Dear Editor, Bravo for Gil Russell's letter of April 24. We need more patriots to express their views while we still can. We the people need to raise hell until Congress gets out of committee "The Barrett Report. " The Dems worked hard to cover their tracks. That is why it cost $22 million and took 10 years. Go on Google and read what Tony Snow and others said about it. If it had been released, that bunch of crooks would not be there. Lucille ChaneyCitrus Springs, Fla.

Former Kentucky coach Tubby Smith won a national championship with the Wildcats in 1998. He talked about that, his future and part of what he misses about Kentucky since leaving for Minnesota a year ago in the final part of a series. Question: How much longer is Tubby Smith going to keep coaching? Smith: "I never think about retiring. I am so worried about the next day, I don't have time. I do try to plan for that rainy day and hope we have invested in the right things.

I'm not that old. Really. I know I bragged last week about knowing who used to live where, and I sang the praises of small-town life, but I also have two feet planted firmly in the 21st century. I know how to check messages on my cell phone, and my daughter recently coaxed me into text messaging. I even have learned a few tricks with my prediction program.

" The second Google entry comes from the July 16 Lexington Herald-Leader showing that Shewmaker filed for bankruptcy. Shewmaker, 44, a former guidance counselor and athletic director at Mercer County High School, likely will soon have another unflattering mention on the Web after being indicted by a Mercer County grand jury last week on two felony and two misdemeanor counts of stealing money from the high school.

As you know, our son Dan was with us for a great three-day visit. He has lived and worked in China for the past seven years so, and aside from just loving being with him, his stories about living in China are very interesting to us. The differences between living in a poor, terribly cramped, communist country and the spaciousness and materialistic values of the U.S. are huge and, to tell you the truth, I think it is good to be reminded sometimes of...

We found ourselves scratching our heads late on Sunday, after my boyfriend saw an ad for Google's new broadband service, "TiSP," a fully-functional in-home wireless access service that connects each user to fiber-optic cables strung through municipal sewage lines. That's right, folks. To get all that crap we pull off the Internet at broadband speed, you just buy this little gadget and, well, you flush it down the 'ol crapper.
