News Or Not: Insight Communications Sucks

March 10th, 2010 · 3 Comments

The entirety of Clifton/Crescent Hill has been screwed by Insight the past week.
Spotty service, failures and the run-around. Yesterday a friend called tech support to be told their modem couldn’t be reached. Well, duh, the entire ‘hood was effed up.
If Insight’s service functioned as advertised, we’d upgrade. And this post wouldn’t be [...]

Friday Morning Dept Of Some Things Are Just Bad

March 5th, 2010 · 5 Comments

A couple of Greg Fischer’s campaign staffers spent most of yesterday telling everybody from PRP to Frankfort that Jim King was dropping out of the mayoral race because of his son’s health condition. Wonder how ridiculous they feel now that the entirety of the press know that’s not the case and that JCTA endorsed him? [...]

Felner Co-Conspirator Treated Like a King

March 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Robert Felner’s co-conspirator is be treated with kid gloves in his hometown. The local school board is ignoring his corruption and the fact that Robert Felner will do 63 months in a white collar prison. Apparently defrauding children out of millions in education dollars means Schroeder and Felner are a-okay.
But the Quad-City Times [...]

From Capt. Obvious: Bunning May Be A Kentucky Asshole, But He’s A National Embarrassment

March 1st, 2010 · 16 Comments

Don’t like the language? Then you aren’t capable of confronting reality.
What happens when you combine old age, senility and all-around assholery? You get Jim Bunning, the bigoted Repulican who has taken it upon himself to single-handedly starve everybody and their mother.
BUNNING IN HIS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

Here’s a fancy video of Bunning’s objection:

Dear Greg Fischer: Doing This Again?

March 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Really, Greg Fischer? Going down the campaign finance wormhole again?
While I think this is cool:

You probably shouldn’t let your state campaign staff do work on behalf of a federal candidate (Daniel Mongiardo, the person who organized this event). The appearance of impropriety is everything when it comes to this sort of [...]

Monday Morning Dept of Frankfort’s Screwing Us

February 22nd, 2010 · 11 Comments

Let’s just go ahead and say it: moving your business out of Louisville because you can’t get enough direct flights or find local financing is silly. I like Rob May, but come on. Surely he misspoke. If you’re a tech company, you’ve got the skills to travel way less. I fly just [...]

ALERT! Courier-Journal Passively Hits Abramson

February 20th, 2010 · 5 Comments

Check it:
It’s never a good thing when solid public health policy is sidetracked by wobbly-kneed politics.
-SNIP-
Mayor Jerry Abramson’s backbone went missing, and he declared publicly that he wouldn’t support a ban.
