Rand Paul is stand-offish and assholish to everybody he meets, it seems. Snubbing folks at the Kentucky Farm Bureau was an embarrassingly bad move on his part. Also, Jack Conway’s pretending to be a Republican. Particularly re: cap & trade, which he has flip-flopped on. A staffer of Jack’s confirmed to me last year that he had to “adjust his position” in order to beat Mongiardo. Guess it’s all about out-Republicaning the Republican. [Joe Arnold]

Two women were found shot in the 2nd Division LMPD parking lot. One of them died. [WAVE3]

I wasn’t going to say anything about this, but lately I’m hearing it over and over. So here’s a cute little open letter.

Having your campaign staff tell advertisers and those I (Jake) interact with that – in no uncertain terms – they may not get city business when you’re elected?

Yeah… That may not be a great way to drum up actual support.

It’s honestly a pretty good way to get me motivated to work against you. That’s something I haven’t actively done.

I’m flattered you take me so seriously. But I’m afraid for this city if this is the behavior you’re going to encourage.

No wonder so many Democrats are supporting Hal Heiner, despite his Fairness stupidity. You people are obsessed.

Cordially,

President Barack Obama on signing the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2010: “Today, I signed the unemployment insurance extension to restore desperately needed assistance to two and a half million Americans who lost their jobs in the recession. After a partisan minority used procedural tactics to block the authorization of this assistance three separate times over the past weeks, Americans who are fighting to find a good job and support their families will finally get the support they need to get back on their feet during these tough economic times. Now it’s time for Congress to act on more proposals that support our economic recovery, including passing critical aid to our states and support to small businesses. Small businesses are the engine of job growth, and measures to cut their taxes and make lending available should not be held hostage to partisan tactics like those that unconscionably held up unemployment insurance.” [Press Release]

Blind Item: What do you do when you run a failed mayoral campaign? Why, ditch your spouse and then shack up with your campaign manager! [Oh, The Rumors!]

Greg Fischer unsuccessfully tried to tie Hal Heiner to teabagger Rand Paul. Hal Heiner successfully tied Greg Fischer to Jerry Abramson. And the A Kentucky Newspaper questioners asked nothing about the Ohio River Bridges nightmare. [WFPL]

Fairdale Bigfoot may be a gay. Or at least a partial gay. His fancy gardening tips involve dance music and shiny stuff. I think it’s time to call that homo aversion therapy joint trying to move into the Clifton neighborhood for help. [Consuming Louisville]

Sunergos, easily one of Louisville’s best coffee joints and roasters (Mike Safai is the reigning god, in my opinion), has opened a joint in the Beechmont neighborhood. Everyone I know in that neck of the woods is raving about it. [Broken Sidewalk]

Usually it’s dirty old men trying to get a look at your catfish when you’re showering at the gym. At Urban Active, however? It’s just bugs and worms. [Eric Flack]

A Louisville asshole has been arrested for animal torture. We can only hope that he’ll be tortured as punishment. And we’re left only to pray for the little dog, because we all know Metro Animal Services will probably let it die in filth. [FOX 41]

Here are some excerpts:

Counts 1 through 3 of the Superseding Indictment allege that Schroeder and Felner used a sham entity, the National Center on Public Education and Prevention (NCPEp), to execute a scheme to defraud and to conspire to do the same. Count 1 charges that they executed a scheme using NCPEp to defraud the National Center on Public Education and Social Policy, a division of URI, (NCPE-URI), the Rock Island County Council on Addiction (RICCA), and the University of Louisville (UofL). Count 2 charges they conspired to use NCPEp to launder the proceeds of the fraud charged in Count 1. Count 3 charges that they conspired to defraud the Internal Revenue Service through, among other means, the use of NCPEp.

-SNIP-

In all instances, NCPEp was invoicing the three school districts, RICCA, and UofL for work it did not complete. The only distinction was that Schroeder, on behalf of the NCPEp, personally invoiced RICCA. The money from all three victims was laundered through NCPEp bank accounts controlled by Schroeder and/or Felner. RICCA was not aware of Schroeder’s involvement with NCPEp. Similarly, NCPE-URI and UofL were not aware of Felner’s involvement with NCPEp.

Last night, Governor Steve Beshear requested a Presidential disaster declaration in light of the terrible flash flooding. Will anyone bring up mountaintop removal? Will I get shot for doing so? And who wants to go up in a small plane to survey the damage and mining sites in the area? [Press Release]

Yesterday I broke a story about UK coach John Calipari hosting a fundraiser (a potentially illegal one being held alongside a non-profit fundraiser) for Steve Beshear and Jerry Abramson. The Frankfort press corps then went crazy because I got my hands on that letter before they did – one guy, from A Kentucky Newspaper, went so far as to call to tell me what an “egotist” I was for not agreeing to let him reprint images of the fundraising letter on our site without attribution. [Page One]

But six hours later, Calipari canceled the fundraiser via – get this – Facebook. He said it was for family reasons (family reasons he already knew about), but folks at UK and in Frankfort express doubt about that, as more than 1,000 invites had already been mailed out. [More Page One]

Metro gubmint’s fancy website got a facelift. Thoughts? [Click the Clicky]

If you have common sense, you totally ignored last night’s mayoral “debate” at Bellarmine, conducted almost entirely by A Kentucky Newspaper. So go read about it and listen to it. Because you’re at work today and don’t have anything else to do. [WFPL]

Greg Fischer – the guy who says he isn’t running a negative campaign- has new spokesperson and policy guy. That guy is spreading some interesting dirt on Hal Heiner. While I believe Heiner has changed his mind a bit since 2004, regrets his expenditure for a poll (this makes him a mental lightweight, in my opinion, for believing he contributed for a poll), and isn’t afraid to discuss it? I think it’s equally odd that the Fischer campaign is engaging in attacks that they believe won’t be tied back to them. [Curt Morrison]

On Saturday, August 7, The Pass and OK DEEJAYS are hosting a pool party at American Turners. 8:00 P.M. to Midnight. $7. Gotta be 18 to get in, 21 to buy alcohol from the cash bar. [Click the Clicky]

Guess who wasn’t abducted! And a live/work gallery is under renovation in the 1000 block of Bardstown Road. [Broken Sidewalk]
