The classes are drifting apart. Can the rich save the American dream by preaching what they practice? [The Economist] No, you weren’t dreaming when we told you Phil Moffett was running for office. So take your pee break now before reading about it from the Associated Press. [H-L] SuperPACs are worrying the DCCC chairman. Unfortunately, [...]

RPK & KDRP Year-End Campaign Finance Reports
February 1st, 2012 · 2 Comments
It’s time to examine the Federal Election Commission year-end reports from the Republican Party of Kentucky and the Kentucky Democratic Republican Party. Rather than examine contributions this time, it’s best just to look at how much cash each party has on-hand in its federal account and how much it spent. RPK’s year-end report covers the [...]

The KDRP Has Another FEC Problem To Resolve
February 1st, 2012 · No Comments
Nearly every month the Kentucky Democratic Party receives a letter from the Federal Election Commission requesting additional information for the most recent campaign finance report. It’s always the same thing – a serious lack of transparency. Naturally, December was no different. Here’s the additional information the FEC requested on January 17: 1. Itemized disbursements must [...]

This Is How Jacked Up The Dems Have Become
January 26th, 2012 · 3 Comments
Something the Kentucky Democratic Republican Party doesn’t want you to think about: how November brought the election of a Republican as Elliott County Judge-Executive. Carl Fannin is, based on what we can tell, the first Republican elected to county office there in more than 70 years. You may remember his opponent, Georgia Ison. She’d previously [...]

It’s worth a read: FRANKFORT – Nearly two weeks in, the 2012 General Assembly seemed slow coming together. Its first and most immediate challenge – state-level redistricting – was [...]

Are Payday Loan Sharks Finally Getting Theirs?
January 6th, 2012 · 3 Comments
We can’t help but wonder if payday loan sharks – that have been protected by people like Steve Beshear – might be about to run into something they can’t instantly repair with a campaign contribution or two. [Business Insider] Mittens Romney’s tax play proposes a whopping $600 billion bet with America. Because it’s the Republican [...]

Did you catch the Kentucky Democratic Republican Party’s bitterness yesterday? Apparently, the people of Iowa are sad and desperate. Since the candidates themselves don’t play much of a role in the actual caucuses.

Yep, KY04 Has Already Turned Into A Hot Mess
December 19th, 2011 · 7 Comments
Alecia Webb-Edgington should probably stop shopping stories to eight reporters as “exclusive” if she wants her candidacy to be taken seriously. Otherwise, Thomas Massie will self-fund and leave her in the dust. Actually, we get the sense Massie is already leaving her behind. [4th District Thoughts] At least EIGHT child abuse deaths are missing from [...]

Henry County Isn’t As Bad As Louisville’s Shelter
December 15th, 2011 · No Comments
Just what Kentucky needs. Another “Democrat” (former Republican) with a scandalous past trying to run for legislative office. This is going to get interesting. [Deep Political Sadness] It’s interesting to watch everybody freak out about some animals discovered in a mess in Henry County. It’s also interesting that they never bother to get upset – [...]

“She Told Me She Worked For A Gynecologist”
November 18th, 2011 · 5 Comments
The quote of the year came today from David Williams regarding Richie Farmer’s ladyfriend: “She told me she worked for a gynecologist.” [BIGGEST AWARD EVER] God. John Boehner cries more than a drunken hooker at one of those parties thrown by Greg Stumbo and Kent Downey in the 1990s. [Wonkette] The Associated Press is having [...]
