TGIF! Denise Will Steal Your Thunder & Take Credit

March 26th, 2010 · 6 Comments

Why would a “journalist” living in a rent-free apartment owned by a candidate – in exchange for favors – be calling political campaigns in an attempt to get them to trash talk me? Is it because they want me to not only reveal that they are unethical but that they’re violating several laws regulated by [...]

Oh, look, a jury convicted all eight of the Clay County vote-buyers. But we all know this won’t change a thing when it comes to Eastern Kentucky political corruption. These people are part of the reason Appalachia remains impoverished. [Bluegrass Politics] How to win any election. Some words of advice for political candidates in Kentucky. [...]

24% of Republicans Think Obama is the Anti-Christ

March 25th, 2010 · 6 Comments

Really: The survey showed that 24 per cent of Republican respondents agreed with the statement that the president might be the Antichrist, and 38 per cent thought he was “doing many of the things Hitler did.” In other news, 100% of respondents to that survey live in Jim Gooch’s coconut cake-covered ignorance den.

Child Neglect Lover Kelly Flood Foaming Again

March 25th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Oh, look, it’s Kelly Flood, the woman who loves men who neglect their children and sue to avoid paying child support! She is now taking credit for calorie count guidelines buried deep in Warshington’s health reform thingy.

What’s With The Screwy State Senate?

March 25th, 2010 · No Comments

How Do Outsiders View Kentucky?

March 25th, 2010 · 12 Comments

Yeah, I linked to this yesterday, but it’s too funny and sad not to mention again: A rabid dog, fresh from biting an adorable little girl in a princess dress, could probably win a state-wide election in Kentucky, as long as it was pro-life. But Rand Paul’s occasional statments about “closing Guantanamo” might actually put [...]
