“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large [...]

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks. The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves. So, the whole [...]

Last year Kentucky elected a new governor to replace the one we had. The one we had had been accused of inappropriate hiring practices. That never was resolved since the person making the charges decided to drop the charges so he could run for governor, and lose.
So, Kentucky ( not me ) elected a guy [...]

A rising star of the Democrat Party, Eliot Spitzer gained fame prosecuting corporations among other things as Attorney General. Now he’s in deep doo-doo. I’m still waiting for Nancy Pelosi to cite him as yet another example of the Democrat Culture of Corruption.
Quickie update: Everyone with a keyboard has had something to say about Spitzer. Well, [...]

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 $58,000. [...]

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 [...]

We had an election last night here in Kentucky. This is how MSNBC interpreted it:
Cyclist Lance Armstrong and Kentucky’s new governor were among the few people who could get voters to embrace change on a day they seemed inclined to re-elect incumbents and reject ballot measures calling for new proposals.
I tired long ago of pointing [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

In 2004, President Bush’s ratings were totally in the basement. John Kerry was trashing Bush in the polls, and the media was laughing at Bush’s ineptitude. John Kerry then went to war with some former Vietnam vets that he absolutely would not get over. He hounded and hounded and hounded that one [...]
