Only one person in the media isn’t afraid to question whether or not strip mining and mountaintop removal is to blame for the disaster in Pike County. [Larry Webster]
All the national papers are all over Rand Paul because his family received USDA farm subsidies. [Washington Post]
I don’t want to harp too badly on the World Equestrian Games. But come on! Who can afford these prices? Talk about absurd. [H-L]
Ron Paul wants to pull troops from Pakistan, one of the places where al Qaeda apparently exists. Does his son, Rand Liberty Christ Paul, think we should be doing this fancy thing? We’ll probably never know the truth, because he’ll give two different answers. [WSJ]
What do you do when you’re a pole dancer and your daddy is ashamed of you? Who knows. I guess you start a business, run it into the ground, stiff your vendors and then start writing about everything you never knew/will never understand. Miss Teabagger is all upset that Mitch McConnell isn’t keen on allowing gun sales at gun shows without background checks. Meaning felons, those domestically violent, the mentally ill and terrorists can buy guns from unlicensed dealers without any hassle. That sounds good! Amen. [HAHAHA]
No to unemployment or helping the working man when he’s down, but yes to cheetahs. Oh, and Hal Rogers’ daughter runs the charity getting the dough. [John Cheves]
Oh gosh! I think Ryan Alessi broke onto the field during an Orioles game! [YouTube]
Rand Paul flip-flops on everything, forever, no matter what it is. Even Sharron Angle. [Larry Dale Keeling]
Today, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell will spew venom all across the land, from Louisville. [WHAS11]
The Rick Pitino – Sexytime In A Restaurant Lady sexytime trial is beginning! Y’all ready? [H-L]
Rand Paul is stand-offish and assholish to everybody he meets, it seems. Snubbing folks at the Kentucky Farm Bureau was an embarrassingly bad move on his part. Also, Jack Conway’s pretending to be a Republican. Particularly re: cap & trade, which he has flip-flopped on. A staffer of Jack’s confirmed to me last year that he had to “adjust his position” in order to beat Mongiardo. Guess it’s all about out-Republicaning the Republican. [Joe Arnold]

Webster is a joke, a clown, a caricature. Sometimes I think he writes stuff just to get a rise out of people and I sincerely doubt that he believes half of the goofiness he writes. He’s entertaining but sorely misguided on a lot of subjects.

Really? Prove it.
Attacking someone anonymously doesn’t cut it here. The fact that I know who you are and readers do not won’t cut it, either. If you wish to remain anonymous, personal attacks won’t be tolerated (I won’t out you, you just will no longer be permitted to comment).
Reality speaks louder than your rhetoric.

Re: World Equestrian Games
This is the first time the games will be held outside of Europe and the probably my last chance to ever attend them.
In 2014 they will be in Normandy, France and I am sure I won’t be attending there.
It is pricey but so are amusement parks, movies and eating out.
The world is coming to our doorstep I for one am going to go have a look.
I am hopeful that lots of our school children get to go have a firsthand look too.

I had a witty retort all cranked up but then decided “screw it.” It’s just not worth it. When a guy runs on the Republican ticket for lieutenant governor with such crazy platforms as “Save the Heifers from Heartbreak” (his words for letting everyone who wants to be a cheerleader on the squad) and then 20 years later takes positions that are more in line with the Democrats (such as his anti-Israel feelings) then it’s hard to take him seriously about anything, satire writer or no.
