Great Day Naive
Rachel Platt and I occasionally finish an interview segment on our morning TV show Great Day Live and wonder "Did we just get punked?" It happens.
A toast to Tim Wilson, a gentle Southern soul
Tim Wilson passed away on February 26, 2014 of a massive heart attack. He delighted audiences throughout the midwest and southern states with songs and stories about his crazy life. He was 52 and is survived by his treasured wife Deidre "Sweetie" Wilson and two children from a previous marriage. He sold more than 500,000 comedy CDs and DVDs, stuffed full of historical parodies, songs about hard times, and Southern culture.

Drawing on inspiration
As a little kid, I couldn't wait to open up the Courier-Journal and draw Hugh Haynie's political cartoon. I dreamed of growing up and making a living doing social commentary just like the late Hugh Haynie did. On September 30, 2013, I finally got a chance to peek into the long-vacated political cartoonist office on the Courier-Journal's 3rd floor.

Standing in this little office today, I imagined the swirling creative pressure that bore down on both Haynie and Anderson as deadlines approached. The Frazier History Museum is featuring a Hugh Haynie cartoon exhibit through
