A Worrying Trend In Lieu Of Health Reform

November 10, 2009 – 5:35 pm

A friend of mine brought to my attention one of those “bursting cyst” videos that make the internet the mysterious and enchanting place that we know and love it to be. After watching one after the other, however, it became apparent that there are too many people performing home surgeries on their cysts in this [...]

Something About ‘Health Care Reform’…

November 9, 2009 – 1:23 pm

Over the weekend, your House of Representatives passed a bill that would, depending on who you listen to, make health care coverage affordable for the vast majority of Americans or plunge the nation into a dark netherworld of socialism, its discontents and large, building-sized pictures of Josef Stalin.
Although we’re inclined to think it’s the former (for obvious [...]

Paradoxes Already Rampant in 2010 Election

June 29, 2009 – 4:39 pm

So I just read PageOne’s take on Jack Conway’s hideous and recently retracted Google ad, which appeared as though it had been designed by a four-year-old using MS paint with a broken mouse (because I know), yet, in true quantum-mechanical fashion, the observation has become as important as the observed object.
Put another way, their take [...]

Bunning’s Approval Rating Obviously Terrible

May 21, 2009 – 8:45 pm

Joe Gerth over at The Courier-Journal has unearthed this latest tell-tale sign that Sen. Jim Bunning will, in fact, lose horribly should he live long enough to participate in next spring’s primary:

“[Public Policy Polling], which uses automated phone calls — which many question the accuracy — found Jim Bunning had the third worst approval ratings of [...]

Bunning’s Into The Nautical Metaphors Again…

May 21, 2009 – 11:35 am

A pitiful-sounding group called the National Taxpayers Union (founded circa 650 BCE by James Dale Davidson, of NewsMax infamy) has just bestowed a prestigious award to our beloved Sen. Jim Bunning.
Why? BECAUSE HE HATES TAXES!!!!!

The group awarded Bunning the Taxpayers’ Friend Award on Wednesday for votes he has cast on measures affecting federal spending, taxes, [...]

Say Anything, Jim.

May 19, 2009 – 12:06 pm

So sad, really, when two of your friends just can’t get along… you know the love is there, but it just comes out all wrong.
The latest passive-aggressive statement from Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Krazy) to his colleague and estranged friend Sen. Mitch McConnell involves the former accusing the latter of being a “control freak,” and then [...]

Bunning See N’ Say

May 5, 2009 – 2:01 pm

Now that it’s getting warmer outside, Sen. Jim Bunning’s Crazy Glands are working overtime. And when Bunning’s veins are coursing with the Crazy, why, the incumbent sumbitch could say just any ol’ crazy thing that pops into his head (which we now know is occupied by a Gremlin pulling on the tiniest of levers).

And the [...]

Bunning Opens Mouth

April 28, 2009 – 8:39 pm

Ever the gentleman, Crazy Man Bunning has used Arlen Specter’s party-change as an opportunity to get passive-aggressive with his ex-BFF, Mitch McConnell:

Bunning’s statement was a poke at his Kentucky colleague, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. He said the “Senate Republican leadership’s coddling of Sen. Specter shows just how far the Republican party has lost its [...]

Conway Solves Science Mystery

April 23, 2009 – 9:22 pm

How did we miss this?

It’s unclear whether Conway’s primary challenger, Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, also understands this fundamental natural occurrence. As for incumbent Senator Jim Bunning? He is THE THUNDER, BROTHER!!!!!

Conway’s In!

April 9, 2009 – 12:58 pm

You knew it was coming. You wanted it to be true. And now, ye fickle Kentucky Democrats, the heavens have granted you a chiseled totally hot savior primary candidate you don’t entirely hate. Rejoice!
While it’s not exactly “news“, Conway’s announcement makes official something we’ve kind of known all along, and can mean only one thing: [...]
