Joe published this yesterday, but take a look again:
That’s right. It’s Daniel Mongiardo openly telling you where he stands on womens issues. According to folks who were there, Lt. Dan raised his hand on two separate times to admit he was pro-life.
Shocking that this would [...]
The Herald-Leader editorial board takes Gas Station Governor Steve Beshear and the rest of Frankfort to task for refusing to do anything about tax reform/lying about reality:

Really, Republican Party of Kentucky? This is the best you can come up with? Trying to tie Jodie Haydon to Nancy Pelosi?
I know you have better material than this to use against Haydon. But I guess I’ve been right all along. The RPK is becoming [...]
Kimberly Greenwell, the Steve Henry apologist and everybody-hater who will lose to Ron Crimm, says she will “fight to protect Kentucky’s women.”
In her latest email blast (she’s still illegally spamming us at multiple email addresses), however, she gets terribly confused:
Right now if you are a woman in Kentucky [...]
I am shocked - just shocked - that Alliance Resource Partners has dropped $400,000 on Kentucky candidates and expects no favors. Also, KDP’s recycled spokeswoman is a, well, just, uh. HAHAHA. Jesus H. KDP is effed, kids. Totally effed. It’s like the entirety of Frankfort is brain-dead and the deadest [...]
Really? Why even issue a statement if you’ve yet to get a final decision?
Here’s the statement just released from the Governor’s Office:
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Nov. 19, 2009) – “Until now, we had been encouraged by the possibility of Harley-Davidson coming to Kentucky. However, with the recent union vote and published reports, [...]
Dear Gas Station Governor: over-hyping a story about a garden will not take the focus of your corrupt firing practices. Nor will it take the focus off your ignorance of tax policy in both the Commonwealth and the United States of America. [Press Release]
Steve Nunn pleaded not guilty to [...]
David Williams says tax reform is the answer to Kentucky’s budget problems. But does he understand that tax reform doesn’t mean tax cuts for the rich? Probably not.
But is that any worse than the RIDICULOUS HORSE SHIZ rolling out of the Gas Station Governor’s office?
The governor has [...]
There is this video on the YouTube, with some girl talking about numbers that scare her, and we cannot stop laughing:

Okay, dudes, what the crap is with Kathy Groob?
She had her attorney send a letter to HinesSight & Russell Street News demanding that the site’s owner remove the hilarious Democrat Dominatrix photograph. An image clearly Photoshopped for the purposes of parody and humor.
Let’s take a look at the [...]
So, kids, it’s official. Tom Riner - the guy who embarrassed the crap out of Kentucky when he went crazy trying to say “God” is responsible for homeland security, the notorious homophobe, the man whose wife continually steals Democratic positions within the Democratic Party, the guy who consistently buys the [...]

Daniel Mongiardo reported just $10,000 in income as a surgeon on his federal financial disclosure, zero dollars on his state disclosure. But he billed Medicaid a whopping $679,142.
That’s right. He collected $43,200 from Kentucky taxpayers while billing Medicaid for removing ear wax.
From the latest Conway camp press release:
Dr. Daniel Mongiardo [...]
The big thing floating around Frankfort this week is the alleged story of Jodie Haydon being less than friendly to the working man.
The story goes something like this: Haydon purchased a quarry and solidified an agreement with the quarry’s prior owner to fire all employees so they’d be forced to [...]
LEO Weekly’s Phillip Bailey is quickly becoming one of the top journalists in the state. His story in this week’s issue about an FBI informant warning of hate groups should be required reading.
Here’s an excerpt:
For three years, Aryan Nation leaders believed Hall was a trusted member — he traveled across [...]
It’s a sad time for journalism all over the Commonwealth.
But it’s extra-sad with the news that the Associated Press has laid off Joe Biesk, a veritable fixture of Frankfort.
We wish Joe and his family all the best.

Somebody please watch that video above and tell me if it sucks. I saw Lt. Dan in the background looking all smirky.

Lt. Dan, long someone who screams “electronic medical records” any time and every time health care is brought up, might just be wrong after all.
Turns out a new study - written about in today’s New York Times - reveals that little benefit has been seen in electronic patient records:
But a [...]
Lt. Dan can be a whiny ass titty baby all he wants when it comes to Jack Conway’s personal finances. Cause reality is quite bad for Daniel Mongiardo.

It’s not surprising that David Tandy has flip-flopped on the Swift-Butchertown battle. This political empty suit couldn’t pick an issue and stick to it if his career depended on it. It’s a shame he doesn’t have the courage not to flip-flop. [The ‘Ville Voice]

Why does Rand Paul’s campaign manager continually try to incite violence?
