Take a look at this, from the head of Hoverounds at the Kentucky Democratic Republican Party:

Logsdon said Democrats “really didn’t have a reason to turn out” at the polls Tuesday.

“When turnout is this low, I’m not sure what this means,” Logsdon said.

HAHAHA.

Yeah.

Maybe Logsdon, who apparently didn’t fall far from the apple tree, should ask women, African Americans, all the folks who have died over 300 years so we can vote and then bitch about not having anyone to vote for?

Let us be the folks to point out why Democrats didn’t show up to the polls: because Logsdon and his friends threatened people to keep them from running for office. He and others have taken a direct role in the defamation of anybody who questions the Democratic Party. And because he’s making Steve Robertson look like a political genius.

Like we told you would happen, the national press is pointing out how anti-Obama Kentucky Democrats happen to be. [WaPo]

Why the hell did it take a judge to decide it was okay for a kid to wear a gay t-shirt? [WKYT]

Nope, no one turned out to vote. So few voted, in fact, that it is embarrassing to be a Kentuckian at the moment. [H-L]

The top Democrat in charge of protecting his party’s majority in the Senate thinks it can be done. But he’s deeply concerned his organization won’t have the money to do it. [HuffPo]

Here’s how the mainstream looked at teabagger birther segregationist Marilyn Parker. The hilarity is here, folks, and it is golden. [C-J/AKN]

A majority of people think Mittens Romney was more concerned with profits than he was concerned with jobs at Bain. [Daily Kos]

We are so, so very sad. Newt Gingrich is all out of whore diamonds! The world is such an awful place. Poor Newt. [Wonkette]

BRAVE PATRIOT Teabagger Birther Marilyn Parker is now essentially a Louisville Metro Council member. PEE ALERT. Let’s take this trip down the crazy lane. [The 'Ville Voice]

All the sudden, Geoff Davis is concerned about outside groups having influence in Kentucky. [Ryan Alessi]

Way to go, Eastern Kentucky! Two women were shot in the face by a man who then turned the gun on himself in Stanton on Tuesday afternoon. [H-L]

This was a dumb idea in Lexington to begin with, right? Who comes up with something like that? [H-L]

OH GOD NOW RED CHINA IS JUST COLD TAKIN OVER THE MOVIES!!!1! A Chinese conglomerate announced Monday it will buy a major U.S. cinema chain, AMC Entertainment Holdings, for $2.6 billion in China’s biggest takeover of an American company to date. [NPR]

In a time when gay satan has plagued the churches with rampant homosexual battles, a breath of fresh air has been given to those on the side of good. This story is absolutely crazy. [Wonkette]

The Kentucky Democratic Republican Party will pretend this isn’t based in reality: Obama, as we’ve noted before, has performed especially poorly in West Virginia and Oklahoma, where he took less than 60 percent of the vote. (His top opponent in West Virginia was a federal inmate in Texas, while in Oklahoma it was an anti-abortion rights activist). Obama also took just 77 percent in Louisiana, where several other candidates split up the vote. In the same vein, the Arkansas and Kentucky primaries tonight are likely to include significant numbers of Democrats spurning the president. In the former, Obama faces a one-on-one contest against attorney John Wolfe , while in the latter, he faces the “uncommitted” option. [WaPo]

A rare slip-up by lawyers has helped shed some light on a high-profile legal battle, the details of which some of the largest Wall Street firms have been fighting to keep under wraps. [The Economist]

If you’ve spent much time consuming conservative media lately, you’ve probably learned about a slow-burning “race war” going on in America today. [BuzzFeed]

Election problems were minimal by the middle of the day because next to no one showed up to vote. [H-L]

Here’s an interesting look at Joplin a year later. Is this the future for Eastern Kentucky? [HuffPo]

Late last Friday, Buzzfeed reporter and Rolling Stone contributor Michael Hastings broke what looked like a big scoop: Congress was quietly planning to lift a 64-year-old law preventing the US government from using propaganda on its own citizenry. Before the House passed its defense budget bill Friday afternoon, Hastings reported, a bipartisan group of congressmen tacked on an amendment that would “essentially neutralize” a set of time-tested guidelines “that had been passed to protect U.S. audiences from our own government’s misinformation campaigns.” [Mother Jones]

A Washington-based watchdog group says an eastern Kentucky Baptist pastor violated federal law when he urged his followers to vote President Barack Obama out of office in November. [WKYT]

They’ve been driving up and down Brownsboro Road all morning illegally placing yard signs in rights-of-way.

A few shots:

We called Meeks’ office and Betty says he’s out of the office for the day.

Of course, teabagger Wendy Caswell has done the same crap:

You’d think people like Reggie Meeks would know better than to pull stunts like this.

For the record: we have better footage – including plate numbers – of the “guy” placing signs up and down the street. At one point, they ventured onto our private property but thought twice about placing signs upon seeing dozens of cameras.

UPDATE: Just like that, a flood of calls from Meeks’ personal cell phone. We’d prefer he collect his illegally placed signs rather than bother making excuses.

Here’s just one of the reasons:

Yep. A fundraising invitation with no paid-for-by disclaimer language, nothing about contribution limits, yadda yadda.

The Democrats love complaining about Republican missteps in the 4th but it looks like we’re in for a long, embarrassing Democratic failure.

Note that he says David Williams will weigh heavily in those races. So, when those Republicans win, you heard it from Daniel H… Logsdon first. It’s a testament to him.

What’s even more sad is the way he addresses the Party’s alleged “position” on gay marriage:

“It’s been settled here since 2004.” and “It’s a moot point.” and “We really don’t have a position on that.”

There you go. Democratic cowardice and obfuscation at an all-time high.

P.S. It is like West Virginia where people say they don’t support President Barack Obama. Remember the last presidential race where a majority of Democrats admitted they voted against Obama on the basis of race? Yeah.

That said… let’s take a look at McGarvey’s real world problem.

You’re familiar with writ of possession/writ of eviction, right? The process where a bank goes to court for an order instructing the sheriff to forcibly evict people from their home within 24 hours? Even if the person is elderly or a family member is deathly ill or pregnant? Sure you are. You can Google it if you’re not.

You’re probably also familiar with the reality that the big banks that were investigated for mortgage fraud – and subsequently settled with the Department of Justice with the blessing of Jack Conway (McGarvey’s former boss) – are the very banks McGarvey’s law firm represents. Writ of possession is even a service his law firm promotes on its website:

Some of his firms big Wall Street clients that utilized writ of possession – often illegally and in instances of robosigning?

• Chase
• Bank of America
• CitiFinancial

Here it is on his site:

Just to name a few.

It’s a practice that has cost not only hard working families without the ability to pay a lawyer their homes, it’s directly impacted thousands of Louisvillians and Kentuckians.

It’s a practice many of those big banks continue to rely on as they’re continually investigated for mortgage fraud.

Unfortunately for McGarvey, he can’t say his salary paid by the firm never included funds derived from the practice. So just roll your eyes when he and his folks foam at the mouth about it in reaction.

It’s a real shame the Courier-Journal editorial board ignored this reality when the group gave him preferential treatment during a recent interview of the candidates. Gary Demling, Sarah Lynn Cunningham and Amy Shoemaker were repeatedly cut off while McGarvey was allowed to speak at length. Strangely, none of them were allowed to follow-up on what McGarvey had to say.

It’s also a real shame his opponents don’t have the drive to really differentiate themselves from the establishment by discussing issues like this.

And you wonder why Kentucky can’t have nice things.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday morning agreed in principle to reach an agreement that allows for the quick consideration and passage of a bill to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a bill Democrats have made a priority over the last few weeks. [The Hill]

On paper, Kentucky has a ban on nuclear power plants. That’s still the case. But a new law opens up new ways for nuclear energy to be used in the Commonwealth. [WFPL]

Absentee voting is now open for Kentucky’s may primary election. [Press Release]

Barbara Boxer has promised to claw Mitch McConnell’s eyes out if he speaks ill of President Barack Obama again. [The Hill]

The mainstream finally wrote about that crazy book from Karen Sypher. Rather, from that person who doesn’t exist about Karen Sypher. Her attorney now says it could have been written by someone who “served time” with her. How someone could get to know everything about the case, find a publisher and get the book edited and into the public hands since she’s been in custody, we have no idea. We guess magic is real. [C-J/AKN]

The Kentucky Supreme Court heard the appeal of a judge kicked out of office by the Judicial Conduct Commission. Fitting that Marcus Carey is the guy’s attorney. [H-L]

You know what’s unfortunate? The Kentucky Democratic Republican Party is working overtime to trash Sarah Lynn Cunningham. She’s running as a Democratic in the 19th State Senate District amongst the KDRP’s chosen boy, Morgan. Beshear’s crew have gone so far to call various unions to prohibit them from granting her an interview. And you wonder why the Democrats in Frankfort continue to fall apart. [Democratic Failure]

Virginia Foxx simply does not care for you damn kids and your debt. This heinous witch is half the reason the United States is in the pooper. [Wonkette]

Just like that, hospitals are starting to sue the state’s new Medicaid managed care plans. Appalachian Regional Healthcare sued Centene on the state level and Coventry in federal court. Cat fights are just beginning. [Deep Medicaid Thoughts]

Way to go, Lexington! A fire on Sheridan Drive on Thursday burned unchecked for several minutes, destroying a family’s kitchen, because the nearest fire engine had temporarily been taken out of service. [H-L]

When are you mouth-breathers going to realize that your hate and ignorance helps drive young gay people to take their lives? Is it impossible for you to comprehend that hate, discrimination, defamation and attacks are the antithesis of what you claim to espouse? Of course you don’t. You won’t realize it until hordes of mouth-breathers start killing themselves for realizing they’re living in an ignorant fantasy world. [HuffPo]

The only thing the Kentucky Democratic Republican Party is turning up is the air conditioning. Because the folks at KDRP can’t walk ten feet without nearly sweating to death. And because the heat is coming from Republicans making life difficult for them. [Twitter]

While the Democrats love hanging this special session albatross around the neck of David Williams? This bit from a Gerth/Loftus/Wynn article makes it more than clear that Steve Beshear is in charge of spending way more than $60,000 per day: Meanwhile, Gov. Steve Beshear is still pondering whether to act on the state’s road plan quickly or allow the session to drift into next week. [C-J/AKN]

Of course Ben Chandler is making campaign contributions to his fellow faux Democrats. That’s how things work with him. [Politico]

But let’s not pretend that he could lose to Candy Barr, one of the worst opponents ever, like this article suggests could happen. [Probably Not Happening]

Kind of a major pee alert: Scott Walker was there to speechify as a guest of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
