Marcus Carey still can’t come to terms with the fact that a scary black man was overwhelmingly elected president. Now he can’t handle a liberal Jew getting elected in Minnesota. […]

Dear Daniel Mongiardo on Health Care

July 1st, 2009 · No Comments

Thanks for not answering questions about how you feel about single-payer health care.
Click here to see what see what we mean, in case you’ve forgotten.
You said you lived in Canada and didn’t get to perform tonsilectomies. We know you’re a doctor in eastern Kentucky. And you say the system has to be changed. […]

Your Monday Dept of Regular Political Hypocrisy

June 29th, 2009 · 9 Comments

In case you missed it, Daniel Mongiardo sided with king coal and the Republican Party - not the Democratic Party - on cap and trade. Both John Yarmuth and known pussyfooter and wannabe Republican Ben Chandler voted in support of the legislation. [Barefoot & Progressive]
That Barack Obama will hold a national town hall […]

Friday Afternoon Dept of Sweating to Death

June 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment

It’s 900 million thousand degrees outside and 400% humidity. Ugh. Thank goodness it’s a slow news day and we’re stuck in meetings allll day. Otherwise we’d be complaining even more.
Top health care companies spent more than half a million dollars on congressional trips. And you wonder why your elected “leaders” are […]

Let’s Take a Little Look at Daniel Mongiardo

June 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Some fancy person has created an interesting video montage/examination of Daniel Mongiardo. The video includes footage of Mongiardo that we originally published on the tubes involving him laughing while standing behind Ernesto Scorsone, who was at the time railing against homophobia and discrimination, footage of Lt. Dan speaking about discrimination at the NRA conference […]

It’s Thursday & the Day After the Special Session

June 25th, 2009 · No Comments

Apparently it’s a big deal to merely balance the state’s budget for a year while ignoring the underlying problems that will keep the state’s budget jacked for years to come. Governor Steve Beshear is terrified to approach comprehensive tax reform. [KY Post]

Daniel Mongiardo Thinks We’re Unfair to Him

June 24th, 2009 · 16 Comments

We keep hearing from nearly everyone Daniel Mongiardo meets that he tells them we’re being unfair. He thinks we’re being unfair for constantly discussing the facts and reminding readers of his record, apparently.
Of course, we also spend a fair amount of time pointing out campaign mistakes, just as we’ve done with nearly every other […]

Yet Another Pee Alert For Your Afternoon

June 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments

This mess from LEO Weekly has us in tears:
“I’ve always told the people of this great state the truth, no matter the cost or how ugly that truth might be,” Beshear said in his latest webcast. “And I’m here today to tell you that we’re all doomed.”
Citing, among other things, a nearly $1 billion statewide […]

The House and Senate will reconvene this morning at 10:00 A.M. when they will vote on compromise bills (HB 3 & 4). According to legislators, they expect the session to adjourn sine die mid-day to early afternoon. $600,000 later, of course. Thank goodness it’s all over.
