Less than three weeks after Abortion Sally was caught pillaging the NKU campus, two copy cat vandals struck Lawrence County High School.
Yesterday, they were caught as well. Fortunately for them, they couldn't afford a nitwit liberal defense attorney like Abortion Sally hired to spin mayhem as free speech.
Stupid kids, but at least they didn't out themselves as pro-abortion fanatics.

Day of Shame: Jane Fonda Visits Lexington, KY
Saturday morning loads of liberals will be bussed in to red states like Kentucky for a door-to-door complain-athon. And Jane Fonda will be in town to sell her book to war protesters at Lexington Center.
It is a big day for the Kentucky Democratic Party. I wonder which one excites them more, Hillary Clinton or Jane Fonda?

Hyperventilating Over Gas Prices?
Here is a little sanity from Thomas Sowell.
Not that sanity will help the people clamoring for a windfall profits tax to "get" the oil companies. As Sowell points out, taxing windfall profits without making corresponding allowances for windfall losses will cause damage to the oil industry we really can't afford.

Ben Sticks It To The Taxpayer
House Democrats have voted three times in the last month to kill the extension of the Bush tax cuts.
Fortunately, they failed all three times.
Predictably, Rep. Ben Chandler (D-Versailles) voted (today for the third time) to increase your taxes with his liberal buddies.
Sheesh!

"Abortion Sally" Charged With Theft
NKU professor Sally Jacobsen has been charged with vandalizing and stealing part of a pro-life display on the college's campus.
Her nitwit attorney's quote in this AP story suggests Sally is in for rough sailing when she goes in front of the judge. Margo Grubbs is the attorney's name.
"The intent was just an expression of freedom of speech," Grubbs said. "She saw harm coming from it, and she was just expressing her attitude toward the harm."
Even in your upside-down worldview, Ms. Grubbs, stealing and destroying personal property is a lot worse than a peaceful demonstration against killing babies.

Liberal Takeover of South Lexington Sputtering
Democrat Senate candidate James Keller is floundering in his effort to bring a liberal voice to South Lexington.
His campaign finance report will show that he has donated $5000 of his total balance of $7400. Senator Alice Forgy Kerr, a conservative Republican, reports a balance of $50,659.59.
Maybe the busloads of left-wing canvassers coming in to Lexington this Saturday can cheer Keller up a little.
Get your money out now, Jim.

Politicians For Polar Bears
Kentuckians who might be a little disappointed by the small cuts to Kentucky's budget have to be warpath-bound by House Speaker Jody Richards' latest bid to become Minority Floor Leader.
"I will emphasize in the future never to let that happen again," Richards said of the cuts. "We have a moral obligation to put all these projects back."
I guess the Louisville-bound polar bears can take solace in that, as they wait for their $6 million appropriation to get rescued in January.

Budget Mess
The projects cut from the state budget tonight will reinstated next year. Unfortunately, we are still over two billion dollars in the hole and show no signs of fixing our overspending problem or our long-term shortfall in the state employee pension fund.
Damn...
Damn...
The Best Disinfectant Is KyVotes.Org
Frankfort insiders freaked out last year when the Bluegrass Institute asked for General Assembly floor votes to be published online. When they saw the train bearing down on them, they jumped on board and www.kentuckyvotes.org had a strong presence in the state this session.
Well, now the freak out is over BIPPS' request for committee votes. We expect a similar outcome, when the whining and complaining runs its course.
If you are interested in helping expose the inner workings of official Frankfort, you will want to attend a special lunch in Frankfort this Thursday.
See you there!

On Politics and Gas Prices
Hastert and Frist are decrying Exxon CEO Lee Raymond's compensation package, claiming that too many Americans can't buy groceries and put gas in their cars.
I don't like paying $3 for a gallon of gas either, but this mindless rhetoric from top Republicans is just ridiculous. We don't need Congressional hearings into gas prices and pay for oil execs. We need leaders who can take a break from the pandering long enough to pursue real domestic issues like entitlement and tax reform. Screaming about gas prices doesn't solve anything except make politicians feel better.
This guy agrees. He is no Bush fan, but he quotes internal Democrat memos encouraging their candidates to do campaign appearances at gas stations. Don't suggest any solutions, they say, just complain and rail against all things GOP.
The truth is the best thing we can do to lower prices is to drive less. Americans are showing some willingness and ability to do this, but not much. The obvious corollary to this supply/demand problem is that gas prices aren't too high. Yet. But it is political silly season, so don't expect much intelligent discourse on this very soon.

We Need Communist Free Radio In Kentucky
Jane Fonda is coming to Lexington April 29. That should be enough of a problem. More troublesome (for any of you anti-communists out there) is that she seems to have some friends here.
To be more specific, she has some friends here who hold FCC licenses and might be a little troubled by an effort to protest the renewal of said licenses.
Are you following me so far?
OK, here's the deal: LM Communications' 96.1 FM and Eastern Kentucky University's campus radio station WEKU are sponsors for Jane Fonda's invasion of the Bluegrass.
Here is the site.
You know what to do, don't you?
Try going here. Might also be a good idea to let these people know about it. And an earful for these guys is definitely in order.

Newberry: Insert Political BS Here
Lexington Mayoral hopeful Jim Newberry's tv commercials are full of a lot of the same platitudes he has built his campaign on. Watching his most recent pitch, though, I was struck by his promise to end the bickering and political infighting.
How the heck is he going to do that?
Incidentally, Councilman Bill Farmer's ads are on the air.
Good timing.

Democrats To Tell Us What They Really Think?
I spoke yesterday to a conference of the Kentucky Association of Government Communicators. Mark Nickolas of Bluegrass Report joined me in a presentation about blogging.
At one point, Mark said Democrats need to develop the same kind of message discipline Republicans have had.
I would like to see that. Democrats in Washington are pushing hard for tax increases and surrendering against terrorists. They should certainly do a better job of getting that word out.

Conservatism: The Answer To Immigration Trouble
Human Events has an interesting article about immigration. It isn't a new idea, but the point is a good one that conservatives need to be pounding on: economies run on conservative principles work better than those run on the liberal/socialist model.
It should be clear that if Mexico had an economy like ours, their people wouldn't need to risk life and limb fleeing to America for a chance at a better life. We are enabling their liberal inner child, really. So if we start treating the lawbreakers like lawbreakers (felon sounds about right) and going after employers who hire illegals, we should clear them out pretty quickly. The spread of socialism in central America will slow when the countries that adopt those policies are forced to pay their own price. Right now, we pay the price and it is getting too expensive.

Hillary Squeezed Out of Liberal Convention
Hillary Clinton's move to the Left for 2008 has been frustrated mightily as Kentucky Progress has learned that the Daily Kos annual convention will feature her opponent Mark Warner and not her.
Getting a picture of Gov. Warner with liberal flamethrower Markos Moulitsas will be a big help for '08. But for now, just imagining Hillary, rejected by her own, seething and throwing lamps makes today a good day.

Worley No-Shows Pro-Lifers
Sen. Ed Worley (D-Richmond) has done little to endear himself to Christians in 2006.
Despite the trail of fraud scandals plaguing the Senate Democrat Leader, Madison County Right to Life organizers invited him to a forum they held last night. Worley accepted the invite.
Then he didn't show. (free registration required)
The money quote of the evening from the Register story: "Worley has been weakened, Metcalf said. “since I lost to him four years ago by only 1,700 votes. He creates limited liability companies to hide nefarious business deals. He has used his positions as Richmond city manager and then as state senator to increase his own wealth and further his own ambition.”
