House Bill 52 – the elder abuse bill created and pushed by Representative Joni Jenkins – was enacted today. Thanks go to Governor Steve Beshear for signing it into law. [SoS]
Why are Steve Beshear and the legislature running from transparency? Why is Frankfort just as corrupt as it has ever been? [H-L]
Miami removed it’s mayor for rewarding his closest pals. Kentuckians would never do something so common sensical. [NY Times]
Is it sad or hilarious that the Republican Kentucky Democratic Party’s out-of-context stunt this week has garnered just over 100 views statewide? [YouTube]
For comparison, I tweeted a photo of me as a baby that something like 70 people immediately checked. And tweeted a telephone screenshot of what I wanted for my birthday, which pulled 300ish views. I wish they’d bother getting good advice instead of playing this weird game of pat-a-cake. [Here & Here]
Ralph Long sent out a press release today saying that the United Mine Workers rescinded its endorsement of Gatewood Galbraith’s campaign for governor. Papaw Beshear is going to lose all kinds of Democratic votes to him. They’re operating in FEAR of Gatewood. [Press Release]
All the mouth-breathers all across the land are just snatching up potassium iodide pills left and right because of their irrational fear. [The Consumerist]
No Tea For Me, Thanks. I Prefer Progress. That’s the new Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee bumper sticker and we like it. [DSCC]
Were Barack Obama’s low approval ratings just a blip on the radar? The latest polling takes a look. [Daily Kos]
Here’s an awkward one-on-one interview with Mitch McConnell. I still don’t think he’s running for re-election. At the very least, he’s mulling his options. [CNBC]
Here is a picture of Papaw Beshear walking from his expensive ass airplane to a poorly-attended presser in the Cincinnasti area the other day. Kinda like he had 12 people at his Bowling Green presser. [AP via Yahoo!]
Can you believe it?! Republicans in Warshington have discovered a path around the earmarks ban. [NY Times]

If and when I ever get it?
I have ample wall space.
Don’t you worry. I would throw stuff away if I had to make room.

In the NY Times article about earmarks, the title says “Lawmakers” and of the 5 Members of Congress mentioned by name, 4 are Democrats and 1 is a Republican. So how exactly does that translate to “Republicans in Warshington have discovered a path around the earmarks ban”?

Would you prefer I blame Steve Beshear?

Told ya a long time ago this is Mitch’s last term. Wifey wants a lifey. Plus he vomits a little in his mouth every time he has to stand next to either Paul. He’s ready to make money – for himself and his foreign friends.
