Sandy has replaced Earl as bartender

Tuesday, June 21, 2022 7:52 PM
To escape the conversation with Sandy, who doesn't understand the King's English as it pertains to pronouns, I walked over to what I thought was the jukebox. I had no idea how to work the machine, nor did I recognize a single song. There were no songs by Hank or Waylon or Willie or Cash or Jones or Haggard or even Kid Rock. What kind of a bar had this become?

  • Gun bills attempt to rewrite U.S. Constitution

    Sunday, June 12, 2022 4:52 PM
    If there's one element of the senators' proposal in which reasonable minds should agree, it's this: Invest in programs to help institute safety measures in and around primary and secondary schools and provide self-defense training to school personnel. Seven years ago, the late Ted Downing as Bright Local Schools superintendent, announced added measures to assist in school safety. He supported staff participation in ALICE training. One more thing: the former superintendent and other responsible adults in the school system were armed. I know for a fact that Ted was. Self-defense instruction and preparation on the local levels are far more essential than overpaid politicians bloviating and pandering ad nauseam on the nightly news.

  • Susie Wagoner, 1953-2022: 'She made everyone feel special'

    Tuesday, June 7, 2022 4:20 PM
    "Susie was always in a good mood with that pretty smile on her face," said her good friend and former co-worker, Gayle Gilliland. "She made everyone feel special. I’m going to miss her like crazy, and so are a lot of others."

  • Inside the mind of a left-wing radical

    Saturday, June 4, 2022 8:17 AM
    Two years and two months ago, the average price of one gallon of gasoline in the state of Ohio was $1.44. I will continue to remind voters of that until the 2022 general election in November. It is a rare day when I vote a straight party-line ballot. As a registered Libertarian for the last nine years, I rarely have candidates in the primary. This November, no Democrat who supports the current administration will have my vote. I might even hold my nose and vote for Mike DeWine.

  • County's 'pending or threatening litigation' stems from 2020; why?

    Wednesday, June 1, 2022 6:12 PM
    How is it possible that "pending or threatening litigation" by the Ohio Department of Taxation against the Highland County treasurer began almost two years ago (in July 2020) and is just now being addressed publicly?

  • Mook makes book on crook; let's take a look

    Monday, May 23, 2022 5:00 PM
    As Hillary likes to say about dead Americans in Benghazi, "What difference, at this point, does it make?" Well, it makes a significant difference. And we're all paying for it every day. Durham may or may not hook any big fish in this never-ending investigation. More likely than not, he'll snag a carp here and there or some other bottom-feeder. But let's give him credit for perseverance – and for avoiding his untimely demise.

  • Cookin' on the Coleman stove

    Monday, May 16, 2022 7:25 PM
    When cooking on the camp stove, the KISS (Keep It Simple, Son) principle is best followed. A well-stocked camp might have a can or two of Canadian bacon, a 10-pound sack of potatoes, a jug of cooking oil, maybe some Campbell's Chunky Soup, and of course, any fresh fish or other game legally or otherwise acquired.

  • Memories from the track – and your gutless wonder

    Sunday, May 8, 2022 8:20 PM
    For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed going to "the track." That's what we called it. Whether it was Latonia (now Turfway Park) in northern Kentucky or River Downs (now Belterra) in Cincinnati's California community, when someone asked my dad and me if we were going to "the track" on a particular summer day, we knew what it meant.

  • '2000 Mules' – if accurate – sheds much-needed light on 2020 election

    Friday, May 6, 2022 5:17 PM
    There has been more than enough speculation of voter fraud in 2020. The only way to address that is for elected officials to be straightforward with the American people. If there's any accuracy in "2000 Mules," this needs to be addressed on the floors of the U.S. House and Senate as well as in state legislatures and secretaries of state offices. Maybe this is why the Biden administration needs a new "Ministry of Truth" or Disinformation Governance Board as his people call it.

  • Spoken words fly away, written words remain

    You may not have any interest in government, but it has an interest in you. You might remember that in November.
