AMonger.... decadence is having its day. You need to find another social issue as homosexuality is being mainstreamed by the popular culture. The liberals in the entertainment industry and politics have pushed it through. For fear of not being liked by the media, conservative politicians have...

I would challenge you to take a polygraph and voice stress test under immediate threat of beheading or paralysis. Can you be sure the polygraph examiner is infallible or above corruption? A trial by jury with the Constitutional right to a vigorous defense is still the best crucible.

Giving credit where due, YNLHA was written by Darrell Scott( born in London,KY). The original artist must be very proud how his work has been received. Here is Mr. Scott singing his song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Su06XlGI-w8.html

Patty Loveless is a sentimental favorite of mine as both she and I were born in Pike County, KY and grew up in coal mining villages about 10 miles apart. Chances are very good our fathers knew each other. Patty's version of YNLHA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n57WBtvtC4.html Brad...

This song has strong appeal across different genres. Here's "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" as performed by Los Angeles based singer/songwriter Ruby Friedman. I like it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiE_Bk8FOY0

This is what real talent sounds like. The vocals are spot on and the young girls' musicianship is first rate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjC2Z-GaABU.html

More from Kappa and her daughters as Turn the Page gets a little Bluegrass seasoning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYu8ir27nqs.html

Little did I know as I made deliveries in Whitesburg, KY that several college students from the Philadelphia area had become lost on Pine Mountain. It appears their mistake was not allowing enough time to get down from the mountain before darkness fell. All ended well. Lost college...

Part of the route I now cover includes Harlan,KY. Deliver lots of 55 gallon drums of DEF for coal trucks and gigantic pieces of earth-moving equipment which use DEF. The coal industry uses vast amounts of industrial gases, special grade oils and lubricants trucked in nightly by drivers such as...

I'm out. My wanderlust has been sated. I have given 12 good years to expediting and it has been an interesting odyssey to say the least. I am at a stage in life where priorities are shifting. Burn out was beginning to set in as I found myself dreading the expedite grind rather than looking...

We cannot possibly know the accuracy of this statement.

Given that Obama is the 44th US President, this poll shows him finishing behind all others. I say this poll is legit.

This is an interesting thread. My wife has been a BSN/RN for 25 years. Putting a patient at ease is unquestionably the best thing to do. We don't have to like it or understand it. If obtaining the optimal outcome in patient care is the objective, catering to the vulnerable and ill makes...

When I think about the state of technology available in 1942, it is stunning what engineers could do and could not do. By 1945, our scientists and engineers produced the atomic bomb... but just 3 years earlier, they weren't providing military aviators with sufficient heat for cold weather...

Indeed, it is very cold at 30,000 feet which is roughly equivalent to standing atop Mount Everest (elevation 29,029 feet). Again, this photo shows my Dad dressed for cold weather flight per US Army custom in 1942. http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o795/jmpky/Scan0057_zps986983de.jpg

The States got placed under the federal thumb by ceding power to Washington. Washington should never cede any authority to the United Nations, unless our nation's sovereignty no longer matters. The UN is on a march to make itself the ultimate governing body; to sit in judgment of all nations...

It appears likely GWB took the US to war in Iraq primarily to even an old score with Saddam Hussein. Unfortunately, the weapons of mass destruction( given as causus belli) never really materialized. In the emotional furor immediately following the Sept 11th attacks, many Americans were...

I find Christie to come across as hostile, emotionally fragile and going out of his way to annoy conservatives. He's overcompensating for some issue. Christie is a bonafide liberal on social and cultural concerns. Since the current Republican Party establishment no longer wishes to pursue...

A highly trained sniper is an invaluable resource on the battlefield and in the war against terror. By eliminating high-value bad guys, Mr. Kyle saved countless lives. We civilians don't have access to classified information, but if our military deemed it necessary to place a terrorist on a...

This Youtube video shows portions of the Feds Creek area in Pike County, KY. Many of my childhood classmates made the dangerous school bus ride along Lick Creek Road, across Pompey Mountain, across Ferrells Creek Gap and several other roads really unfit for bus traffic. Most roads had no...
