Today's Opinions

  • The secrey of life is everywhere

    Harold N. A. Hurry was a man who was like his middle and last names, always in a hurry.

    He complained so much that he’d often miss out on the little blessings that were all around. In fact, his favorite saying was, “Isn’t there any goodness left in the world?”

    Harold drove to the post office and was in a hurry, as usual. He was angry because the red light wasn’t turning green fast enough, as well as the man in the car next to him that was singing off-key with his windows rolled down.

  • How to Stop Socialism in America

    Mark Levin is a nationally-syndicated radio host and conservative commentator.  He has just released a landmark new book, “Liberty and Tyranny:  a Conservative Manifesto.”  

  • Why did Jacksboro candidates fail to make views known?

    Elected officials and those vying for office should not hesitate to answer questions from the public and the media.

    But last week that is what Jackboro’s mayor and some of the board of aldermen, along with one of the challengers competing for office, did.

    Earlier this month sitting board members Avery Burden, Mattie Lou Nance and June Forstner were hand delivered candidate questionnaires from the Press at the town’s monthly meeting. Mayor Jack Cannon was not there but a questionnaire was left for him.

  • Amateur Hour in Washington While America Hurts

    As news about the AIG fiasco began to break late last week, it proved yet again how unprepared Barack Obama is to lead America out of this current economic conundrum.  

  • Priceless treasures

    Author Anthony J. D'Angelo once said, “Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.”

    Have you ever seen that credit card commercial on television that says, “shrimp, $50; a night on the town, $75; having a good time with those you love, priceless.”

    Isn’t it amazing how we take so many important things for granted yet value something that only lasts for a few years and feel we’ve conquered the world?

  • What I learned by doing nothing

    This past weekend, I was in really bad shape.

    I threw my back out due to heavy lifting. It was one of those situations where I didn’t realized I lifted with my back until it was too late. I soon realized I had to meet my deadline for my column. To be honest, I was in so much pain that I wasn’t necessarily in the mood to write another story that would encourage readers to “keep on keeping on,” especially since I was lucky if I could even bend over to touch my shoes without feeling pain.
