Back in the day... A redhead bombshell and a Cuban bandleader set the world on fire. Then they set TV ablaze, enabling some of the greatest blockbusters of the 60s, before inspiring a girl who could turn the world on with her smile and her producer husband, enabling some of the greatest blockbusters of the 70s and 80s.

Did you know that government agents are, like government agencies, restrained by the Constitution of the US? And di...

LAST MINUTE MUCH? Kentucky's general election ballot for 2022 includes a constitutional amendment that has everyone picking sides: whether courts should be able to find anything in Kentucky's Constitution that would permit abortion of any type.
