New Madison Independence Day Parade 2011
By Bob Robinson
Click below for links to 100 photos of the New Madison Independence Day parade and celebration.
Despite 66-year-old exhaustion from the two-day Eagles Celebration
Saturday and Sunday, I wasn’t about to miss what I’ve always thought of
as an American Fourth of July tradition… the Parade. I had two choices…
New Madison’s annual parade or Ansonia’s. Both exemplify Rural America
and I had been to both numerous times in my nine years in Darke County.
I tossed a coin… New Madison won this year… and fortunately one of

The times they are a-changin’
By Jim Surber
Bob Dylan wrote this song about the changes in American society and
anyone old enough to remember the 1960’s can now appreciate its
insight. Technology, and how people use it, may now be laying the
groundwork for the elimination of many things that people have become
very used to. I recently received predictions of nine things that will
be gone in our lifetime. I list them here because they represent very
logical reasoning... Read More. More Opinion. |

Step by Step
By Rich Galen
It is important to remember that these sorts of things are a process.
Just as most of us can’t go up a flight of stairs in one step from the
bottom to the top, a major undertaking like this has to go one - or

In Obamaland, the Past is Irrelevant
By Guy Benson

Agency Girl Goes Wild
By Katie Kieffer
Elizabeth Warren has literally gone wild. No, she did not strip off her
matronly suit on a Girls Gone Wild spring break tour bus. Rather, she
appears to be on a mission to strip Congress, small businesses and
individual Americans of authority by instituting her own rules for how
