CNN is a joke. They have begun filling several prime time news hours with reality shows such as Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain. CNN cannot compete for viewership with Fox News. The Nielson ratings show CNN consistently gets badly beaten in ratings. In the 1980's and 90's, CNN had...

Shooting a dog was traumatic for me. Still bothers me, 30 years later.

Once upon a time, in the early 1980's, I had to shoot and kill a feral dog that was terrorizing children and adults in our rural village. After that shooting, I gave up hunting and fishing for a very long time. Obviously, this dog had never been allowed to develop socialization with humans...

Cops who work the streets in American cities face an onslaught of violence and ugliness most cannot imagine nor endure. Society delegates to police officers the thankless tasks pampered civilians shy away from. Many who boldly ridicule and demean our law enforcement officers will not hesitate...

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri The airport screenings for Ebola are insufficient. An American physician, Dr. Craig Spencer, returned to the US after working with Ebola patients for 30 days in West Africa. Spencer passed through the...

The costs associated with crime are quite high to everyone involved, including the perp, the victims and society at large. Incarceration isn't cheap. Lives are often ruined, families destroyed and once promising futures are altered. Individuals who harm others through crime place an enormous...

Canadian Prime Minister had no reluctance in calling the Ottawa shooting an act of terrorism. Canada is well served by having a man of strong character in leadership. It gives folks in the USA someone to admire. Thankfully, the sergeant-at-arms had access to a firearm and was able to stop...

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri What makes Ebola so frightening to the Western world? That it is exotic? That Ebola has the capacity to spread exponentially? The 50-70% mortality rate? That Ebola has the ability to overwhelm a nation's...

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Look at how much disruption and anxiety has been caused in the United States by just one Ebola death, the late Mr. Duncan, who flew into the US by way of Brussels. Imagine the chaos, fear and turmoil if we...

Two more Eubanks settlement checks arrived for me on Monday here in MBSC. Two checks last year plus two checks this year brings total to nearly $1100.

Would it be good public policy for our government to impose a temporary travel ban to and from Western African nations, such as Liberia, where the Ebola virus is rampant? Is our federal government overstating the ability of the US healthcare system to deal immediately and effectively with...

I fail to see humor related to ebola in any context.

Reassign every Secret Service agent who was on duty at the White House at the moment of the breach. There are no sufficient excuses for this kind of collapse in security at the President's residence in broad daylight.

Why wasn't the Oklahoma ex-con who beheaded a female co-worker last week still in jail? He had previously assaulted a female state trooper. This man had demonstrated a propensity to violence and a particular hostility toward women. It was an argument where he advocated the stoning of women...

No, in hindsight I think I would prefer gas engine to diesel powered CV's. I accumulated nearly 1.5 million miles on various Ford E-350's. These engines were unbelievably reliable, but heavy. If I recall correctly, there was a 900 LB. weight disparity between the 7.3L diesel and an...

The amazing thing about Audie Murphy's personal character was his bravery under enemy fire as demonstrated over and over on the battlefield. This skinny, soft-spoken kid was a natural born killer of Nazi soldiers. Audie Murphy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
