    Dolly Parton's "Jolene" played at 33 RPM

    My fascination with Appalachian music and songwriters only deepens over time. Admiring it as an art form, one acknowledges Dolly Parton is in a league of her own. The genius of "Jolene" is its simplicity. Here in an "All Things Considered" interview from NPR is the backstory to "Jolene" ...

    Ovary.. appendix.. whatever

    The USSR broke apart in 1991. Modern Russia is not a communist nation, per se. Russia now has a mixed economy much like the United States where the private economy is flourishing with respect to some industries. Poltically, Russia appears to be an autocracy where the the legislature rubber...

    That worked well

    So much crime goes undetected or unreported that statistics may not give a meaningful overview. Some types of crime have a very high rate of being reported, while other types of crime are reported less often. Also, certain victims are reluctant to report crime. Some neighborhoods are diligent...

    The time you have in jelly beans.

    The meter is running. We are the only animal species conciously aware that our time on Earth is finite. Live, love and laugh while you can. Forgive quickly, be slow to anger. Anger is the real enemy of contentment.

    What would war with Russia look like?

    Let's not allow skeptics to confuse the term "contemporary documents" with contemporaneous evidence. The Holocaust is perhaps the most well documented atrocity of the modern era. The historical record is buttressed by literally warehouses full of contemporaneous evidence meaning eyewitness...

    There was a time when freshmen weren't even in the starting lineup. Upperclassmen still reign in the mid-majors and NCAA Division II teams. Graduation rates for highly ranked basketball and football programs are poor. Vanderbilt being an exception.

    Kentucky Wildcat basketball fans are just that- fanatical. I grew up in Eastern Kentucky listening to sportscaster Cawood Ledford call UK ballgames on AM radio. Cawood was a legendary fixture on the UK sports scene for nearly 40 years. Toward the end of the short video linked below, listen to...

    Russian Bear, he want to kick butt'm

    Political uprisings have a way of catching on in faraway plaves. Crimea seceded from Ukraine at the ballot box. Quebecers might feel encouraged as well as other regions in our hemisphere. Self-determination and autonomy have enduring appeal. There is no telling how many US states would...

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    Traditional family values matter amongst conservatives. Taking a moderate stance is what northeastern GOP'ers favor, such as Chris Christie. Southern conservatives will not embrace nor endorse homosexual marriage. Allowances have to be made for regional differences. A northern conservative...

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    I do believe Rand Paul would be a tremendously strong 3rd party candidate. I agree with much of his beliefs; however, when he starts suggesting conservatives need to soften their stance against homosexual marriage, he loses a lot of voters. Supporters of traditional marriage simply will not go...

    It's okay. Rand Paul needs to go 3rd party.

    Rand Paul selling out social conservatives. No surprise.

    Direct me to a libertarian government so we can study its performance. Even a bonafide libertarian government would have to ensure social order through imposition of law. To govern is to control, there is no way around this truth.
