At 5:00 A.M. yesterday, Republican chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party sent out a very special financial ask all about “New Years” – because punctuation is too difficult. Dear Fellow Democrat, New Years is always a fun and special time of year. We look forward to parties with friends, watching the ball drop and the anticipation that a clean slate of a year is stretched out ahead of us. What could be better? We’re not shocked. I mean, after the 10,000 emails about how stuffed pandas were only for charity (really). [Email Blast]
Instant horsie racing passed in Kentucky, in case you were wondering. This is a good thing. [Paulick Report & Amanda Van Benschoten]
Don McNay spoke to some folks about who they think make up the “next generation” of political leadership in Kentucky. Interesting how these folks all mention their personal friends. Literally, every person named then named a personal friend. Greenberg is definitely one to watch. So is Alecia Webb-Edgington. [HuffPo]
President Barack Obama and Senator Mitch McConnell. The odd couple. Awwwwkward. [TIME]
Wait for it… Marcus Carey is selling underwear that blurs your ladyparts/ladymanparts when going through the scanner at the airport. His press release was a full-on gloat about how “influential” his political website is. Our eyes are rolling so hard. So hard. This must be a ploy to get felt up. [Wow, Really?]
It’d be awesome if closet cases and mouthbreathers would stop foaming at the mouth over the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Attacking people for supporting the repeal is even more insane. [HuffPo]
While nothing has been pre-filed and it may not come up official, let’s not pretend that gambling isn’t among the issues awaiting Kentucky lawmakers, Mr. Alford. [AP& & Bluegrass Politics]
A year ago a Louisville mayoral candidate proposed a restoration of the police department’s street crimes division. At the time, A Kentucky Newspaper scoffed at the idea and called for said mayoral candidate to immediately drop out of the race. But guess what? It was front-page news this week now that the new administration has proposed the very same thing – which they poo-pooed last year, of course. [The 'Ville Voice]
Remember crazy Christine Witch O’Donnell? Turns out she could be under investigation for campaign finance fraud. Woops. Dear teabaggers: please finally learn campaign finance law. [AP]

“Why Are Wingnuts So Afraid To Show Their Junk?”
Some consider the violation of privacy and due process by the government to be violation of a moral imperative (the Constitution is proxy for this, but not the ‘source’ of it, since it declares preexisting rights. )
This applies to FISA and the Patriot Act and the various internet invasions as well, of course, but the TSA one ALSO invades human dignity, and mobilizes those who just don’t see what happens to their privacy through invisible means.
At least, that is one wing nut’s point of view.

Question somebody might be able to answer. How often does the KY State Supreme Court meet? Basically how long before they hear the Instant Racing appeal? Weeks? Months?
