July 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

What’s the deal with attacking reporters for, you know, REPORTING?
We find it absolutely laughable that long-time Louisville attorney Mike Lemke would continue to attack the Courier-Journal for reporting information it was given in the case of the woman who murdered her two children.
Seriously, what the hell is the deal? What’s with this rash of […]

It’s a Slow News Day, Right?

July 22nd, 2008 · 3 Comments

So we’re gonna waste some time with another update. We’re also stuck in meetings, preventing us from paying attention to what’s going on.

Al Cross, Comment, Mark Nickolas, Etc

July 12th, 2008 · 28 Comments

This site and others have more than stepped in to take over the Kentucky blogosphere where Mark left off.  And we’re appreciative of the role he played while he was temporarily involved.

Where Does the Homophobia End These Days?

July 9th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Almost offended by this fancy photoshop work of Ernesto Scorsone? Thought so.
