I'd much rather see Rogers or Davis run, or even Ron Lewis come out of retirement to run, but Whitfield'll do in a pinch. Much better than either Grayson or Farmer.

He contacted someone on the internet who he believed may have some information on Heather. Turns out it was Heather doing counter-trolling and she played him like a cheap violin for weeks, saying she was an ex-friend of Heather’s who could give him dirt in exchange for cash. I managed to bust him on video at the Murray, KY parade as he pranced in front of Whitfield’s float. I also confronted him about operating his personal, for-profit website on government equipment and he looked ill. It’s an interesting video, you should see it. Jim Pence has it.

There is, however, some speculation that people can do by registering Web site domain names using the names of elected officials. Then, they offer to sell those names for a profit. For example, the Web site "www.kentucky.com" was such a speculation Web site that Knight-Ridder paid some guy almost $10,000 for in the late 1990s.

Jason sure is all about those collectible toy tractors, isn't he? No problem with that -- we all need hobbies. But running it from Whitfield's office? Feh -- not a good move. As for the $800+ for the domain names -- do these people not see the "GoDaddy.com" ads? You can get a domain AND a basic site for less than dinner at {insert fancy restaurant name here}. $800? Nice work if you can get it. Home sick — time to write a little and comment a little …
