Lexington is totally dying and being bulldozed. The crazy Webb family, Jennifer Miller, et al are cheering from the rooftops. Who wants […]

Republicans have way more cash on-hand than Democrats. $1,256,967.51 to $371,220.58. How exciting for Democrats! Also, where’s all the g.d. money, KDP? [PolWatchers]
The U.S. Senate confirmed controversial FEC picks. Finally, a working election commission. Maybe. If we’re lucky. Don’t get too excited. [The Hill]

We’re at the Oaks all day, folks.
Don’t burn the house down while we’re gone.

Seriously. Is Steve Beshear still harping on about how he’s going to pass casino gaming legislation (we support it, but come on)?

Is 501(c)3 organization Say No To Casinos led by John Mark Hack and Kent Ostrander violating the law? Quite possibly.

Maybe. If we can stop laughing.
Old boy totally changed his tune. The Herald-Leader listed Rep. Tom Burch (D-Louisville) as one of the Democrats voting “yes” on the casino bill (whichever form it was in at the time).
Buuuuut… in 2002 Tom sponsored this glorious piece of legislation, House Resolution 256, which was off-the-hook […]
