It’s Only Tuesday & Legislators Are Confused & Mad

June 16th, 2009 · 2 Comments

We’ve got a wonderful give-away contest involving five copies of The Complete Guide to Kentucky State Parks going on through Friday. Clicky clicky to enter to win. [Page One]

Is this really what the citizens of Prospect want police to waste their tax dollars on? A case against an old couple who put up a small fence around their garden to keep the deer out? Fining them for using tomato cages and bird netting? And taking out a lien on their home? Really? What a damn embarrassment the once-great suburb of Louisville has become. [C-J]

Heard on the radio this morning: “She talks straight and isn’t afraid to handle the tough issues.” & “Joni’s one of the stars.” [Francene on Rep. Joni Jenkins]

Again, this makes it really tough for us to believe Trey Grayson isn’t going to be the next Republican candidate for U.S. Senate when Jim Bunning drops out of the race. [Corbin Times Tribune]

What Pam says. It’s time to tell Howard Dean, Tammy Baldin and others to do the right thing. [Pam's House Blend]

Jim Bunning is publicly attacking David Williams. Called him a big fish in a small pond. [WLKY]

Read the rest after the jump…

Dear Herald-Leader: Steven Adkins wasn’t a Mt. Sterling man. He was a Morgan County/West Liberty man. You need to run a correction and do a better job of relaying accident information like this. Why screw around when you don’t have the complete story? Full disclosure: Steven is our cousin. [H-L]

The citizens of Lynch, Kentucky need your help. Only you can help them protect their water supply against improper coal mining practices. [Barefoot & Progressive]

Um, sorry, but 50 people at a Republican fundraiser in Corbin is a lot. [Whomever Runs Brett Hall's Website]

Funny how it’s legal to fire the gays in most of Kentucky but it’s illegal to fire someone who smokes. [CJ]

Have you been following this Karen Sypher mess? Or the Javanon scandal that threatens to take down everyone and their mother? [The 'Ville Voice: Spyher & Javanon]

Something really has happened in Iran. [HuffPo]

The mainstream media is still silent on the huuuuge “gift” Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao hid during the 2008 U.S. Senate campaign. [Page One]

    As long as the gay community doesn’t go so far as to distract away from the health care legislation (that’s honestly far more important than getting marriage rights tomorrow instead of the next day), then protest away.

    Wow – never really seen the fight for civil rights and the fight for human rights pitted against one another in a pissing contest before. I hope never to again.
