Right-Wing Bigots Tarnish Francene’s Good Name
April 2nd, 2010 · 3 Comments
Brad Montell and Stan Lee are absolutely disgusting human beings. These two idiots – with the aid of bigot Frank Simon – have created HB583, a charter schools bill that they have dubbed… wait for it… The Francene Cucunillo (sic) Act. AN ACT relating to charter schools. Create new sections of KRS Chapter 160 to [...]

Just Who Is This Fancy New WHAS Radio Lady?
March 5th, 2010 · 15 Comments

Connell, a longtime morning show host in Florida, will be taking the helm of our beloved Francene Cucinello’s old home on the radio.

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.

We’re Not The Only City With Education Corruption
March 1st, 2010 · 5 Comments
Remember Robert Felner’s partner in crime, Thomas Schroeder? He gets to keep his position as president of a school board. Despite a federal indictment. Despite a clear cut role in, you know, defrauding schools. Good job, Riverdale, Illinois. [Quad-City Times] The stalled Legacy Lofts project is about to see new life in downtown. Check out [...]

House Resolution 83 Honors Francene Cucinello
January 26th, 2010 · Comments Off
Shortly after Francene’s passing two Fridays ago, I suggested to several Jefferson County legislators that they should file a resolution to adjourn the State House in honor of Francene.
