First, how hilarious is it that Daniel Mongiardo announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate today but wouldn’t make himself available for television interviews?
The Hill thinks Crit Luallen is a man. It’s almost like they don’t know how to use the Google machine. And they obviously don’t know how to check their own archives for interviews that clearly state she’s a female. Nice job. [The Hill]
The Kentucky Folklife Program is collecting documentation of inaugural celebrations. It, along with the American Folklife Center, would like to receive a copy of recordings made between January 16 and January 25 to include in their collection of President Barack Obama’s inauguration records. Visit this site for required forms and mailing regulations to be submitted by February 26.

Governor Beshear is asking all state agencies for a 6.7% budget cut. This is getting nightmarish. [Mark Hebert]
The Kentucky Club for Growth links to our story about J. Marshall Hughes and says he’ll hold the line on taxes. Unfortunately, KCG neglects to mention that Hughes has a major problem paying his own taxes and has had several government liens placed against him. Isn’t it boldly hypocritical to link to the story and avoid mentioning the content of the story itself? [KCG]
Joe Sonka was able to sum up Daniel Mongiardo’s campaign of homophobia and love of mountaintop removal in under 100 words. And it is, indeed, great news that Kim Geveden is running the show. [Barefoot & Progressive]
And the dirty librul media barons at LEO are reminding readers of Daniel Mongiardo and his past foibles. [LEO's FatLip]
Can we put this rumor to rest? Andrew Horne is not running for the U.S. Senate. [BlueGrassRoots]
Governor Steve Beshear and the University of Louisville today announced a gift to create a renewable energy research center at the University. $20 million from Henry and Rebecca Conn. Henry Conn is a “senior executive advisor for corporations” and previously worked with A.T. Kearney, Tarkenton Conn & Co and TRW, Inc. [Stephenie Steitzer & C-J]
It’s ten years later and the first hand transplant still works. Rick has all the details from today’s press conference at Jewish Hospital. [The 'Ville Voice]
OMG. Watch the Blagojevich clip from The View today if you get a chance. Joy Behar roughed him up and then messed up his hair! She tried to get him to do an impression of Richard Nixon. “I am not a crook!” I knew I watched these hateful ladies for a reason. That reason is today. [Huffington Post]
A large group of citizens in Lexington are urging Lexington Vice Mayor to run for Mayor in 2010. Join the Facebook group. [Jim Gray in 2010]

Jim Gray has had plenty of chances to do or at least say something about the many problems at the Fayette County Detention Center. He has chosen to stand by quietly instead. He would easily be better than Newberry, but I think someone even better is likely to come along. Maybe Beshear will take Newberry to Frankfort to be his running mate in 2011.

“A Gift for Now & the Ages”
The mammoth gift from Mr. & Mrs. Conn to create a renewable energy center at UofL is a present that is exceptionally useful to humankind (I applaud that kind of grant). Indeed, it befits Obama’s emphasis on greening the economy as vital to our national and global security and survival. AS Bob Marley says, “Give thanks and praises.” We do that, in deep gratitude, for the Conns’ enormous generosity.

If you look on Mongiardo’s FEC Filings his address is listed as a medical center….seems to me that there was a little problem with people mixing their business with their campaign life in last years senate primary
4 Also // Jan 26, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Its only listed on the people who the campaign owes a debt or has a outstanding loan

If someone told you that there was a married couple with the names of Crit and Lynn Luallen, which one would you think is the female and which one would you think is the male?

The Luallen thing is great fun, but better is the fact that we yet have another Dem Little Gov running for Senate without his Gov’s endorsement. People, this happened about 10 years ago… anyone else recall it?
