    Turning twang into gold

    Appalachians live with ridicule. We talk funny. Sound funny. A peculiar people, geographically isolated by mountains and imbued with a leeriness of outsiders. This isolation has preserved a distinctive dialect often heard in song. Particularly, mountain music as heard in Bluegrass venues...

    Scale question

    It is sad to watch the indifference to safety that too many drivers demonstrate on the highway. The seeming casualness of driving a 5,000 Lb car at 70mph ripping down the road with all the concern of a Sunday stroll. We see motorists in various stages of emotional distress or distraction so...

    Revenge of the nerds.

    In all likelihood, the US Supreme Court will announce this week that Obamacare, in part or whole, is unconstitutional. It would be nice to think Obama faces defeat in November, but the same groups which elected him four years ago are still in place. If 3 or 4% of his supporters have grown sour...

    I delivered in Laredo on Saturday morning. Slept a few hours and deadheaded up to San Antonio where I hope to catch a load tomorrow. It was a respectable 98 degrees Fahrenheit at 2pm today.

    France calls for UN to enforce Annan plan under UN's Chapter 7

    If the United States found itself in critical danger, Americans could depend on unwavering support from the UK, Canada and Australia. Some of the former Soviet bloc nations, as well as Japan, would probably surprise many with their support for the US. Despite what the liberal media reports...

    Meet "Bad" Frank.... Hatfield/McCoy drama comes to the History Channel

    Watching a replay of the mini-series, I was struck by what a strong performance actress Mare Winningham gave. Powers Booth and Tom Berenger played memorable roles, too. Superb job by the entire cast. There's something special about a story well told. The History Channel plans to produce...

    Meet "Bad" Frank.... Hatfield/McCoy drama comes to the History Channel

    Agreed. If viewers were expecting a happy ending, well, feuds don't produce a happy ending. The History Channel has acquitted itself with honor on this production as the mini-series stays incredibly close to historical accounts. Some dramatic liberties were taken, but not at the expense of...
