  • Don't forget the blessings that surround us

    Complete this sentence: “If I was _______, then I’d truly be blessed and happy.”

    Time’s up and pencils down.

    Now, forget your answer for a moment and lend me your ears…or, in this case…eyes.

    No matter what the answer is, we’re always trying to find true happiness; that light at the end of the tunnel where life and all its oddities make perfect sense.

  • Pulling the Plug on Healthcare

    The Cash for Clunkers program has worked so well it is broke.  The four-month program went broke in four days by giving away our tax dollars to help the auto industry it now owns.

  • Time for some changes- one way or another

    Lately, some officials in Campbell County have displayed behavior ranging from impractical to downright preposterous. Their conduct has risen to such a level that I wonder why they ran for office to begin with.

    An example of the unfeasible behavior was at a recent LaFollette City Council meeting.
