This Thursday, April 16th, is Holocaust Remembrance Day. All this week at WKU Owensboro will host a series of events culminating with Holocaust survivor Sonja DuBois speaking Thursday night at 7:00 p.m.

This is probably the most emotional thing you'll see all day, if not this week.

I love these videos!  I get chills every single time I see one and this year's is no exception.  Here's Google's video of what the world searched for online in 2014.  How many of these faces and events do you recall.

When I read about this, and by the way, it's not as bad as it sounds, I immediately thought of a scene from season 4 of The Walking Dead.

It's no secret that if you text and drive, terrible things can happen. We urge you to stop texting and driving! See the gruesome video below. Take the Pogue Distracted Driving Pledge today by clicking here.
