    President Obama may not give up office in 2016

    Who is this Michele Travis? Her article has errors in spelling, syntax and grammar. At one point, she uses Marshal law instead of martial law. Does she know the difference? Poorly written, unprofessional gibberish.

    Post mortem on Atlanta's icy gridlock.

    Yes, it was a snow event in Atlanta. The untreated snowfall on highways became compacted into icy patches as cars pressed on. A hard freeze set in overnight. Melt, refreeze. Normal salting and plowing would have been an enormous help. Atlanta isn't Miami. Atlanta gets snow. Atlanta should...

    If not for our strong military and law enforcement, this could be our fate...

    It's more of a defense against inaccurate statements made about coal. It seems your opinions have been shaped by damage done to Canadian forests. The utilities managers who used high sulphur coal are responsible for that event. Why would anyone choose high sulphur coal? Ignorance? Trying to...

    These Canadian plants should not have purchased nor used coal with a high sulphur content. We have burned coal in Kentucky for a hundred years and our forests are fine. 30 or 40 years ago, many public utilities unwittingly or indifferently used high sulphur coal because it sold cheap. Today...

    In the days of our grandchildren's grandchildren, we will still be burning coal for energy. It's abundant, cheap and easily converted for many uses. Obama's stupidity will pass in time. We are in more danger from the longterm effects of Obama's 8 years in office than from coal.
