In case you missed it, David Williams is forcing the Kentucky State Police to spend untold hundreds of thousands of dollars to guard his butt outside the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Meanwhile, he’s got his own bloated staff and hypocritically call for cuts everywhere but his budget. [Page One]
The University of Louisville is admittedly in a mad grab for cash. Could that explain the recent move to hire grant menz instead of tried and true educators? [C-J]
Tonight’s edition of Comment on Kentucky might be interesting. Scheduled guests: Jack Brammer, Liz Donatelli and Debby Yetter. 8:00 P.M. Eastern on KET. So tune in. [Press Release]
Why probe crazy and corrupt Charlie Rangel but not Mitch McConnell? [Salon]
Speaking of Mitch McConnell, he says health care reform will drive the general election in November. [WFPL]
Funniest headline all week: “Mongiardo Latest With Tiny Ad Buy.” Hahahah. [National Journal]
Just in case you’re one of the few people who aren’t in the loop, catch up with “This Week in Frankfort” from the LRC. [Owen Covington]
Who could have predicted that there’d be a racist Rand Paul wacko in Lexington? Attention Joe: Campaign for Liberty is a 501( c )4, not a 401. I know, totally strange. [Barefoot & Progressive]
Larry Clark got Lt. Dan the UAW endorsement. [Bluegrass Politics]
It’s hilarious that Kim Geveden is continuing to act like Jack Conway is the devil because he didn’t write a letter for Lt. Dan to read in front of the Paultards. [WHAS11]
Kentucky Crafted: The Market is open to the general public this weekend, so go! 9-6 on Saturday, 10-5 on Sunday. Admission is $8 and parking is $6. [Kentucky Crafted]

Conway is a pussy! I think his and Grayson’s adds are so much a like that they could have been holding hands.

Pussies don’t stand up to critics.
And I can say that Jack does, indeed, stand up.
So does Lt. Dan.
(interesting that folks are now admitting Jack & Trey pull from the same voter base in a general. ha.)

“Wishing for an Academic Campus”
I know that ancillary-service glitz makes for attractions and the like, but UofL really needs to boost its academics. Buildings alone will not do it. It will take a re-dedication to teaching and scholarship in the form of a true university, not one solely interested in cash, grants, and boosterism.

Jake what is ur spin on the cj/whas poll?
Mongiardo + 18! I believe Jack will do the right thing for the party and get out. If he does he can save his cash for 2014 or 2015. Also with that much in the bank he can make alot of friends around the state by contributing to strategic races this year and 2012. No one will run against him in 2011

It pays to hit refresh before commenting. You know that, right? Because a Survey USA story has been up for a while.
That said – 19% undecided. 19%. And who has twice as much cash than Lt. Dan? That’s right, sweet cheeks, Jack.
(But that doesn’t mean Jack will actually turn anything around and run this race like it ought to be run.)
