Son of a bitch: Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo’s U.S. Senate campaign continues to flog the ridiculous non-story of Attorney General Jack Conway’s “profane” outburst at Fancy Farm two weekends ago, wherein the handsome-devil AG referred to himself (in the worst feigned hillbilly accent I’ve ever heard) as “one tough son of a bitch.” Collective gasp, then slow exhale. I’m reminded of George Carlin’s “Seven Dirty Words,” most of which are considered actual profanity by mainstream society, unlike the phrase “son of a bitch.” I wonder how many of those fancy nouns Mongiardo uttered last month when he realized Conway more than doubled his fundraising. For some sober commentary on this load of bullshit being flung by a weak and puerile Mongiardo campaign, check out (profanity alert!) David Hawpe. And don’t bother reading Al Cross’s take. Kentucky’s resident milquetoast political scribe, strangely anointed some time ago as an authority on KY politics, even though evidence gathered from years of his writing suggests he’s more dipshit than sage (Exhibit A: the afore-linked column, in which Cross writes about a non-story as a non-story, all the while suggesting it’s a story), offers up another meat-ball down the middle. And here’s a Survey USA poll (via Ville Voice) suggesting people don’t much care.

Make it rain: Remember that 1,000-year flood we had last week? We do. Well, it looks like more is on the way. Hail is on the radar, and heavy rains that could cause, ahem, some flash flooding. Get your floaties out.

Speaking of: And while we’re on the issue of The Flood, Metro has opened some sites to drop off all your waterlogged junk.

If you’re out: Stop by the GOP protest of Rep. John Yarmuth’s position on health care — he’s for it, for everybody, by way of government intervention — at his downtown office, 600 Martin Luther King Jr. Place. GOP chair Brad Cummings asked that protestors be professional and respectful in their disturbing of the relative peace.
