Simply put, Ed Worley's Senate Democrats have completely failed to get anything going in the fall campaigns.
Left-winger Jim Keller and Carroll "Elmer Fudd" Hubbard have completely run out of gas in the stretch run. No other Senate Republican faced a serious challenge.

Liberals' Only Issue Gone
Looks like Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) was creepy, gay, and not a pedophile.
Those crazy comparisons to Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) weren't so far off base after all.
Hastert is okay and the unstoppable Democrat landslide takes a huge hit.
This will break Nancy Pelosi's heart. But I still think Ben Chandler will stay put in his minority seat in Congress and continue to refuse to eat lunch with the rest of the Kentucky delegation.

Democrat 2007 Ticket Shaping Up
Democrat insiders report it looks like Brereton Jones is going to pick Crit Luallen as his running mate and run for Governor.
The interesting thing is just as Hillary Clinton is running for President, the man who actually tried HillaryCare will be hoping Kentuckians forgot what damage he and his party did to the health insurance market in 1994.

Ken Lucas In Deep Macaca
Ken Lucas really stepped in it.
The Fairness Alliance folks are hopping mad after the Congressional candidate Ken Lucas said Republicans should have known former Rep. Mark Foley was a pedophile because he is gay.
For the record, most pedophiles are heterosexual and most homosexuals are not pedophiles.

Sen. Ed Worley Caught In Fed Bust
Several news outlets are working on a story about Sen. Ed Worley's involvement in an illegal Ponzi scheme.
Worley may claim the U.S. District Court of Western Kentucky's judgement that he must return $102,800 in fraudulently obtained funds came about as a result of him being duped by his stockbroker, who is now in federal prison for his role in the scheme.
How is it that every time Ed Worley gets caught up in another mess someone is putting money IN his account?
This could only be funnier if they actually found the money in his freezer.

Indiana GOP'ers Support FairTax
Indiana's Congressional delegation includes three co-sponsors of the FairTax -- Mike Pence, Mike Sodrel, and Dan Burton. Kentucky would do well to have such strong leadership on the most important domestic policy issue facing our nation.
Uncovering Lexington Jail Cover-Up
A large group of abuse lawsuits are about to be filed against the Fayette County Detention Center.
It's time for Ronald Bishop to get his resume together.

Really Helping The Middle Class
The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high today and your Social Security is going broke. Democrats have fought to maintain Social Security's status quo for the last two years.
Fayette Jail Admin: Deny And Lie
Ronald Bishop, Director of Lexington's Detention Center should have stuck on "No comment."
This morning on WVLK AM 590's news, he was heard saying about federal whistleblower Corporal John Vest:
"The same thing he is reporting to the FBI, he is guilty of here."
One of the problems Bishop has is that this statement is not true. He should be challenged to back up his inflammatory statements and efforts to deflect attention from the real issue, which is the federal investigation of his jail. The key word is "guilty," which is demonstrably false.
Today looks like a great day to get rid of Ronald Bishop.

Please Tell Me This Is A Sting
The Lexington Herald Leader has a Part-Time job listing in their classified section in which The University of Kentucky is seeking recreational users of cocaine and methamphetamine to study the "physiological and behavioral effects" of these and other drugs.

What Say You, Speaker Hastert?
The Washington Times this morning calls on Speaker Denny Hastert to resign and for Republicans to replace him with Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL), who retires at the end of the year, for the investigation into former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Disgraced Pedophile).
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he does resign quickly. That's the best way to take the focus off the individuals and put it back on doing the right thing.

Mark Foley Looks Like Lone Gunman
Re: Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL), who I never heard of until ABC News printed his sexual instant messages to boys who worked as Congressional pages
The Hastert "lie" was based on the belief that his story contradicted Boehner's story. Now they are saying that what they were aware of -- as were several media outlets and others -- was the "overly-friendly" email and not the sexual instant messages. You can't reasonably be expected to hang someone out to dry for being a little creepy -- that would wipe out most of Congress -- but when the instant messages came out, Foley was on the next bus home. Nothing will mollify the Republican-haters out there, but the facts of this case -- as troubling as they are -- don't seem worthy of condemning the entire party, its leaders, or anyone other than Foley himself. At least not while Rep. William Jefferson, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Rep. Barney Frank and friends cling to their offices despite their hijinks, which have been at least tacitly endorsed by their party.

Fayette Jail Whistleblower Under Attack
Fayette County jail authorities are working up a press conference to attempt to discredit whistleblower Corporal John Vest.
It is pathetic when an individual tries to clean up a horrific situation of physical abuse and all the muckety-mucks can think of is CYA.

Bringing Kentucky -- Kicking And Screaming -- Into Information Age
With most legislative bills in Frankfort passing on nearly unanimous floor votes, it is obvious the real action goes on in committees.
That is why the bipartisan effort to put committee votes online is a no-brainer.
The Bluegrass Institute has the latest...

Lexington's Own Little Abu Ghraib
Very important announcement coming Monday morning regarding the FBI investigation into the Lexington-Fayette County Jail.
I would tell you but -- well, no, I just can't tell you. Stay tuned...

KY Dems October Surprise Unmasked
Saturday update: I mentioned today's actual big story, that Bill Clinton is coming to Kentucky, three weeks ago. As I reported in the comments of that post, Jerry Lundergan denied to me that Clinton was coming. Typical. I wonder how long it will take him to come clean on the Bill Clinton money. I see today's AP story repeats the lie that Hillary's visit last year brought in $600,000. Anyway, the racist thing is coming soon enough, I would imagine.
----------
Those crafty Kentucky Democrats have called a 10 AM press conference for Saturday morning to announce that Republicans are racists.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
The current spin is that Secretary of State Trey Grayson's multi-state initiative to cut down on voter fraud in the last election is under attack by Attorney General Greg Stumbo. For the sake of accuracy, we can really leave Stumbo out of the story for now, though, because his lawsuit has nothing to do with these shenanigans.
Democrats are going to allege that 8000 African-American Kentucky voters were purged from the rolls last year out of sheer Republican meanness. The tiny little problem with this is it is not true.
Not that this will stop them from trying to make hay.
This could be another great opportunity for the blogosphere to shine light on just the latest garbage from the Left. We'll see.
Public records show slightly less than 300 people statewide were questioned erroneously about their voter registration in the last election, but every single one of them voted. Further, the purge was aimed at people who were registered in two different states simultaneously and only affected the older registration.
And the really sad part is there was no racial aspect to the entire project. The computers involved had no knowledge of the race of any voter involved. The African-American community is being abused by Democrats here.
We're ready for you guys.

No Cable TV For Terrorists
The U.S. Senate voted yesterday to go ahead and treat enemy combatants like enemies and not white collar criminals.
Good move. And as you will see, President Hillary Clinton, President Ted Kennedy, President John Kerry, and President Evan Bayh voted for cable tv, three hot meals a day, and free healthcare for terrorists.

Price Fixing Of Wages Hurts Workers
The same folks who are pushing minimum wage tax increases as economic development are now trying to make hay out of a bill that would push more women out of competitive jobs.
Lexington Mayor's Race Is Now Over
Remember when Lexington's eminent domain abuse supporters used to scoff at water company takeover opponents who said "What's next, are you going to takeover Lexmark or Paul Miller Ford?"
Well, Mayor Teresa Isaac just said she wants to take Lexington Mall by eminent domain and turn it into a softball complex.
I am not making this up.
