Metro Parks And That Ironic “Liquid Courage”

April 18th, 2012 · 7 Comments

You know what’s weird/creepy? Marty Storch mentioning liquid courage on the teevee last year while discussing the Derby Festival’s Hole-in-One contest: Note: here’s the original segment from which we pulled the clip. It’s only fitting to mention selling alcohol when your boss is a notorious drunk driver. You’ll note that this interview took place around [...]

April 12th, 2012 · 6 Comments

Greg Fischer’s office is denying to media outlets that he knew Mike Heitz was drinking and driving months before the scandal broke. Unfortunately for Greg, we have telephone records indicating that Tommy Clark knew and informed him and a source who also confirms it. Here’s a look at some telephone records that back up claims [...]

Fischer Advisor Told Him Of Heitz Months Earlier

April 10th, 2012 · 4 Comments

We all know that Greg Fischer patted Metro Parks Director Mike Heitz on the back and allowed him to keep his job. All that after he was caught drinking and driving in a city-owned vehicle. We all also know that the original whistleblower has been fired and Fischer’s office – through Chris Poynter, primarily – [...]

We’re not going to shut up about you giving to the Red Cross for tornado relief efforts. This will take a long time.

Why Do People Ruin Perfectly Good Alcohol???

February 14th, 2012 · 5 Comments

That sound? Why, that’s the sound of butt holes puckering over at the Metro Sewer District. Literally. [WFPL] Jefferson County Public Schools plan to start classes later in the 2012-2013 school year. [Toni Konz] GE is hiring 5,000 U.S. veterans and investing like woah in its plants. So it seems the company isn’t just playing [...]

John Yarmuth Knows Where His Bread Is Buttered

February 8th, 2012 · 3 Comments

That sound? It’s John Yarmuth’s communications staff selectively marketing the bourbon industry as newsworthy in Warshington. While typically silly for Yarmuth to be a lobbying the press instead of legislating, we can 100% get behind this. So can you. Because you know you are having a chuglet or two of Maker’s 46 right now. Here’s [...]

Fischer Swept The Heitz Scandal Under The Rug

February 2nd, 2012 · 3 Comments

You know the Parks staffer we told you about yesterday? The guy who was fired because he dared report the director for being a criminal? (Yes, driving drunk is criminal behavior – murderous, even) Funny how that works. We didn’t mention that he’d gone to Metro officials before calling 311 and before reaching out to [...]

That Tasty Town Contest? Most Import Thing Ever

January 31st, 2012 · 2 Comments

Why groups like the ASPCA and Humane Society take what they can and give nothing in return. [Nathan Winograd] Jim Mims, after a serious public shaming (Greg Fischer, too), had a change of heart on Occupy Louisville. But they forgot to notify the Occupy folks. [WFPL] Hurry and put up that pay wall, Gannett, so [...]

Local Bourbon Legend On Fancy Drink Show

January 17th, 2012 · No Comments

A few weeks ago, we were happy to connect the folks from The Drink Show with bourbon queen Joy Perrine. Nothing will make you more proud to be a Kentuckian than having some of her magic at Jack’s Lounge or Equus in Louisville. So take a look at the latest show, filmed in part in [...]
