  • Protecting military voters

    I want to thank Allison Lundergan Grimes for standing up for Kentucky’s military. Our military members make tremendous sacrifices to protect our rights and they deserve our best efforts to preserve their right to vote. It’s refreshing to see an elected official making that effort. I hope members of the General Assembly will join Secretary Grimes in standing up for the military and pass Senate Bill 1 as it was originally filed.

  • The science of modern medicine

    I would never pretend to possess any of the sacred knowledge reserved for the inner sanctum of modern medicine.
    Nor would I ever fool myself into believing I have the stamina for the pressure doctors experience on a daily basis.

    I was reading one of the blogs I follow and an article caught my attention: Are Self-Employed People Entrepreneurs or Slackers? The author had attended a networking event and been told by a recruiter that “self-employed people are just people who can’t find work or keep a job anywhere else.”

  • God, the flag and our money

    Michael Duncan

    I confess to having some “bad” thoughts. Facebook is the cause. I don’t spend a lot of time on Facebook. Mostly I scan through some time during the day to see if any of my friends have posted anything interesting.

    There are some interesting things on Facebook, including some photos I had rather not seen.  But more often than not, it is the comments that friends post that bother me.

  • The House wasted no time moving ahead

    Under the rules that govern odd-year legislative sessions, much of the General Assembly’s work doesn’t begin until February and it ends about a week before the start of March Madness.  With four days set aside in January for organizational matters and one or two days in late March used to consider any vetoes, that leaves about 25 days to cover what is often a long agenda.

  • Ducks don’t argue for a moral responsibility

    I can’t stand some of the things my tax money gets spent on.
