Kentucky Farm Bureau’s 90th annual meeting will start on December 2. Wonder if they’ll ignore the hot mess surrounding the illegal firing of Todd Eklof because he dared say he wouldn’t perform another wedding until the gays can legally wed? Doubtful, so don’t hold your breath. [Just Wondering]

Yes, Tom Eblen and the bloggers; a prime example of what I commented on last night in light of the CJ thinking your sites would be confused as theirs…
“Bloggers and talk show hosts — who aren’t journalists, but advocates and entertainers unencumbered by journalistic ethics — know that the more outrageous their comments, the more attention they’ll get.”
Ya, right

If Ayn Rand Paul believes, like his campaign manager, that global warming is a hoax, I think most of us who know the truth will have to work very hard against his campaign getting anywhere near victory. His victory would be damaging to the planet and our descendants.

Steve, do you really think Rand Paul’s election or lack there of , will have a global impact?
I don’t care for Rand Paul because I think he’s all marketing and no substance, but his potential impact on my child’s future and the global environment, ranks somewhere between irrelevance and nothing.

If the current health care bill passes, the State is going to be hit with new huge financial medical care financial obligations on top of the nightmare that already exists currently.
As such, we need a candidate that can look outside to box (or in Beshear’s case, outside the gas station) to find a solution to the funding problems the State faces.
