    Thanks, Sandy, for all you did for Hillsboro. May you rest in peace with the knowledge and comfort that your family continues your legacy of community service.

    Obama takes the Eisenhower approach
    "The Eisenhower approach," William F. Buckley said, "was designed not to solve problems, but to refuse, essentially, to recognize that problems exist; and so, to ignore them."

    (Alleged) hog farmers, money and politics
    The farmer asked me to ask the Turkey travelers just two questions: 1. Where is this Highland County hog farm operation, so we can all visit it? 2. How did southern Ohio Republicans convince a multitude of Muslims to eat pork?

    The Duke and the King and the Turk
    This part of southern Ohio's state representative can either side with his political allies or explain their obvious shortcomings. Or, most likely, he'll continue his silence in hopes of becoming a speaker. How's that for irony?

    A failure to communicate from the box
    Any man fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell's at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. Any man caught smoking in bed spends a night in the box....

    Politics and government: Nothing ever changes

    If we are ever going to move beyond the attacks – be they political or homicidal – each side is going to have to clean his own house at the local, state and federal levels. Until then, nothing changes. Nothing ever changes.

    The North Platte Canteen
    "During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Neb. on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. This small town, wanting to offer the servicemen warmth and support, transformed its railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war, the Canteen – staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers – was open from 5 a.m. until the last troop train of the day pulled away after midnight."
