Franklin Sousley of Hilltop, Kentucky was one of six US military men who raised the American flag at the battle of Iwo Jima. Only 19 years old at the time, Sousley was killed by a Japanese sniper days later. First buried there on the Japanese island, Sousley's body was later removed to the...

I figure this Chris Hayes guy to be one of Keith Olbermann's concubines.

Okay. You're not ready to be at peace with reality.

The United States, from its inception, has been a huge magnet for migration of people seeking a better life. We share this continental land mass with our friends south of the border. Inevitably, large numbers of people move from a less desirable location to a more desirable location. What's...

WASP's had a pretty good run here in the US. Our refusal to deal with mass migration coming across the southern border is changing America's complexion. I understand migration to improve one's lot in life is natural. Our Hispanic friends, by any fair observation, are hard working, family...

Obama squandered all his political capital to force Obamacare through Congress. He had a supermajority in Congress back then. Now, he cannot build a consensus around any issue because he blew it all on a Big Government approach to socialized medicine. Obamacare is his legacy and the Supreme...

Entrepreneurs, buy yourself a donkey and go pick beans with Juan Valdez. Juan Valdez

I agree. Loyal Democrats who bother to vote in November will turn out for Obama. Obama was never going to carry Kentucky, West Virginia or Arkansas, anyway. Looking at these primary results, though, one might speculate Obama's general election numbers might slip a percentage point or two from...

Tuesday's primary in Kentucky and Arkansas yielded a continuing problem for Barack Obama. He just isn't very popular among Democrat primary voters in these two states. In Kentucky's Democrat primary, Obama ran unopposed and lost 42% of the vote to "uncommitted." This blog piece was...

Then, there's this: Black Bear in KY - YouTube

Link is now fixed. Bear still dead.

Not sure if this bear was taken in a hunt or killed in highway traffic. Hunting of bears is allowed in Harlan and Pike Counties of Kentucky. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpGj7cQYPq4&feature=related

Elk all but vanished from Kentucky 150 years ago. Today, thanks to a well managed restocking plan, elk are again flourishing in Appalachia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcAk4LhqWMk&feature=related

The hog trial exacerbated an already intense dislike between the two families. Animosities from the American Civil War led to the first murder in 1865 as Asa Harmon McCoy, a Union soldier, was killed near his home by HomeGuard militia affiliated with the Hatfields.

Stubborness. Pride. Pettiness. A misplaced sense of honor. The usual stuff.

The general consensus seems to be that Ron Paul needs immediate psychiatric care.

This is an object lesson in allowing one's emotions to become too heavily invested in a politician. Including Ron Paul. Especially, Ron Paul. Let go of the angst. Time to move on. An acerbic tone drives people away.

Digging a little deeper into the making of this mini-series, I uncovered an interview given by Kevin Costner on set in Romania. Yes, The Hatfields and McCoys movie was made in the mountains of Romania. There are several insightful remarks from Costner on a range of topics. The video is 22...
