Today's Opinions

  • Political correctness gone astray

    During the last nine or 10 years, we as Americans have become victims of political correctness by our government. We have continued to argue about the process of how to handle those that have been captured and where they are to be housed. We have been told that these attacks are nothing more than man caused disasters, and we cannot even use the word terrorist as it may create problems with the culture of hate and those responsible. Apparently we have not learned anything from history. It is important to look at history because it may give us some clues to the future.

  • More important business to handle

    At a time when our state and country face a lot of important issues, it seems some of our government officials are finding more ways to concern themselves with things besides our government.

    In looking through area newspapers recently, I discovered just how unimportant some of the business is that is being addressed by our legislators.

    Did you know some lawmakers made a motion recently in Kentucky’s General Assembly to enshrine former UK basketball coach Joe B. Hall in the Basketball Hall of Fame?

  • Low-hanging pants need to come up

    My high school days saw a lot of bad choices. Most concerned my clothing or my hair.

  • Weddings and marriage

    “When you’re married you should never go to bed mad -- stay up and fight.”

    - Phyllis Diller

    June is traditionally the month for marriages.  This ain’t June, but I’m so tired of freezing my . . .  hands off in the cold weather that all I do is think about June.  Global warming, my Aunt Franny!  What a gullible bunch of people we are.  I’m cold!  

    Anyway, I love big weddings.

  • A doggone shame

    Let me start this column by saying that I, by no means, am a perfect pet owner.

    I don’t give my pets their vaccines exactly when I’m supposed to. I don’t give my dog baths as often as I should. I don’t brush my cats regularly (my mom does, however). And, I’m sad to admit it, but I don’t play with my pets as often as I should. Believe me, I feel horrible about that last one. In fact, just writing it makes me feel ashamed. But, like I said, I’m not a perfect pet owner.

  • Sen. Higdon reports from Frankfort

    The first week of the General Assembly was a busy one with about 300 bills filed, committee assignments distributed, and the Governor’s State of the Commonwealth Address.

    I have been assigned to the Appropriations and Revenue Committee, the Education Committee, the State and Local Government Committee, and the Transportation Committee.  In addition, I am pleased to report that I have been appointed the Chairman of the Budget Review Subcommittee on Transportation.

  • A most holy house

    But the angel said to them, “Fear not. I bring you tidings of great joy that will be for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”

    Luke, Chapter 2, Verse 10 and 11

     

    When God sends us help, he’s always chosen to do it the same way.  It’s by sending someone just like you or me.  He did it with Abraham, he did it with Moses, he did it with David, and most of all he did it with his only son, Jesus Christ.

  • Coach's talk doesn't match his walk

    Urban Meyer, the head football coach at the University of Florida, shocked the Gator Nation last weekend by announcing that he was leaving the Gator program for health reasons.

    Meyer had been complaining of stress-related chest pains and he said it was time for him to spend more time with his family.

    What shocked me most was not the fact that he resigned; after all, his teams have won two national championships and he clearly is one of the best coaches in the country.

    What disturbed me most is the disconnect between his Christian faith and what he actually does.
