We’re not going to shut up about you giving to the Red Cross for tornado relief efforts. This will take a long time. [Click Here To Give]
Here’s what President Barack Obama had to say about the Buffett Rule last night: The President proposed the Buffett Rule to ensure a very basic principle of fairness: millionaires shouldn’t pay less in taxes as a share of their income than middle class families pay. The President believes our system must ask the wealthiest to pay their fair share, while protecting 98 percent of Americans from seeing their taxes go up at all. And we can’t accept the Ryan Republican approach that hands out massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans at the expense of investing in the things we need to grow our economy, create jobs and help the middle class. In the next few weeks, Members of Congress will get a chance to vote on the Buffett Rule, and show the American people whether they are willing to make sure the middle class gets a fair shake. We urge Members to vote for this common sense approach. [Press Release]
As you sit around this year wondering why your butthole is burning? It’s not just because you weigh 350 pounds and have roids the size of a cat. It’s because of this placement agent/okay for corruption bill that Frankfort has passed. If Steve Beshear wasn’t bought and paid for, he’d veto the shit out of that mess. [BGDN]
Guess which country tops the ten spending the most on health care. [HuffPo]
Ruh ro! Here comes more corruption. Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway has ruled that board members of Buffalo Trace Area Development District have violated Kentucky’s Open Meetings Act related to a vote taken on February 21. [Ledger Independent]
Here’s more about that old man in Knox County who wanted to assplode everything because Jesus or something. [WKYT]
People who discount James Carville’s advice end up with on their face. He’s right about health care reform. He’s the reason Bill Clinton won. Ask Jerry Lundergan about his political acumen. [Politico]
The Senate’s version of the state highway construction plan would put $372 million worth of projects in the district of Senate President David Williams in the next six years. You don’t find out how much cash Greg Stumbo is throwing at Floyd County, where he absolutely does not live (Hello! I’ve been in his home – he doesn’t live there), until the end of the article. Let’s just say the outrage at Williams is feigned. [Tom Loftus]
For-profit colleges would be subject to stiffer oversight under a bill that has cleared the state legislature on Thursday and now heads to Gov. Steve Beshear for consideration. Still no mention about why Jack Conway is wet for for-profit colleges. [H-L/AP]
OMG! Can you believe they let black people vote?! And sometimes allow them to register to vote?! THE HORROR! [Wonkette]
You know you need a Friday morning pee alert. And you know you’ve been wondering why Michelle Duggar has so many damn kids (and how she walks around without her, ahem, convenience store falling out). It’s because she’s dumb as hell! Says there needs to be more children because the world needs more joy. And – get this – overpopulation is a lie. HAHAHA. [HuffPo]
A Frankfort man was arrested late Thursday evening after a 12-hour standoff with the po-leece. Nope, it wasn’t Julian Carroll. [WLEX18]

Jake, I can’t ever disagree with Carville, but might add a caveat here; Democrats are blamed for Roe vs Wade.
During my congressional race interview with Lisa Autry on NPR, she kept pressing me for my stance on abortion and I finished up with this statement; “If you ask me, we have to thank Republican leadership for Roe vs Wade and here is why. The supreme Court decision was decided by five republican appointed judges and only two Democratic appointed judges, but what I find ironic is of the only two dissenting judges, one was considered the most conservative (Rehnquist )and the other a liberal (White), add to the fact that Nixon was the sitting president who appointed at least three of the Judges who were with the majority, never uttered an opinion, in fact never said one word about this decision, so therefore we have to thank the Republican leadership for giving us Roe vs Wade”!
Lisa moved on to the next loaded question which was “where did I stand on the 2nd amendment?”
Lisa was so biased i really wanted to just answer every question with “as long as it creates jobs, I’m for it”!
But here’s hoping that Carville’s right if they decide the basic right of every human (Affordable and Accessible Healthcare) is not constitutional.
