UofL Hospital Merger Is A Complete Disaster

August 19th, 2011 · 2 Comments

There is still no resolution to Kentucky’s problem with that $28 million unemployment insurance loan payment. And who does Steve Beshear have handling it? Joe Meyer. Nothing to worry about there. Nothing at all. [H-L] Dear Jack Conway: when you walk into the commodity breakfast? Maybe you shouldn’t say “I’m just here to be seen [...]

New KRS Screw-Up Causes Another Headache

August 18th, 2011 · 3 Comments

It’s terribly sad that Steve Beshear’s campaign folks thought it would be appropriate to take an ad promoting the silly Ark Park (seriously – campaign ads pandering to those folks) to a Jewish fundraiser. Can you imagine? That’s how disconnected from reality that campaign is – and they have a Jewish running mate. HEAD – [...]

Waltz Group Resurfaces, Renamed, Begs For Cash

August 18th, 2011 · No Comments

Remember failed/lying candidate, John Waltz? Remember how he used his campaign to pay his wife? And then started some sort of strange organization? Now he’s using (really, it’s his estranged wife, as he’s split town to move back to Michigan to run for office) his faux non-profit/issue organization (still) to prey on unsuspecting folks under [...]

Mouth-Breathers Fear What They Don’t Understand

August 18th, 2011 · No Comments

Mitch Had Decades To Make Change But Hasn’t

August 17th, 2011 · 1 Comment

This is the 105th day Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Steve Robertson has questioned Jack Conway: “It’s unbelievable that no one involved in this scandal has ever faced any consequences,” said Robertson. “The unaccountability of what is supposedly the chief watchdog for our state is not only appalling, but embarrassing as well. If Conway has [...]
