Do you like to eat? Do you enjoy supporting local business and improving your community? Here’s your chance to literally put your money where your mouth is. The goal’s already been met (I think you can still give), but you can still eat there when the time comes. [The 'Ville Voice]
Of course Papaw Steve Beshear feels safe when trolling around the State Capitol. It might have something to do with the fact that he has a full-time Kentucky State Police security detail. It’s like the man has zero filter. [Ronnie Ellis]
Since 2007, the Commonwealth of Kentucky has spent $20,924,133.42 on cell phone charges and $47,750,392.74 on motor vehicles. Nice, right? [Ralph Long]
Thank goodness Kentucky didn’t make the bottom five of this list of America’s unhealthiest states. [MSN/Forbes]
Here’s yet another look at the John Deasy – Robert Felner mess that’s bogging the Los Angeles Unified School District down these days. [4 LA Kids]
Joe has taken a personal look at Giffords, Loughner, Palin and the basic rules of human decency. It’s worth your consideration. [B&P]
On Sarah Palin and her crazy “blood libel” claim. It’s enough to gag a maggot. [Media Matters]
Today Elaine Walker officially filed to run for Secretary of State. [SoS]
The City of Williamsburg is in violation of Kentucky’s open records law. Strange to see Jack Conway upholding open records laws since he didn’t when Todd Hollenbach’s scheming and excuses were involved. [Times-Tribune]
Here’s a big ole glowing thing of stuff about Elaine Walker moving from Bowling Green to Frankfort. [BGDN]
I agree. Democrats shoulder much of the blame for what’s wrong with the U.S. Senate. Mitch McConnell shoulders the rest. [WaPo]
Today the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission added Indiana University Southeast (in New Albany, just across the river from Louisville) as a partner at Blackacre State Nature Preserve. [Press Release]

Jerry Brown just cut off California state workers’ cell phones. I agree. My job doesn’t give me a free cell phone!

Did anybody ever think about contacting the civil rights division of the federal department of Education about Deasy? I mean, I am sure all the other doctoral candidates would have liked to have the same opportunities to bend the rules. Just a thought.

My state job asked me if I wanted a state supplied cell phone. I said no. I have a a big enough plan like most people. Even with work calls, I have minutes roll over each month.
I would rather not have/ give up my cell phone than have more furlough days.
Thank about it….

Moving down the list of unhealthy states from 41 in 2009 to 44 in 2010 is hardly much better than being in the bottom five.

West End doctoral student: “I had to work two jobs while doing my education doctorate at UofL.”
Dixie Hwy. doctoral student: “Me, too–wish my name was Deasy, and I was a Felnerite in 2005.”
West End doctoral student: “I eventually got kicked out of the program.”
Dixie Hwy. doctoral student: “Why in hell did you?”
West End doctoral student: “I took too many wrong courses. Faulty advisement, I guess.”
Dixie Hwy. doctoral student: “The Deasy-Felner way would’ve been easier, less complicated, more fool-proof.”

Nice article on Deasy, but they left out the role that the University Provost and Dean of the Graduate School have in the awarding of degrees. It wasn’t just Felner.
