Richie Farmer wants to run for Governor in 2011.
Jim Bunning will drop out (duh), as he just reported having $150,000 on-hand, less than he had in September.
And John Will Stacy is still being ignored by fellow members of House […]

Tuesday Dept of Less Humid Updates

July 15th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Richie Farmer spent about $26,000 on registrations and hotel rooms for his little SASDA conference we told you about weeks and weeks ago. Some employees actually had hotel rooms when they lived less than 30 miles away. Hebert didn’t mention that taxpayers had to pay for a police escort to and from Churchill […]

Sitting in denial

November 12th, 2007 · No Comments

The RPK, Ernie, Uncle Mitch, et al are trying their level best to spin the monumental Republican loss on November 6 as a positive. Wouldn’t be wise for anyone to believe being a Republican in 2008 is a good thing, what, with Trey having to spend a million dollars to beat a broke no-namer […]

Richie Releases An Ad

October 30th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Republican candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture Richie Farmer releases his campaign commercial. Disappointing that footage of Richie playing basketball wasn’t used. Since that’s the only thing Richie has ever really done that he’s known for.
