All right for a slow-yet-busy news day. We spent all day working on a story that will see light in a few weeks. We also learned today that Democrats will be quite happy with the outcome of this weekend’s State Central Executive Committee meeting. Real change is coming to the Kentucky Democratic Party and even we won’t have much to complain about.

University of Louisville president Jim Ramsey is considered among a new general of University presidents who are being commended for turning down a bonus. Never mind the fact that the man is already making half a million dollars per year without a bonus. Strangely, there’s no mention of indicted deans anywhere. [ABC News]

Every racist on earth has come out of the woodwork since Barack Obama won the election. More than 200 cross burnings and other fancy incidents have taken place since November 4. And it looks like we’re in for tons more of it. [Christian Science Monitor]

Ruh ro. Tom Burch is being investigated by the Kentucky Legislative Ethics Commission. Burch allegedly wrote a letter to the court of appeals begging special treatment for a constituent involved in a child custody case. We’ll obviously have to see how this all plays out. But. Uh. When will elected officials stop getting themselves into embarrassing situations like this? (And in other news, what happened to that McConnell story on the H-L’s new political site? It conveniently disappeared.) [Bluegrass Politics]

Oooh, yeah, Jefferson, some screaming queens are totally violent. How scary! The mean, flaming homosexuals all queening out! That’s what I’d be afraid of. From what we saw in the video, the cops wouldn’t let the gays walk on the sidewalk– in the homo neighborhood that the Mormons invaded. Your argument is dead, sweet cheeks. I mean, who the eff goes to the CASTRO in San Francisco if they don’t want the queens all fired up? Stupid. FEAR THE GAYS! They’re so mean and powerful! [Lone Supporter of Drunky McDrunk]

More on the Hardin County voter fraud sitchy-ayshun: Folks in-the-know tell us a voting machine allegedly failed and instead of turning the machine off and waiting til the end of the day to count the votes, the machine was opened and ballots were given to a surrogate to re-cast. The clerk apparently admitted this– and there is a recording in the hands of a reporter of a Hardin County newspaper of the whole admission– and all the facts will be released to the media tomorrow.

P.S. Isn’t it hilarious that the GAYEST PERSON ALIVE, Prince, is against gay marriage? He’s more of a homosexual than Michael Jackson is a pedophile– and that’s saying a lot. [Andrew Sullivan]

Also, we love being gay fascists who will ruin your lives and steal your children. It’s like Jim Gooch on a coconut cake. We will steal them and eat them or sell them into the gay homo sex trade. Beware.  From Newt Gingrich, the man with serious moral and ethical fortitude. [Media Matters]
