Isn’t it interesting to see Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado rip Rand Paul apart on the floor of the U.S. Senate? Meanwhile, Rand’s folks are foaming at the mouth, claiming folks criticizing him just want No Child Left Behind to continue as it currently exists. That couldn’t be further from reality. Rand is trying to [...]

Seriously, Todd P’Pool? You learned on Monday that this gets you literally no where and you still decide to run the most stupid ad of 2011? It’s tough to top Jack Conway’s Riddle-laden 1980s ads but goodness gracious: Character does matter, Todd. And your character is apparently loaded down with bullshiz because you live in [...]

Jack Conway spent, what, the better part of four years rarely mentioning drug abuse or talking about it with kids? (No, you’re thinking about MySpace perverts – he’s finally stopped those school appearances in favor of a hotter campaign issue) And suddenly he’s going balls-to-the-wall on the matter? Yesterday Jack’s office issued a big release [...]

Remember when the Republican Party of Kentucky filed a complaint with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance (like this) begging them to take Bluegrass Freedom Fund ads off the air because they weren’t revealing their donors (remember Bill Yung and his $1 million contribution?)??? Remember that? They were alleging collusion because donors of the group [...]
