Meet The New Chief, Same As The Old Chief?

December 5th, 2011 · 3 Comments

Why is it, exactly, that Jim Ramsey never, ever has to answer for people repeatedly stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars on his watch? When this happens at other schools, the buck stops with the individual at the top and they take ultimate responsibility. He’s yet to do so. Ever. For any reason. [C-J/AKN] Will [...]

Fairness Kinda Complains About KY Farm Bureau

August 18th, 2011 · No Comments

Remember a few years ago when the Fairness Campaign wouldn’t do anything to help Todd Eklof when Kentucky Farm Bureau fired him for not hating the gays? Because they were afraid of not be allowed entry to the State Fair? Haha, well… here we are several years later, Eklof has resolved everything on his own [...]

What ELSE Can Go Wrong In Louisville This Week?

July 12th, 2011 · 8 Comments

This is the most ridiculous shiz I’ve ever heard. A law firm saying that inbreeding skews data linking mountaintop removal to birth defects. Worse than Bob Farmer. It’s enough to make us hope every mouth-breather in Appalachia succumbs to Darwin’s theory. Jesus. [WFPL] Yesterday marked the 69th day of Jack Conway’s refusal to deal with [...]

Let’s Bang Our Heads On The Desk Repeatedly

June 29th, 2011 · No Comments

Remember when your momma told you not to say anything if you couldn’t find something nice to say? Yeah, we’ll try really hard not to roll our eyes over that parental farce. We’ll believe the Fairness Campaign is “working hard to implement a statewide anti-discrimination fairness law” when they bother trying to work with Republicans [...]

Wait for it! Here comes the Metro Council with concern over the mayoral slush fund. [WFPL] Every time we read this story about Judy Green asking Hal Heiner to lobby on her behalf, we pee a little.

Mayor McCheese Just Ruins Everything Forever

June 20th, 2011 · 10 Comments

How jacked up is Metro Government? So jacked that it can’t keep track of what paperwork for grants it has and has not received. You can thank Jerry Abramson’s corrupt and disastrous misadministration for that. [C-J/AKN] Looks like “Tan Lines” is getting lots of national attention. Thank goodness folks are filming movies in Kentucky. [indieWIRE] [...]
