We’re not going to shut up about you giving to the Red Cross for tornado relief efforts. This will take a long time. [Click Here To Give]
Wasn’t that awesome on Friday when tornadoes ripped through Southeastern Louisville and the local teevee folks were caught by surprise? Yeah, just wonderful. [FOX41]
Local media is finally realizing that allergies are a real problem for many residents in Louisville. [Business First]
Friday’s tornado mess with local weather folks wasn’t nearly as awesome as a cab crashing through the glass of the Kentucky International Convention Center, though. [WAVE3]
The Spruce Mine reversal signals that mountaintop removal permits are not slowing to a trickle. Despite what Hal Rogers would have you believe. [HuffPo]
Let’s not forget that Greg Fischer is still running from the Metro Parks whistleblower scandal. As quickly away as humanly possible. [The 'Ville Voice]
Here’s a story about $380,000 homes being reduced to rubble for the East End Bridge approach. [WHAS11]
Brooks Wicker, some guy who is running an embarrassingly bad campaign against John Yarmuth (come on – Connie Marshall would do a better job), is so angry about “Obamacare” that he sent out an email blast about it last week. And it was filled with bogus fearmongering. [Silly Political Moments]
Did you hear? Some sports things happened and University of Kentucky and University of Louisville people are just cold freaking out. [WLKY]
People got so crazy over it that they started to set things on fire in Lexington. That town is clearly the center of all intellectual life in Kentucky. [H-L]
It’s easy for Louisvillians to forget they live in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It’s even easier to forget there are competent state legislators. John Will Stacy is one of them. [Page One]
Ted Nobama Jackson is now trying to sell Nobama water or something. Because that will get them what they want. [C-J/AKN]

Yes, we need a logical bridge approach, and some homes were even built with knowledge that a hoped-for bridge was projected for their vicinity. But…too many Jeff. Co. properties are already exempt from taxation.

“Sad Little Wildcats”
UK Student #1: “Let’s go get drunk and set a far. On, on, U of K.”
UK Student #2: “How far do we go if we beat Looaville and win the whole tournament?
UK Student #1: “We’ll fight, fight, fight for the blue and white. We’ll go to Looaville and set far to Grawemeyer Hall.”
UK Student #2: “Isn’t college awesome? Now, back to our damn 20-page reading assignment, for Pete’s sake. After that, we drink and set far!”

Novena: I understand your parody, here; but considering the relative paucity of the academic ranking of BOTH places I’m not sure it would apply equally to both ‘athletic clubs’ who are masquerading as ‘universities.’

“To Highlander”
I agree it could apply to either athletic club, depending upon who won. My main gist for the comment was how much of a “beer & circus” atmosphere pervades many such athletic clubs. It resembles an ancient Roman orgy of fire and drunken stupors. Pick up a book and one would think you are a nut. They might soon give warnings to those who step into the library: Beware why you are here in the first place!

Novena: There are a number of ways to correct this, but none will happen as long as boobs like Comb-Over Ramsey are chosen as the CEO’s of public ‘athletic clubs.’
The correction will ONLY occur when the largesse becomes so preposterous that the discovery is FINALLY MADE that the student/athletes (sic) are caught gambling on games over the internet. This is AT PRESENT standard fare. Check BoDog out. You can wager from your easy chair. When the gambling is exposed (my prediction is within 3 years) it will all come crashing down — just like it did 65 years ago.
Sad. But Gluttony never wins in the end.

Dear Highland & Novena
The only chance Louisville has to become a World Class City is to have a college sports-related riot in the downtown area, complete with overturned cop cars and fire-bombed businesses, captured on film for later showing on Tru TV’s World’s Lamest College Related Sports Riots Funded by a Chamber of Commerce .
