I wanted to stop by and drop a couple more thoughts on what’s shaping up to be a super-busy day–to the point that you probably won’t hear from me until returns come rolling in. There are always, for whatever reason, candidates in American politics that don’t take off, but that [...]
We went to vote here in our fancy and elitist liberal neighborhood of Crescent Hill/Clifton this A.M. and there were almost no yard signs within 200 feet of the polling location. No one electioneering, either. Guess there really IS a first time for everything!
Rick, that old man who writes [...]
Are you
ready to vote? Today, citizens across the state will be going to
the polls to vote in Kentucky's primary election. Candidates at all
levels of government, from local races all the way to presidential
nominees, will be voted on, narrowing the field for the General Election
in November. Needless [...]
Often chaotic, Lynn's Paradise Cafe was a scene of near-bedlam at noontime as Hillary and Bill Clinton made a campaign appearance.
Arriving with a police escort in a fleet of SUVs, about 40 minutes behind schedule, the Clintons lingered briefly in the off-beat restaurant's gift shop, and then appeared, [...]
| A mountaintop removal site in Montgomery Creek |
Residents of Montgomery Creek in Perry County are resisting efforts by International Coal Group (ICG) to add more than 200 acres to its already 1,600-acre mountaintop removal [...]

By about 11:30 a.m. today, 411 voters had cast ballots in the primary election at two precincts at St. Andrew United Church of Christ, 2608 Browns Lane.

This from Tim Graham at Newsbusters:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin isn't just a pro-life politician. She recently proved she's pro-life by personal example. In an age when many parents receive the news that they're carrying a baby with Down syndrome and then "terminate" the pregnancy," Gov. Palin gave birth to [...]
At least that’s the view from CNN this morning.
Kentucky’s poorest county– and one of the poorest in the country– was featured on CNN in a story about voter apathy. Let’s just say it was disappointing that CNN chose to portray the worst of the worst and leave it at that. [...]
Well, if this isn’t the ultimate way to stick it to an incoming Democrat, I don’t know what is: The Israeli press is under the impression that we’re going to begin bombing Iran before January 20th, 2009. And how bad of an idea is this? The report claims that the [...]
"It’s good to be an American." With those words Mel Brooks, one of only a few people to win an Emmy, an Oscar, a Tony, and a Grammy, accepted another award on April 17 at Ellis Island: The 2008 Ellis Island Family [...]
I hope you stocked up on booze yesterday, because you’re SOL until after the polling places close. Something tells me that you won’t *really* have to worry about stocking up until the general elections in November, though.
Check out the ballots where you live here, and double-check your polling [...]

Reporters swarmed to Bruce Lunsford, the likely Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, when he arrived at his Highlands precinct to vote a few minutes after 8 a.m.
To avoid electioneering too close to the polling place, Lunsford held court on the sidewalk adjacent to a Dairy Queen restaurant on [...]
Finally! This dude's seemingly sole purpose for being was to suppress black and minority voting. From TPM
Democrats have opposed Spakovsky's nomination ever since last year, but it was the opposition of Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Russ Feingold (D-WI), who refused to allow any vote on the
