Courier-Journal Shamelessly Promotes LEO

November 17, 2009 – 5:29 pm

In what can only be the work of a dastardly, malfunctioning algorithm lurking about The Courier-Journal’s search indexing software, their website now includes results that direct you to their heathen rivals —  us! We are now so validated in our existence that we must dance:

‘Prince of Darkness’ Finally Goes Home

August 18, 2009 – 1:34 pm

While it’s always pretty weak (and easy) sport to assail the dead, we will say only this: for a man who threatened national security for personal/political gain, helped degenerate cable news discourse into its current sorry state and who inadvertently used his automobile as a weapon against an old man, well … is it possible [...]

Jazzercise, Sexual Angst & Postal Rage

August 7, 2009 – 2:36 pm

I don’t normally take interest in exploitative, Nancy Grace-ish death operas, but The Exiled’s Chief Marxist, Mark Ames, offers an excellent analysis of Tuesday’s jazzercize spree-killing/suicide in Pittsburgh.
[Shooter George] Sodini’s pain isn’t limited to his unfluffed genitalia. He understood that his sexual failure and anomie were part of a larger injustice and rigidity built into [...]

Conway’s Pottymouth of Doom & Terror! (Part 2)

August 3, 2009 – 10:01 pm

It looks like someone has already decided to craft a campaign ad splicing Jack Conway’s oh-so-shocking display of amoral, unborn-baby killing profanity with … scared children!
A caveat: The only problems with this ad are (1) it suggests that a man who’s just started a family of his own is, somehow, terrifying to stock footage of [...]

Conway’s Pottymouth of Doom & Terror!

August 3, 2009 – 1:17 pm

Hrmm. Joe Gerth has a fascinating column out in today’s C-J that is notable for a few reasons, but mainly it’s about how state AG Jack Conway used more curse words than any other speaker at Saturday’s Fancy Farm Picnic and how he is now therefore liable to get painted as a “Hitler” by his [...]

This Bud’s For You, Stupid

July 30, 2009 – 3:01 pm

Screw health care reform: How will Nobama keep the Black Panther and the Klansman from killing each other? Will they use beer cozies? Post-consumer, biodegradable cups? What about frosted mugs? Inquiring minds want to know!

McConnell Understimulated

July 27, 2009 – 12:28 pm

Muppet-faced creature of Washington Sen. Mitch “Beaker” McConnell is having fun on the tee vee! Fortunately for him, CNN’s John King is too brain damaged to point out that, over these past six months, the Kentucky senator’s own party has provided no alternatives whatsoever to any of these problems save vapid, obstructionist criticism, the “birther” [...]

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 [...]

When Two Passive-Aggressive Journalists Meet…

June 18, 2009 – 3:02 pm

… does anybody win?
While I applaud the efforts of this guy trying to give a FOX NEWS reporter a dose of his own medicine, there has to be a better way of doing this… like, say, throwing a lemon meringue pie filled with horse semen at the douchebag’s face.

Nightmare on Bardstown Road

May 7, 2009 – 7:59 pm

Speaking of the economy, did you know that it’s the reason you’ve been having those terrible nightmares lately? You know: the ones in which your nuclear family is starving to death in front of your eyes because swine flu destroyed all of the world’s crops? And Johnny Depp is killed by his mattress? No?
Well, WHAS [...]
