What’s with Rand Paul and David Adams flip-flopping 24/7? What happened to the debate anywhere, any time mantra? Hypocrisy, thy name is Ro… Rand. [Page One]
If Jonathan Miller can’t raise money for Beshear on his own free time, then McConnell’s staff shouldn’t get to raise money for him. Trey’s staff shouldn’t get to do campaign work for him. Jim Bunning shouldn’t be paying his own daughter. Steve Robertson may want to tread lightly, as the teabaggers are about to take over. Truly was a slow news day since Brammer fell for that one. [Bluegrass Politics] For the record, the Herald-Leader is committing what is effectively fraud by re-directing this link (and promoting it on sites like Twitter) to its political blog. You’d think a prominent newspaper wouldn’t deceive readers like that.
The Kentucky U.S. Senate race a toss-up? That’s what Congressional Quarterly is saying these days. [CQ Politics]
Afro-Leninism! FEAR! TERRA! MESSICANS!!! OH GOD!!1! [Barefoot & Progressive]
This Clay County vote-buying scandal is getting juicy! Check out the latest details from federal agents. [H-L]
Republicans allege they are being punished for their tax votes. And not a single person in Frankfort rolled their eyes. [Ronnie Ellis]
Kentucky Farm Bureau is against regulation that would require livestock to have space to stand up, lie down, turn around and extend their limbs and wings. Just like Farm Bureau likes to violate the Fairness Ordinance and is keen on discriminating against those they deem queer-sympathizing. [H-L]
You know coal companies aren’t being charged enough per-permit when the Kentucky Coal Association and Jim Gooch back legislation to raise permit fees. What? It makes the permitting process easier and allows King Coal to be more sneaky? Imagine that. In Kentucky, no less. [Roger Alford]
The U.S. Senate is all gummed up thanks to Jim Bunning. Yes, that’s an awful joke. Yes, I pulled it from the piece. [NY Times]
Mitch McConnell and “blue dog” Ben Chandler are new best friends. Now they can plan sleepovers and pillow fights and gossip sessions. [Politico]

Jake, why is it “effectively fraud” for the Herald Leader to direct or re-direct its own work product? What am I missing here?

Getting double the traffic. The story loads on the Herald-Leader site and all transmission of data stops. Then maybe 15 seconds later, bam, the reader is re-directed to a different site owned by the Herald-Leader.
No other newspaper in the state pulls that shit, the Herald-Leader certainly doesn’t need to be doing so.

Well, if it’s a matter of traffic, the H-L should just change its name to the Rand Paul Examiner. As for Paul ditching the Metro GOP Women for Simon’s merry band, I guess that means that Paul will be burning the last vestige of his libertarian smock which he wore proudly before becoming a “frontrunner”. Remember, Rand, Frank Simon gave Kentuck Attorney General Stumbo. Wink, wink,nod.

So I suppose you want HSUS to be able to write legislation that will drive the ag industry out of KY, and drive prices up so high that food will consume far more than the
