Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.

I read this post on Independent Sources and loved it so much I thought I’d run with it here. Namely: 37-year old Arelia Margarita Taveras is an attorney with a serious ethics problem. She also has a gambling problem and lost her law practice, her apartment and her parents’ home, and she owes the IRS [...]
Here’s part of the agenda of a recent governmental entity: 5. Discussion on a proposal to express Solidarity with Firestone Natural Rubber Company Workers in Liberia, and formulation of a recommendation to City Council. 6. Discussion on the Subcommittee on United Nations Reports and a recommendation to extend the Subcommittee through December 2008 7. Discussion [...]
Originally, I thought this was going to be the idiot of the day. Then, I was going to morph into Big Brother run amok. But, the story reads a lot different than the obvious. State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety [...]
The entire time Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher was in office, Attorney General Greg Stumbo dogged him about hiring people based on political patronage. Stumbo even went so far as to file corruption charges and seat a grand jury before dropping the charges so that he could run for governor himself. People of Kentucky bought into [...]
I have written a lot on Louisiana’s propensity to condone corruption in their government. From governor to mayors to congressmen, it just seemed to be an accepted part of doing business. No matter how bad things got, they just kept sending the same people back. William Jefferson’s still there, Ray Nagin’s still there, Blanco decided [...]
In case you haven’t seen the news or watched ANY tv at all, Idaho US Senator Larry Craig got busted for making gay advances in a Minnesota restroom stall. Pretty nutty stuff there. He pleaded no contest and will face a fine among other thins I assume. His bigger problem will be keeping his job. [...]
In 2000, George W. Bush won the electoral college. He however, lost the popular vote. The election was so close that Al Gore challenged one state in an effort to change the outcome of the election. The only reason it was that close was because Gore focused on a hand full of huge electoral prizes [...]
A central theme in this year’s gubernatorial race in Kentucky has been the consistant charge of how corrupt the current governor’s administration has been. Fletcher was hit with several charges of illegal hiring practices by the current attorney general, Greg Stumbo. When Stumbo decided to run for governor, this presented a conflict of interest. So, [...]
I really don’t get too terribly involved in local elections outside of my region, but this one should be fun to watch if it materializes: Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against [...]
Here in Kentucky, we had to endure a rather ugly political fight for about a year ( it felt like a LOT longer ). Attorney General Greg Stumbo indicted Governor Ernie Fletcher and just about everyone that worked for Fletcher in any shape or capacity. As soon as the indictments were released, every media outlet [...]
