It is an enigma I have long struggled to understand. Anyone in the state of Kentucky voting Republican. For a while now we have had mostly Republican representation in the Congress except for the mixed bag voting record of Blue Dog Ben Chandler. Only with the inclusion of Congressman Awesome John Yarmuth from the Third District have working Kentucky families had a solid voice in the Congress on all issues. Now the price of voting against our own interests is catching up with us.
For a long time now we have had a problem in Kentucky. While our state has a wide majority of Democrats, we have several Congressional seats that remain Republican, have two Republican Senators, and vote on a national level in Presidential elections Republican. Now it appears as if we will have a leader of our state party who donated too the two worst Republicans of all, disgraced former Governor Ernie Fletcher and the Darth Vader of Kentucky politics, Mitch McConnell. To me, this shows the weakness of our party as a whole. Their are too many apologists for the Corporate Republican ideology within our state and national party and the best thing they can do is leave our party, not lead it.

Joe Prather’s Good Luck With The New Bullion Boulevard project. Luckily, the planned new Bullion Boulevard road project is designed to access the development properties that have ownership by former Transportation Secretary Joseph W. Prather. These properties are in the name of Silver Gate Properties, LLC that includes Joseph W. Prather, his son, and another person. Back in April 16, 2008, the Transportation Secretary requested the Executive Branch Ethics Review Commission to provide an advisory opinion about this potential conflict of interest. His request pointed out that a proposed new road would pass close enough to some of his personal property to increase the value of that property.
The resulting May 9, 2008 ethics Advisory Opinion 8-11stated “In order to avoid any actual conflicts of interests, you should not be involved in your official capacity in any decision relating to that property no matter how indirect that involvement may be. Further, no one under your supervision within the Cabinet (essentially all employees) should be involved in future discretionary decisions needed to complete the project if such decisions affect the LLC’s property or property value, since knowledge by employees of your ownership in the property could affect the employees’ decisions.”
I have long believed that my state of Kentucky could benefit greatly from the "Fuels of the Future". Clean, renewable fuels grown by Kentuckians on Kentucky farmland and refined in many of the shut-down factories and plants that dot our landscape. I have always felt that Kentucky is in a unique position to lead our country in this new industry to provide cleaner, cheaper fuels for our country and the world.
You know how when we start talking about raising taxes on the rich, who have gotten a free pass the last few decades how some Conservative politician or idiot radio-type is always bantering about how the richest 2% pay more than half in taxes or some garbage like that. Well, as always with the greediest and least patriotic among us that talk is just that, garbage.
Before I begin let me say this. I'm not taking sides in the Democratic Primary, but I am taking sides with right and wrong.
After listening to Daniel Mongiardo many times and shooting video of him on many occasions, I've come to the conclusion the voice in the recordings, here and here are not Daniel Mongiardo's.
Let me make my case. If you disagree there's a place to at the end of this post to express your disagreement.
Ah, it appears as if Democrats in the Kentucky blogosphere have yet another member. None other than the Governor of our fair Commonwealth has joined our ranks. Gov. Steve Beshear has created his own blog to update progress on his agenda.
Gov. Beshear has called a special session later this month to deal with Kentucky's economic shortfall. It is being reported now that slots at Kentucky's racetrack will play a role in that session too. Beshear has added a measure to the agenda that allow Video Lottery Terminals at racetracks in Kentucky, which are feeling the economic pinch.
In these tough times everyone seems to be having trouble making ends meet. Many states are no exception. Unfortunately, our state of Kentucky is no exception. We are facing the largest budget shorfall in the Commonwealth's modern history.
Budget shortfalls are nothing new in Kentucky. This year with Kentucky's economy facing hard times like so many others that shortfall stands at a staggering $1 billion. While their seem to be plenty of ideas for alleviating this, thusfar no one idea has caught fire with lawmakers.
