  • More jobs lost.

    From the AP:

    GLASGOW, Ky. (AP) -- A gearing production plant will move from southern Kentucky to Mexico and take about 100 jobs with it sometime this year.

  • Hillary doing shots in IN at a campaign event.



    To avoid the criticism of hypocrisy, I have been known to partake in KY's finest on occasion.
    However,
    1) the Secret Service isn't usually present (apparently trying to talk her out of it). 2) I am not running for the highest office in the land.

  • Who's to blame?

    As I stated in my previous post (see below), I've been quite introspective of late. I have been intentionally staying away from my usual reading of various philosophers, ignored the pleas for money from the RNC (like I believe that Mrs. Bush is pleading with me to fund the party),' [...]

  • It's Been A While

    I have been extremely busy with life for the past 6 months or so. This time off has been good for me. I've had several major (some life-altering) events take place in these few short months. These events, both negative and positive, have led to a good deal of introspection.' [...]

    A lot of people are asking that question today. It is September 11, after all. I would encourage all who read this little post to remember that today is September 11, 2007, not 2001. Am I asking that you forget the innocents lost, the families destroyed, the heroes whose bright [...]

  • String Bikinis for Toddlers?

    From: The Consumerist

    The Arizona Republic is reporting that Gap Kids now offers a crochet string bikini for 1 year-olds.

    You have got to be kidding me.

    I hadn't seen it anywhere else in the state, so I'll provide the quote here:

    ``This is a divisive issue'' for both parties, said McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. But, he said, ``I don't think there's a single member of either party next year who is going to fail to [...]

  • Shiny New TAXES!

    From MSN
    The era of tax-free e-mail, Internet shopping and broadband connections could end this fall, if recent proposals in the U.S. Congress prove successful.

    State and local governments resumed a push to lobby Congress for far-reaching changes on two different fronts: gaining the ability to impose sales [...]

    In a move that may make for the rebirth of common sense in American politics, Cindy Sheehan has left the Democratic Party. She is calling for a formation of a new party citing creation of the Republican Party which led to the downfall of the Whig party.

    Beth Embry's family visits the Flatwoods Cemetery every Memorial Day.

    "Its just a lot of family here. This means a lot to us," Embry said.

    John Hawkins at Right Wing News has the right idea. I'm here to support this idea whole-heartedly. Remember the Miers nomination fiasco? That was the most effective grass-roots conservative campaigns to influence their representation that I have seen. Fast-forward to today.
