Do You Think Frankfort Is A Disaster This Year?

January 30th, 2012 · 6 Comments

Real Reason Housman Is Leaving Frankfort?

January 26th, 2012 · 6 Comments

Republican State Rep. Brent Housman of Paducah recently decided, seemingly out of the blue, not to run for re-election. His reasoning? He wants to spend more time with his family. We hear the real reason is a bit more nefarious and that entire region in Western Kentucky is buzzing about it. The Paducah Sun has [...]

January 12th, 2012 · 2 Comments

And just like that, the mainstream picked up the story about Ruth Ann Palumbo’s house that she pretends to live in. Finally. She needs to sell that shiz so someone can really appreciate it.
