A few things I’d like to know some day: link David Stevens • Who was that girl down in Clovis that Hank Williams Jr. sang about in his 1975 song, “Clovis, New Mexico?” We know she was a green-eyed lady in old jeans that were faded. But did she actually exist, or did Bocephus make her up in the back of a tour bus on his way to a gig in Tulsa, Okla.? • Did a parent-teacher brawl really result in the closing of the Pitchfork school in northern Lea County in the 1940s? The story...
Monday was it, the final night of jokes — high-brow, low-brow and all brows between — for the CBS hit sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” I was disappointed, but not surprised by what link Kevin Wilson occurred Monday night. The finale? Oh, I thought it was great. I was talking about the Internet. The show, for those who have never seen it, is a man telling his children the story of his life, friends and love while promising them for nine years he’d tell them how he met Mom. No s...

Last week was hectic. Not only did the papers on my desk seem to be consuming me, but the clutter at home wasn’t looking any better. link Christina Calloway I maintain the small mess I have but every day last week it seemed to grow.

While Department of Defense civilian and military leaders testify that base grocery stores can survive 20 percent higher prices, and that base... Full story
If the Internal Revenue Service was auditing you, and you whined that getting all the documentation agents wanted was too hard and would take you years, what do you think the response would be? Exactly. Yet that’s the game IRS chief John Koskinen is playing with the U.S. House Government Oversight and Reform Committee. Apparently, turnabout is not fair play in IRS Land. At issue is how the IRS handled applications for tax-exempt status by tea party and other conservative groups, and what Koskinen says will be millions of c...
