Mad bombers
Countries are known for their cars, their food, their arts or language. The United States is noted for its bombing. We bomb people we like. We have compassionate bombing. If we like you, there is humane bombing where we are trying to help you. Sometimes we even bomb you because we don’t like you. We are very good at bombing. In fact, no one else in the entire world can bomb without our leadership. This is known as our exceptionalism.

What about Bellarmine?
There are many important news events and issues facing us every day, but let's face it - in Kentucky, basketball is a big deal. That's why I was shocked to find that after the Bellarmine University men's basketball team won the NCAA Division II national championship this weekend, the best The News-Enterprise could manage was a small notice buried on page 5 of the sports section.

Union restraint
Unions should be big enough to bargain with the business that hires them, but never big enough to bargain with the whole industry, state or country. That would allow them to hold the country hostage — too much power.
With size limited to the business that hires them, they might bargain for big, excessive wages, which then  would put their business at a disadvantage and require a compromise before they drive their business bankrupt and lose all their jobs. Competition between companies keeps wages and prices in balance.

Faith-based rehab works
I had not heard if any of the Christians in our Kentucky Assembly championed the Christian faith-based programs that have been successful in helping those with drug related/nonviolent convictions overcome their problems. Possibly they didn’t knowing that no matter the evidence the ACLU and much of their counterparts on the liberal side of the political aisle would scream their heads off.
