I did hear a report about this, yesterday I think, on NPR, but you're right about the media. They may be liberal in some respects, but when it comes to matters of abuse of power by the U.S. government, they are extraordinarily silent.

I see, the interesting rest of the story. The buyer, predictably, left negative feedback, after paying over $800 for these beanies, got 5 fakes in the bunch. She also contended that the seller did not even have an ex-wife. If the seller is to be believed, the buyer had actually been blocked from bid...

Interesting listing. I suspect the guy really knows what he's doing, and is selling counterfeits. The whole thing about the ex-wife left a box (and never realized it?), and all he wants is tools from Home Depot does not ring true. The only tools he wants are the bidders willing to throw big bucks at...

Kinda hard to avoid. It was the leading story on the Today show this morning. No surprise, really, as our President is probably more beloved in this state than in any other besides maybe Texas. Go figure.

Start with Hounds of Love and go from there. If you've already determined you like her, just skip to the box set, which gives you her best work, like the first 6 or so CDs plus a CD of rarities that can't be bought elsewhere. I wouldv'e gone that route but already had them all and couldn't justify t...

The reason I haven't ordered this EP yet is because the website indicates that Ben intends to release a full length album after releasing 3 of these EPs. What the site doesn't indicate is whether the album will consist of all the tracks on the EPs or whether the EPs will contain exclusive tracks. As...

Well, it's a pretty rare occurrence for a Republican to win the Governorship here in Kentucky. I think Nunn back in the early 70s was the last Republican to win. Still, Fletcher is the most viable candidate they've fielded in quite awhile. It should definitely be an interesting general election.

Well, the thing about Lunsford's ads is they're so disingenuous and deceptive. He has been running ads with Dr. Grady Stumbo and Barbara Edelman castigating Chandler. What the ads don't disclose is that Stumbo is not only a Dr. but also Lunsford's campaign manager, and that Edelman is not only a for...

What, is this a Kentucky-only thread? I'm a registered Republican, although I'm a bit subversive and only do it to vote against the favored candidate. Naturally, I'm voting for Nunn over Fletcher. Hopefully, Chandler will ultimately win. My family knows him, and you need to know someone if you want ...
