Yes, the election is over. It’s almost pointless to discuss it at this point. And it’s a shame. Because Kentucky is – yet again – losing out. [Ronnie Ellis]
People love to talk about David Williams’ leadership style being bad. But what the heck do you call Steve Beshear’s? Is it puppies and rainbows? The golden ticket? [H-L]
State spending on Medicaid is up sharply so we expect Steve Beshear to once again borrow freely while continuing to fraudulently claim he’s balanced the budget a a million times. [WaPo]
Bigot Rick Perry is all about the repeal of New Hampshire’s gay marriage legislation. [Reuters]
Hahaha. And yet, a new survey proves that 62% of Americans “say their past would preclude them from running for public office.” Is the entire country made up of necrophiliac pedophiles? No, just 62%. But how do they feel about mail delivery, book readin’, William Henry Harrison, free wi-fi at the coffee shop and the preponderance of Neanderthal genes in modern humans? Thanks to the monthly inane treasure known as the Vanity Fair/CBS News survey of people dumb enough to answer the phone at dinnertime, we now have the answers to these important societal questions. [Wonkette]
The extreme right has decided it’s best to start screaming for more taxes on the poor. Because that makes a ton of sense in this country. [HuffPo]
Home care inspections are lagging and fines are rarely imposed. As folks who have experienced this first-hand, we think it’s also a major problem in Kentucky. [NHI]
Obamacare scares? What? Does anyone even care anymore? [The Hill]
Papaw Beshear has decided it’s best to end his campaign by bragging about – get this – doing his job. It’s the governor’s job to call up the national guard during disasters. Acting like it’s rare is just odd. Especially in Kentucky, where we have a disaster every five minutes. [CN|2]
Did you miss the Orange Man John Boehner speaking in Louisville earlier today? Go watch video of it now. [C-SPAN]
It’s apparently a big deal that David Williams is highlighting Reeeechie Farmer in his end-of-campaign ads. Who knew? [National Journal]
Jack Conway is taking a big hit in a new report on attorneys general and trial lawyers. Naturally, his opponent and the statewide press are missing in action. [Page One]
Don’t forget to watch Papaw Beshear, David Williams and Gateweed yell at each other on KET tonight. [Deep Gubernatorial Thoughts]

Larry, Curly & Moe. Shep is in there somewhere also. To me Beshear appears to sometimes talk out of the left side of his mouth, literally. Like Jean Chrétien, former Canada PM. And then Williams with his beady eyes + those glasses–>”banjo eyes” I call him. Then there is Gatewood. Next consider the Lt gov candidates. It’s sad when this is all we are offered to lead KY into the 21st century & beyond. I am voting for Gatewood as I believe he’s the best of this lot. Also his running mate is preferable to Jerry & Richie…
Too many of these folks are close to my age. Time to enjoy grandchildren & gardening. Pigs in the public trough. Give somebody else a chance. I’m ready for the next generation to take over–they can’t be any worse…

Pity that Perry doesn’t think the fine people of New Hampshire can manage their own affairs without his help. That should go over big there.
