Thursday Afternoon of Gas Station Governing

November 19th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Dear Gas Station Governor: over-hyping a story about a garden will not take the focus of your corrupt firing practices. Nor will it take the focus off your ignorance of tax policy in both the Commonwealth and the United States of America. [Press Release]

Steve Nunn pleaded not guilty to murdering Amanda Ross, the young woman he killed, in Lexington. [McClatchy]

A press release about Christmas trees arriving at the Capitol used the word “Christmas” nine times. The Gas Station Governor’s office is going out of its way (sensitive much?) to use Christmas every five seconds. [Press Release]

Let’s order a whole bunch of these for Gas Station Governor Steve Beshear for consistently caving to King Coal and for never, ever developing a fall-back plan in case expanded gambling dies… for a third time. [Manties!]

The baby jeebus in the golden diaper wept because Dear Santa letters are no more. [USA Today]

La Voz and Al Dia are going broke so the two publications are joining forces to share staff. Meanwhile, their public relations firm is spinning the new partnership as “quality enhancement.” It’s nice that the two operations will continue to exist. But let’s not put lipstick on a pig. [Press Release]

Fear and snoring at Jim Newberry’s campaign kick-off event? Hoo boy. Apparently blogging is a form of heckling and Mayor Dingleberry can’t handle it. Bloggers are very dangerous and must be watched by security guards at all times. [Barefoot & Progressive]

Poor Sarah Palin doesn’t know the difference between Iran and Iraq. [Wonkette]

Also, Sarah Palin says the flying spaghetti monster intended for everyone to eat animals because he made them out of meat. Seriously. Not making it up. [Slate]

Here’s video evidence that Daniel Mongiardo is anti-choice. [Barefoot & Progressive]

    Shouldn’t you change that title about Steve Nunn to ….. the young woman he “allegedly” killed, in Lexington.

    We all feel in our gut he did it but we’re all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty in this country.

    Yup. I most certainly should say that he “allegedly” killed her.

    I must have missed the original reference to “gas station governor” because I’m just not getting it.

    Are you really so far up Ernie Fletcher’s loose butt that you can’t “get it” ??

    Gas Station Governor.

    The only things he cares about are items you can buy at a gas station. Cig-rehts n lot-tree tickits.

    Well since I usually buy gas at a gas station, don’t smoke and rarely buy lottery tickets, the term meant nothing to me.
