Hope you enjoyed the holiday of gluttony. It’s what makes us great and fat as Americans. Fat fat fat.
Is Gas Station Governor Steve Beshear’s touch the kiss of death for economic development? No wonder Western Kentucky is tired of their chosen boy– he does nothing for the region. [Messenger-Inquirer]
Kentucky’s school superintendents have free reign to sit on boards of organizations and businesses from which they directly profit. It’s illegal for every other state employee to do so. And now superintendents – primarily Sheldon Berman – wants to have his evaluation as a public employee kept private. Our tax dollars being spent on this fight. It is time for our elected officials, the press and everyday citizens to stand up for open records and transparency in government. And it is time to hold these people accountable. [Nancy Rodriguez]
The NRSC saying it won’t endorse in the Republican primary is the equivalent of the DSCC saying it doesn’t have a favorite in the Conway-Mongiardo race. It’s too bad Rand Paul doesn’t understand that. [CQ Politics]
Oh, wait, the NRSC says Rand Paul is just cold making shiz up. Imagine that. [Joe Gerth]
And now Rand Paul’s campaign manager says he was set up by the NRSC. [Facebook]
Did you know mountaintop removal is an important issue in the U.S. Senate race? Or something like that. [Al Cross]
If you don’t hate the gays, then you may want to refer to this buyers guide for all of your holiday shopping needs. Eye opening to see all the Kentucky businesses with abysmal scores – including Humana. [Buying for Equality 2010]
You know the world is ending when Jim Bunning makes more sense on health care reform than Mitch McConnell. [Jim Carroll]

So few get so much. This is why your legislator never does anything to benefit their district. They’re just padding their time to get that sweet, sweet retirement deal. [Stephenie Steitzer]

“The State, C’est Moi”
I agree with Attorney General Conway that Berman’s evaluation should be made public. Two simple questions: Why should Shellie be the lone exception among all state employees? What does the JCPS Board of Education have to hide?

One would think the Felner episode (and UofL’s refusing to deal with him until the FBI showed up) would have been example enough of hiding whatever is going on in education!
Pretending that all is A-ok does not make it so. Fawning over each other does not make a board a good one, nor does avoiding the tough, obvious issues. Administrative “mistakes”, conflicts of interest or whatever, are not to be hidden when public monies are endangered or abused, or when positions are misused.
When public people become secretive all kinds of red flags are running up the flag pole. Better to wade in and tell it like it is, before a real scandal occurs.

How DONE is Mike Huckabee now?!
Those 2012 presidential campaign attack ads would write themselves…

Huckabee is done. His Willie Horton has come home to roost.
On the Owensboro story “State says it tried to save local jobs” After doing a vaunted nationwide search, Larry Hayes is the best man for the job. He has done a great job bringing in jobs and factories into Kentucky. Our economy is booming….
No, I must have been dreaming while eating a piece of the pie in the sky.
Beshear is batting .000 in job and factory announcements but hitting 1.000 in announcing factories are leaving Kentucky.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
