That’s right - Gilles Meloche compared his tight relationship with Jerry Abramson to “gay love.” No, I am not making this up. Check out his other bigoted remarks. [WLKY’s Andy Alcock]
I’ll whore it out one last time: if you missed me on Francene yesterday, listen to me on the internets. Don’t try to count the number of times I said “apparently” in 15 minutes or your head might explode. HUZZUH! [Jake Was On Francene’s Radio Machine]

UK students are none too happy. Coal compromises the Kentucky’s ability to move forward and change its negative national reputation. [Kernel]
David Williams is a whiny ass titty baby. Just as he was beginning to dig himself out of a hole, no less. If he wants to shove Christmas down my throat? I’ve got something he can kiss. Not every Kentuckian worships Jesus and this man needs to offing realize it. Absolutely offensive. The one time Steve Beshear doesn’t screw up and David Williams has to cry about it. [C-J]

No one outside KY really cares what the heck the UK names a dorm. Very few folks care here in the Commonwealth. It is essentially a non-issue. Universities have been selling out for a long time. If UK can play in a building named for Adoph Rupp, they can easily have a dorm named after the coal industry.

No one cares… but national media outlet after national media outlet is talking about it.
No one cares… but hundreds of students, faculty and donors at the University of Kentucky are outraged.

Everyone east of I-75 and south of I-64 should stop supporting Lexington economically. Shop in Huntington, Charleston, Kingsport or Knoxville. Use the doctors and hospitals there. Send their kids to school there. If they go to UK games, fill up with gas and eat somewhere along the way. Coal money not only fuels the economy of SE Kentucky, but it plays a big role in Lexington too. Take away the money that eastern Kentuckians spend in Lexington and that city wouldn’t be nearly as big as it is now.

For the sake of saving money and not spending it on a lot of useless crap, can we skip a Christmas? A lot of us could use the relief.
