Yesterday in Frankfort, independent gubernatorial candidate Gatewood Galbraith made a funny:

[Galbraith] told members of the United Mine Workers of America that people suggested 30 years ago that he was 30 years ahead of his time, then drew laughs when he added: “Here we are.” [AP, via WLKY]

Haw! Sources also tell us that the tireless libertarian gave a rousing speech at last month’s Terrapin Hill music festival, his words invoking the water god Neptune, who saw fit to deluge the attending hippies with several feet of cleansing rain. In any event this darkhorse, little-campaign-that-should has started a nifty Facebook group, where discussions on issues can be held and questions can be asked of the candidate. So before you accept the inevitably of a Beshear-Abramson ticket in 2011, give ol’ Gatewood a gander.
