Big honors for my alma mater

My alma mater Alice Lloyd College received major recognition this week. U.S. News & World Report recently named ALC one of the best regional liberal arts colleges in the South. In addition, ALC is the number one Southern college for graduates with the least amount of debt. You can see U.S. News' profile here. WYMT has more here.

I am grateful to God for allowing me to attend Alice Lloyd College. It is indeed "a light unto the mountains."

Poll: Paul leads Grayson by 16; Mongiardo, Conway in virtual dead heat

With six days to go before Kentucky's US Senate primary, a just-released Courier-Journal/WHAS-TV Bluegrass Poll shows that Bowling Green eye doctor Rand Paul leads Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson by a whopping 16 points among likely voters. On the Democratic side, Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo leads Attorney General Jack Conway by only 1 point, setting up a huge battle come Tuesday.

No matter who you vote for, think about this: Countless Americans have bled and died through the centuries so that we could have the right to vote. If you live in Kentucky, please VOTE on Tuesday...and remember our veterans and active duty military when you vote.
