subject for Illinois and Kentucky. The border has been in dispute for 200 years. When Kentucky became a state in 1792 the border was set at whatever the low water mark was. Illinois contends that the border is whatever it was in 1792, Kentucky contends it's whatever the low water...

    The Republicans didn't sell us down the river nor did they vote for Obamacare. They voted to reopen the government and gave up using Obamacare as a hostage. The dam in Kentucky is the Olmsted Dam Project which Congress in 1988 authorized spending $775 million to replace two 1920s-era Ohio River...

    Unconditional income

    Ive Marx, professor of social policy at the University of Antwerp noted, "Much of the debate around basic income is a symbolic debate. They are in favour of having the discussion but disregard the efforts needed to make it work, such as paying for it. [Such a policy] is unworkable and merely...

    In a perfect little Utopian-Socialist world, maybe, but no, taxes have never been about promoting the general welfare of every citizen. It's always been about benefiting those in power, be they a state government or equivalent, or a kingdom, and the things necessary and incidental to those in...

    Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for food stamps and other low income assistance programs in the first place. Any job should pay what makes financial sense in the free market and to what the owner or management is willing to pay. Jobs shouldn't have to be artificially inflated so that skilled and...

    Who hates their Honda generator?

    The best scenario is an Espar for heat, a generator for the AC, and to recharge the battery bank.

    Godfather Politics? Really? Yeah, that's the go-to site for accurate information. <snort> I'd list the number of "facts" that GodfatherPolitics has wrong, as well as the "facts" that the Blaze has wrong, but it's too long of a list. Good grief. But the big ones are that sophomores weren't GIVEN...

    Who hates their Honda generator?

    Yeah, if you need a generator for heat because it's getting cold, what you need is an Espar heater.

    Racist LEO busted on camera

    Officer Nance has, uhm, shall we say, a "colorful" past, particularly in that neighborhood. Yeah, that, or maybe from the long list of complaints against Nance, and the other videos of him doing the same types of things. The two separate recorded incidents of him pulling up in his police car...

    Looking Both Ways Avoiding Incidents and Accidents : Looking Both Ways

    According to figures from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), out of the 6 million car accidents that happen on U.S. roads every year, over 40% of them (2.5 million) are rear-end collisions. On average there is another rear-end collision every 8 seconds, which...

    Interesting New Poll Out ...

    I came to that conclusion because no other conclusion can be reached, as it's an actual fact. An equally curious wondering is why you concluded it was proper to omit the very important qualifiers of "tend to" and "generally" with respect to earn and given. There are exceptions to everything...
