March 8th, 2010 · No Comments

In case you missed it, David Williams is forcing the Kentucky State Police to spend untold hundreds of thousands of dollars to guard his but outside the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Meanwhile, he’s got his own bloated staff and hypocritically call for cuts everywhere but his budget. [Page One]

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:

To answer some [...]

Check out this press advisory from early Sunday morning:

The intersection of Hurstbourne Lane and Bardstown Road. A location that doesn’t exist.
Here’s Hurstbourne Lane:

Could they mean the intersection of Hurstbourne Parkway and Bardstown Road?

Locals may laugh at me for pointing this out. You may say, “Everyone knows Hurstbourne!” But the reality? All [...]

PR Executive Makes An Interesting Request

February 17th, 2010 · 12 Comments

On February 11th we discussed unsolicited press releases and developing personal relationships with local businesses that take communication seriously:
At a time when local businesses are suffering – and while our readership of two major sites is exploding – why can’t we work together and do a better job? Sending a nearly blank email that says [...]

Following Up on Swift-227 Character Attack

February 9th, 2010 · 6 Comments

Friday we discussed JBS Swift and Local 227’s decision to personally attack the attorney representing the Butchertown Neighborhood Association along with his wife. You’ll recall the absurd claims that seemed to be pulled from thin air.
Fast forward to today. Motion withdrawn. Lawyers admitted to the newspaper that several assumptions were made. [...]

On January 11 I told you about the baloney situation at the Speed Museum. In summary: hot mess.
Which brings me to today… time for a fancy update.
On January 30 a show of baloney/bologna artworks went on display at Smoketown USA. And, well, let’s just take a look at the event and [...]

Thieneman Just Doesn’t Care for Hal Heiner

February 2nd, 2010 · 4 Comments

Earlier I shared Hal Heiner’s job plan with you.
Now I’d like you to read Chris Thieneman’s statement, attacking Heiner for creating jobs in the metro area:
“On September 15, 2009, when Mr. Heiner announced he was running for mayor, he said that he had experience in job attraction and when it came to jobs ‘[He] knew [...]

David Tandy Decides to Bring Up Zoning

January 22nd, 2010 · 3 Comments

David Tandy released a 30-page vision (Warning: External PDF Link) for Louisville this week and a portion of that “vision” included a page on zoning, which literally blows my mind.
Because he’s clearly trying to push a little bit of revisionist history on the Democratic voters in Louisville.
*cough* Swift/BOZA *cough*
Let’s take a look, beginning on page [...]

Maybe Local Businesses Don’t Have a Filter

January 20th, 2010 · 6 Comments

Look, I hate to be a party pooper… but let’s call a spade a spade.
That VIP Card email promising to donate $10 for every VIP Card sold? Kind of disingenuous.
Save big this year and help the humanitarian situation of the impoverished island nation of Haiti!
Order your card online at the following and $10 [...]

My Baloney Has a First Name – It’s S-P-E-E-D

January 11th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Let me break it down for you: the Speed Museum has really stepped on its hangdown and local artists are about to pop a vein.
FROM THE FACEBOOK GROUP

In December the Speed Museum announced an open call for art from local folks. The museum’s honchos have asked for anonymous artists to donate their 5×7 [...]
