- Guest Column by U.S. Senator Jim Bunning:
"Tobacco Relief is on the Right Track"
This past week the United States Senate took a step in the right direction to
help Kentucky's tobacco growers. An amendment to the Jumpstart Our Business
Strength (JOBS) Act that passed the Senate calls for a tobacco buyout program
that will finally bring relief to many tobacco farmers nationwide and here in
Kentucky.

KYREPUBLICANS COMMENTARY
- Who Defines the Issues?
by H. B. Elkins
As we get closer to November’s elections, watching the frustration level rise
among Democrats is akin to watching a NASCAR race at Martinsville, Richmond or
Bristol. You just wonder when someone’s temper is going to reach the boiling
point and an explosion results.

- A Changing World
by Ray Whitener
In a prophetic statement issued upon Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's return
from pre-World War II Munich Germany, Winston Churchill proclaimed: "You were
given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have
war." Only a few years later Londoners would be terrorized by buzz bombs flying
toward their native homeland.

- Everybody Is Ignorant, Only On Different Subjects
by Ray Rivera
Talking out of sheer ignorance, swallowing lies and projecting these to others
as ironclad truths is sad and foolish. At some point you shake your head in
disbelief and realize that your opponent is so blinded and determined not to
believe you—despite any evidence produced to counter arguments—that you must
walk away to avoid anger. You marvel at your opponent’s stupidity or naiveté and
you compassionately pray they’ll someday experience a jarring revelation.
