How much money can Kentucky legislators spend on a fancy conference trip? At least $135,000. [John Cheves]

Eric Crawford deserves treats and candy for delivering this gem to his readership! He received an anonymous voicemail from a UK fan who thinks Calipari should be “fared” for sending a University of Kentucky Wildcats jersey to Barack Obama. [Eric Crawford]

Billy Gillispie checked into rehab. It’s the trendy thing to do these days.  But good on him for taking this necessary step in life. [WKYT]

Dear idiotic parents: you make everyone want to puke. [Stephen George]

    “Mitch Never Pulls the Trigger”

    Mitch, you’re always playing the “no change until hell freezes over” game. Yapping about “junk lawsuits” is just another way to nibble at the edges of your jockey briefs–and failing to tackle the heart of health care problems. We know you don’t give a rat’s ass about health care for anyone but yourself, the Empress, other close relatives, drug and health industry lobbyists, and your other big-money buddies who need or want no changes in our #37 in the world health system (of course, it may be #1 for those of you who can afford the “best” care). You are a disgraceful representative for the average Kentuckian and American.

    “Meloche Should Resign.” HOLY FREAKING MOTHER OF GOD I’ve been waiting for someone to say that out loud!!! (would say it myself but circumstances have been preventing that… though that too may soon end.) OMG – can we please start a petition for Meloche to resign?!

    general assembly waste of tax dollars is non-ending whether it’s refurbishing and expanding office space, taking meaningless junkets or having staff sitting around all day reading books, magazines and watching tv. i’m sick and tired of it but apparently i’m in the minority.

    United Way–YUK… That’s where U of L gives my money in their name. And they expend $$$ for organization parties etc…
    I prefer to give my $$$ directly to the person/organization that I fancy to include in my tithe…
