Kentucky Legislators Should Be Tested For Drugs

January 30th, 2012 · 1 Comment

One of Richie Farmer’s former staffers was fined for misconduct. Trying to turn a non-merit job into a protected merit job doesn’t fly. The Executive Branch Ethics Commission apparently has more balls than the Legislative. [John Cheves] Wow, we’re still pretending that Frankfort isn’t bought and paid for by king coal, payday loan sharks and [...]

A Round-Up In The Middle Of The Day? Why Not!

January 23rd, 2012 · 2 Comments

It is sad that Rand Paul merely refused a full-body pat down by the TSA. He got detained for that. No Aqua Buddha or weed. How lame is that? The least he could do is make these things more exciting and scandalous. [Humor Fail] Papaw is really good at cutting educational funding while preserving funds [...]

January 17th, 2012 · 1 Comment

It’s no secret that Greg Stumbo and the State House Democrats drew he lines on their redistricting map the way the Kentucky Supreme Court wanted them to. That’s how Greg will get his way.

January 17th, 2012 · 2 Comments

You read Greg Stumbo’s op-ed in the Herald-Leader about Keith Hall, right? No? Here: Hall fully cooperated with the commission, which exhaustively reviewed the facts of the case.

Greg Stumbo Moves To Protect Pal Keith Hall

January 13th, 2012 · 1 Comment

Voters in Pike County have started to figure Keith Hall out. What, with the Ethics mess, Mountain Water and the, you know, culture of corruption that exists in that neck of the woods.
