Let’s just make one thing clear, I hate shopping. I don’t care what it’s for, what I’m buying or where I’m buying it from, I loathe it.
If foreign governments meddling in our 2016 general election is news to you, then I’m not sure how much fruit could be borne by reading further. It is a well settled fact, acknowledged by every political faction worth mentioning, that Russia (and Israel, Iran, Ukraine, North Korea…) interfered in our most recent presidential election. Some say “meddled,” others, “intervened.”

(Columnist’s Note: I sincerely wish this reprint from 2015 weren’t still timely and relevant today, but, alas, now that the east side Kroger has 12 different entrances into its parking lot, I fear this is an even more necessary holiday message.)

BARBOURVILLE — While many give credit to Daniel Boone for blazing the trail to Kentucky, Boone wasn’t the first European to discover the Commonwealth. Dr. Thomas Walker wasn’t the first European to discover Kentucky either, but he was the first to record his findings, and he and his crew were the first to build a log cabin in Kentucky.

Happy Thanksgiving! As you’ve read and heard all too often this week, and as you know well even without the constant mantra, it is a time to give thanks. I am so very grateful for many people, countless experiences, whatever skills and abilities I have, and constant opportunities. It’s really too much to take in without giving short shrift to the lion’s share of life. Yet I ponder on it and try to understand.
GLASGOW — Though legislation has been pre-filed in Frankfort requesting Kentucky be placed on permanent Daylight Saving Time, action is required at the federal level before states can vote on the issue.
Gather around all of my culinarily-challenged friends, I have a treat for you. As we prepare ourselves for a day full of family, turkey, and football let us also take time to remember the real reason for the holiday: thankfulness that our family members can cook, because we sure can’t.
Hair pulling, elbow shoving and towel throwing — this is the legacy of Black Friday. Fighting to get new treasures immediately after we give thanks seems ironic. Yet each year, many Kentuckians go out and explore the sales. As the day inches up on us once more, I decided to find out exactly what draws people to the madness.
Thanksgiving, sometimes called "Turkey Day," is family time in Pulaski County. However, first responders stand ready to protect as always, eating and visiting with family members in whatever spare time they can find.

It never fails. Each year around Thanksgiving I tend to get a little sad. I'm reminded of a time when my family would load up the car, including my tiny Pappaw and head up I-75 to Louisville to spend Thanksgiving with my aunt Jenny and uncle Shelby.
I don’t do a whole lot of cooking throughout the year other than to bake some chicken for my work lunches or pour a bowl of cereal for breakfast. But around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, I enjoy getting in the kitchen to try out new recipes.

November is National Novel Writing Month and features an internet writing project, aimed at producing a manuscript before month’s end.

Last week's foray into America's newest impeachment imbroglio was, objectively speaking, fascinating to those who truly care about our country. It really makes no difference what side of the political aisle you find yourself on. The fact is that this political process rarely raises its head and I believe that we can learn from it, and eventually leave it behind us having introduced some positive impact on our nation. It's ugly. There's a level of gamesmanship that is hopefully unfamiliar to you. And, when it distills down to he-said-she-said playground shenanigans, we just know that there's something untoward going on amongst those elected politicians that should reflect the cream of the American crop. Despite the negatives though I still think it can create good effects.
Impeachment, abortion, Colin Kaepernick and Jeffrey Epstein — these topics and people are the most important issues facing our nation, right?
