Quit Pretending That Vote Wasn’t Based On Race

May 24th, 2012 · 1 Comment

Actually, Kenny Coleslaw, about a quarter of Democrats in Kentucky admitted that they voted against Barack Obama on the basis of race in 2008. [WFPL] It’s silly to protest this North Carolina nutjob. He’s so crazy that a protest isn’t necessary. His words do all the work for you. [HuffPo] The paper in Lexington felt [...]

May 23rd, 2012 · 2 Comments

Brave Patriot Teabagger Segregationist Birther Marilyn Parker won her primary for Metro Council in Louisville.

Alecia Webb-Edgington lost to the teabagger, Rand [...]

No One Voted So Some Crazy Things Happened

It’s probably not a smart move for Thomas Massie not to take his opponents’ calls of concession. Even less of a smart move not to call them back. Way to go, Rand Junior.

Carter County Wants To Be The Next Clay County

May 18th, 2012 · No Comments

Carter County is a corrupt poop hole of awful. The County Attorney and the Journal-Times are reporting open meetings violations. [Journal-Times] Comment on Kentucky will likely be a bit boring tonight on KET at 8:00 P.M. Eastern. But you should consider watching it anyway. Scheduled guests: Joe Gerth, Donna Groves, Amanda Van Benschoten’s replacement. [KET] [...]

May 18th, 2012 · No Comments

Gary Moore needs a reality check on marriage. Here’s what he had to say on KET Monday evening: You’d think someone who has been re-elected three times would understand that pandering is the lowest of the low. And even Dubya and Unka Dick support the gays these days. If you think Gary needs a reality [...]

Alecia’s Crew & PAC Ties Stink To High Heavens

May 17th, 2012 · 1 Comment

Some Republicans don’t ever think about the appearance of impropriety. Like Alecia Webb-Edgington’s guy, who was/is/maybe/was/who knows? helping to operate this joint: Citizens for Working America is not the biggest or the most influential of the super PACs, but it may provide one of the clearest illustrations of how hard it is to track the [...]
