As I have been reporting on The ‘Ville Voice, Gilles Meloche — Jerry Abramson’s favorite Metro Animal Services guy — is about to go down for being a corrupt… ugh. [FatLip]
Dan Kelly has made it through the nomination portion of the show. Will he make it through the talent portion? Will he have to twirl a baton? Maybe wear a swimsuit? Let’s have some catty chatter. [Just Wondering]
Guess who we spotted in the big city newspaper? Our pal Brad’s (remember him? he’s that mean guy who said all those mean things about Jerry Abramson and Metro Animal Services’ Gilles Meloche– before it all came to fruition) wife, Nikki. She is a fancy jewelry designer. I’m glad her stuff will never appear here. [C-J & Her Site]
Comment on Kentucky was funny Friday night. Looks like Kim Geveden’s desire to pin the Mongiardo tapes on Conway is backfiring like woah. Cause this issue isn’t gonna die and the press is just gonna keep on keeping on with the discussion of all the nasty things Lt. Dan has said. Wonder if Kim will push another story during the week to draw attention to Whoregate? (I love how “journalists” are afraid to mention that I brought a story to light unless it’s resulting in a federal investigation.) [KET]
Robert Felner’s trial has finally been set for February 1. What a great Groundhog Day birthday gift. Guess we know where I’ll be for three weeks – if it’s open to press – right? [Nancy Rodriguez]
Wildcat Coal Lodge? Really? That sound you hear are my eyes rolling back in my head as I throw up a little in my mouth. [H-L]
Looks like the C-J loves writing about Jim King. Wonder when they’ll start talking about the myriad lawsuits other candidates have been through? Maybe they should be talking about Hal Heiner’s past. Maybe David Tandy’s problems? Maybe Greg Fischer’s equally interesting past? At least there’s one candidate without a past– Tyler Allen. [Joe Gerth]
On Saturday, President Barack Obama declared a national emergency with respect to the 2009 H1N1 pig flu pandemic. WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE OF THE PIG FLU AND THE POVERTY! OH NOES! [Press Release]
Some teabaggers and a former stripper had a liberty party at Lexington Christian Academy. And the results were hilarious. [Barefoot & Progressive]
But more importantly? Check out this story about Rand Paul’s freedom rally or whatever. Rand Paul says Barack Obama is just like Adolf Hitler (really), praised Glenn Beck, said mountaintop removal doesn’t harm neighboring lands, hated on the gays, and riled up the machine gun crowd. Yet people like Ed Martin and David Adams think he’s a genius because he’s so libertarian and a fiscal genius or whatever. [More B&P]
The best part of this story about Ernie Fletcher: “Glenna answered the door while talking on a hands-free cell phone device.” HAHAHA. Cell phone device. Hahaha. What year is this, again, kids? [State-Journal]
The 2010 budget negotiations in Frankfort are going to strangle the Commonwealth to death. We’re gonna have to turn the lights off and starve our elected “leaders.” Tax reform is going to be necessary. But don’t hold your breath, kids, cause Frankfort will not wake up to reality. Ever. [Tom Loftus]

“Frauds and Fools at Belknap”
Finally, little man Felner, now smaller in stature than any groundhog, will be coming to trial on Feb. 1. It will be a Jake extravaganza, with highlights in The Chronicle of Higher Education–spotlighting one of the biggest frauds in U.S. academic history, and done right here at the UofL. Under the noses of the foolish, money-hungry Card honchos.

Look at the bright side, Blobby. You and Tommy Dearest will be able to spend one last Valentine’s Day together. You’ll get to wear your favorite color, red, and I’m sure the judge will let you exchange heart shaped candies, “How Do I Love Thee” cards…and maybe even hugs. Just too sweet. In fact, I’m getting weepy.
After that? Your heart belongs to Bubba.

“Bear It Good, Blobby”
Nice to see you back in good form, ed. How about a Valentine’s Day card contest for the Bobster? Here is the first entry:
One more Valentine’s Day free.
No happiness after that to be.
Bubba is salivatin’ already.
Dreamin’ of makin’ Blobby his Teddy.
–from one of 70 CEHD faculty who pray for the kind of “equity & social justice” Felner gave us all.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

Felner trial should be open to the public/press, Jake. Federal courts don’t allow any recording in their court, though, so you can’t take in the cell phones, computer, etc.

You probably knew that but just wanted to let any other possible attendees know, too.

Hmmmm…..so it looks like you’ll HAVE to hide the camera in your glasses and the microphone in a cuff link!! :)
Your mission….should you decide to accept it…

Can’t blame EF for not wanting anything to do with the Kentucky press. He really ought to give this state a big razzberry and move to a state with no income tax, so they don’t get any of his money after they sucked on his blood for four years.

Feb. 1 is good for it will show the continuing cowardice and lack of integrity at the helm of UofL- clearer than ever before.
For those of us still stuck here at CEHD, the wannabe dean remains, buddy of JR with no credentials in higher ed to speak of, embarassing the educational community and our students locally and nationally with a soft inbred degree and no publications that matter…..pretending to be a real dean. He could not even be tenured at a lesser place.
The faculty voices remains silenced even at the dept level that started it all with the appointment of yet another unqualified wife of a former dean and insider who again is a faking as a dept.head without sig. academic credentials, nor earned tenure- just violations after violations of what little self regulation exists in higher education.
This is Shirley’s reform?
These 2 examples of malpractice persist because of the lack of voice in the faculty body, the lack of faculty governance due to the ongoing presence of the top 2 bullies and their
financial supporters on the Board of Distrustees.
so nothing much changes in a climate of learned helplessness.
Who appoints these clowns?
so finally, a dim voice is heard- who wrote this? ;
“The world of higher ed will start taking you seriously when the two of you stop with the “anonymous crap” and actually begin to right the wrongs at the University of Louisville. Until the two of you do just that, we will continue to advocate for you to be grilled before various State House and Senate committees. And we’ll push legislation that forces you to be responsible if you’re unable to do so on your own.”
Since the Gov. does not care about ethics in this state institution, perhaps the various State House and Senate Committees will be the ones to clean up this sad place and restore some better practices and follow procedures with ethics and academic excellence in mind.
Are we there yet?
