    Return the Magesterial Eight

    We need more representation in our Hardin County government. We need magistrates who will represent specific districts within Hardin County. The greater the population is, the greater the representation should be. This is one of the basic principles on which our country was founded.

    War on Terror a failure

     When the Twin Towers collapsed, Osama Bin Laden walked off the playing field like a Super Bowl winner. Every day we spend in Iraq and Afghanistan is another win for Bin Laden. The War on Terror is a failure.

    After seven years of Republican leadership, Bin Laden is free, we have more than 4,000 dead and several thousands wounded.

    It’s not ‘just the economy, stupid’

    Sherry Kelley continues to use the time honored hogwash from the Democratic Playbook. “It is the economy, stupid.” Then she states that Republicans always change the subject.

    Had Ms. Kelley read my letter correctly, I answered the economic problem. It has been caused by the Democratic victory in 2006. Like I said, the stock market was over 14,000 and climbing. Housing foreclosures were unheard of. Gas was about $2 a gallon. Our country was the envy of every other nation on earth.

  • PREP FOOTBALL: Fort Campbell hammers Fort Knox in Army Bowl (10/5)

    The News-Enterprise FORT KNOX — A mismatch on paper turned out to be a mismatch on the gridiron, too. The Fort Campbell Falcons, the defending Class 2-A state champions, went on the road Friday night and hammered the winless Fort Knox Eagles, 70-0 in the 33rd Army Bowl, a match-up of the nation’s only remaining Department of Defense high schools.

    Committed to Republicans

    In August, Sen. Mitch McConnell tried to determine if there was a point at which the Democrats would agree to drill on America's outer continental shelf. His efforts were to get Democrats to vote on a measure that would open up such drilling if the price of gasoline reached a certain level. Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado objected to offshore drilling even if gas hits $10 a gallon. Not one Democrat on the floor that day spoke up for McConnell's measure.

  • Maybe it's harder these days to see the glass is half full

    SLICE OF LIFE By JEFF D'ALESSIO

    On the last day of last year, I vowed that I would change and be a more positive me.

    I was certain/convinced/desperate that I would be swayed to becoming a “glass is half full’’ kind of guy instead of a, “half of it is gone already?” kind of guy.

    It was the new me.

    Well, for about a week or two, it worked — about the lifespan of most New Year's resolutions.

    Bring back magistrates

    The present commissioner’s form of government, with all voters selecting each commissioner and the county judge-executive, assures us that the rural parts of the county will not be represented. The urbanities, which represent the majority of the population, will always have the final word.
