Last evening we had the opportunity to see Avenue Q at The Louisville Palace and we’ve gotta say: GO SEE IT. Click here to buy tickets for as little as $25. There are five shows remaining through Sunday, April 27. If you enjoy our inappropriate crap here at Page One the […]

No Matz: I wouldn’t know a matzoball from a softball, but the Culture Maven is way concerned about a shortage of matzo at local stores. Conspiracy? Is the Pope behind it? It does seem odd, given the surplus of everything else in stores, that the Jewish staple is missing in a town with a Jewish […]

They’re still letting us on television with our fancy political and newsy commentary and such.
This week we tackled Tom Burch accusing John Yarmuth of selling out, the fancy earthquake and Doug Hawkins’ reign of abject terror.

Gotta love that Doug Hawkins.
The District 25 Metro Councilman has found another issue to promote panic on Dixie Highway, and he’s on it with his hype machine. He’s scheduled a community meeting Wednesday night at the Southwest Government Center, and he’s got one of his newsletters out, asking constituents to call the Water Company and […]

And this time the LEO is all up on the moonbat Metro Councilcritter.
Doug Hawkins’ (R-Protector of Our White Women) fear of those south of the border has grown exponentially over the years into a massive, public show he puts on anytime anyone will listen to him.
The most recent show involves gum balls, Newt Gingrich and […]

Cheap Publicity Stunt: And people get paid for this. And it works, if the goal is to generate publicity. This morning at 6:30, the mayor’s office sent word to media in Tennessee that Kentucky bourbon was on its way to the mayor of Knoxville, the better to help drown his sorrows after Thursday’s basketball game.

Maybe it’s because I just saw Semi-Pro, the Will Ferrell movie about the ABA, but I’m struck by the oddball and over-the-top promotional efforts by the Derby City Rollergirls — who have two “bouts” coming up at the Fair and Expo Center’s West Wing.

Every Democrat with a hundred bucks to throw away on bad food and expensive, watered-down alcohol will be on-hand for the annual Wendell Ford Dinner in Louisville this evening.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Sweetie.
Now that’s a stretch: The latest “Only on Fox” story uncovered the fact that eight rubber gloves were left behind at crime scenes in Louisville. Really. Fox’s Julie Tam actually made a story out of this fact, going so far as to interview a city official, Kerri Richardson, about the supposed “danger” […]

Yesterday, WHAS-TV started promoting a “special report” on restaurant sanitation that it plans to air tonight (Thursday) on its 6 p.m. newscast. That got the attention of our pal Steve Coomes, the editor of our new food and dining blog — Ville Voice Eats. So, without further adieu, we invite you to go and read […]
