From the coalfields of Appalachia comes a delightful teen singer, Marlana Vanhoose. Check out her rendition of the national anthem at www.vaughtsviews.com/?p=17571 There are several YouTube videos featuring Marlana. By a Google search of her name, one can listen to her cover "Dixie"...

Guys, I truly believe you mean well...but this conversation has gone warp speed into Goofyland. Marriage is recognized in law for extremely good reasons. Societies form law to bring sane, rational structure to conduct and relationships which are deemed to be important. No structure is more...

Sometimes we forget how rare a talent passes before us. I recently was reacquainted with Whitney Houston's spine-chilling rendition of our national anthem at the Super Bowl in 1991. The Super Bowl crowd gave a thunderous standing ovation which lasted several minutes. It was a patriotic moment...

Just speculation on my part, but maybe New Jersey Governor Chris Christie thought it was appropriate to order flags fly at half-mast because Whitney Houston was a much beloved pop icon in the African-American community. Whitney Houston was a source of pride to Newark, New Jersey. New Jersey...

Why must reporting on government dominate the first 45 minutes of the news hour on television? Why does radio news devote most of its content to government issues? Why do newspapers give the front page and Section A over to government coverage? It's all about The Government. I wonder if the...

An EMP event is too frightful to contemplate. Society as we know it could dissolve pretty quickly. No electricity. No internet. No phones. Communication breakdown. Rumor and word-of-mouth replace fact. Roving bands of marauders. Panic. Disease. Martial law. That's just the first week.

Israel may strike Iran this Spring... I've been trying to follow this topic by reading and listening to "experts" in the media. Knowledgeable people such as former UN ambassador John Bolton, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Colin Powell, Dick Cheney and several retired military folks seem...

I can't help but believe there might have been a six-pack of beer just beyond view of the video recorder. This was an incredibly stupid act. The shooter/idiot is tinkering with the prospect of disqualifying himself as a legal gunowner. There is a good reason he has gone silent as a cricket...

Destruction of the laptop was the effect. The gun was the tool or instrument delivering the effect. I don't think we've heard the last of this story as it moves up the legal foodchain. This man's action is the kind of stupidity that leads to further erosion of gunowners' rights. Responsible...

A 30 round clip, hmm? That's an interesting claim. Please be safe and considerate towards neighbors, passers-by, etc. Guns aren't intended to be used as motivational tools by parents.

Discharging a firearm in a fit of anger will usually result in a home visit from police. Discharging a weapon because you are angry with a child will definitely result in a home visit from Child Protective Services. This guy has gotten off easy up to this point. In another jurisdiction...

Feb 1964, I would have been a toddler in a coal mining village. Images of Radio Flyers, Warm Morning stoves, wringer-style washing machines, coal dust. Coal miners, coal trucks, coal shovels, coal mines everywhere. Inescapable coal.

Earlier today, my son got word he and several Marines in his unit are being deployed to Bahrain. Take a look at the proximity of Bahrain to Iran.

Would this be the same Roseanne Barr who in 1990 grabbed her crotch and spat while singing the national anthem during a televised baseball game?

Pilgrim, you do realize you're trying to reason with the Ron Paul School of Idealism, right? This belief system isn't based in reality. Ron Paul must certainly have been heavily influenced by watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Reality is having thousands of nuclear warheads targeted...

It will be a great day for peace when there is no oil left for the Middle East to sell. Take away oil and these little fiefdoms have nothing. As it is now, we buy their oil, they grow rich and want to destroy Israel and as much of Western civilization as possible. It appears Israel will...

What a treat! Perfectly at ease and naturally gifted.

Is anyone bothered by the fact we won World War II ? If so, consider the alternative. Moreover, WW2 was total war. Millions and millions of brutal deaths worldwide. The very existence of the Free World was at stake and the outcome was uncertain. Thankfully, we( the Allies) prevailed...

I am unable to decipher double or triple negatives. Nor can I prove a negative. Is a little clarity possible here?
