Bruce Lunsford tells the truth about Greg Fischer’s big name supporters. Finally. It’s hilariously true. Christie & Owsley will probably try to raise a million or two for McConnell to get political revenge. “It kind of centers around four or five families and a few progressives, and the rest of the state, especially outside of Louisville, barely know who they are,” Lunsford said of Fischer’s campaign. “It’s more of an east-end, upper-echelon, second- and third-generation crowd.” Hrm. And another disconnected individual gets upset at Bruce because they don’t like reality. [The Hill, Ditch Mitch]

In the wake of the controversy/disagreement/whatever surrounding the Council on Postsecondary Education and Governor Beshear, Brad Cowgill has resigned. Regardless of your personal opinion, now Steve Beshear gets what he a wants– a national search for Cowgill’s replacement. [Hebert]

With stories like these, we’re not sure how Holocaust education isn’t mandated in all of Kentucky’s schools. Without it we’ll continue to have genocidal maniacs like those in Darfur, Rwanda and Nazi Germany. [C-J, C-J]

This has nothing to do with Kentucky, but check out this Greene County (MO) Sheriff’s comments on former “American Idol” contestant Jason Yeager. “The way I hear Jason sing the national anthem makes you want to go out and kill a communist,” Merritt said. “If that doesn’t make you patriotic, nothing will.” HAHAHAHA. What. [News-Leader]

    Umm, Sheriff? You do realize that the only thing standing between the entire U.S. economy and total destruction is hundreds of billions of investment dollars from China, don’t you?

    That’s COMMUNIST China, funding your JOB, chump.

    Forget IDs to vote. I say bring back tests – not on literacy, just current fucking events.

    Why not trade with Red China? Both the U.S. and China are degenerate these days with regards to human rights. Two peas in a pod.
