Louisville #1 In Jergens Consumption

November 5, 2009 – 6:36 pm

Ahh, November sweeps: That salacious, pre-Christmas season when major networks unleash their most sensational “news” stories to grab the attention of ‘Merica’s lowest common denominators so bigger advertising dividends will be paid. In the case of WLKY, we’ve got internet porn searches.
Specifically, Louisville is the de facto capital of naughty internet searches, meaning that we spend more [...]

Galbraith Campaign Lights Up Facebook

October 23, 2009 – 1:58 pm

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 [...]

Lies My Twitter-Box Told Me

August 27, 2009 – 2:21 pm

As Americans, we’re the most blogginist, most tweetinist varmints to ever grace this dying planet; inheritors of the Industrial, Green and technological revolutions that have largely passed by the majority of the world’s poor, non-tweeting population, we’ve reaped the benefits of “progress” such that the sheer amount of information at our fingertips would make us [...]

Health Care Fun Facts!

August 11, 2009 – 8:55 pm

Well, the facts are not so such “fun” as they are “factual,” which would just wind up sounding silly and redundant, but then: That’s your health care system, dummy! Courtesy of American President Barack Obama’s legions of Mac-savvy hope-fiends comes Reality Check, a White House website designed to combat the lies, distortions and McConnellisms that [...]

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 [...]

Disturbing Scene From Appalachia

July 9, 2009 – 2:20 pm

As we approach that barbecue soaked, bile duct-loosening event known, colloquially, as the Fancy Farm Picnic & Oratory Thunderdome, one issue that will certainly be out in full force is mountaintop removal (MTR) mining.
To postulate an obvious political equation: The current landscape in Democratic Primaryland dictates that supporters of the practice will likely be Daniel [...]

After Hiatus, Broken Sidewalk Returns

July 1, 2009 – 3:54 pm

Our favorite Louisville real estate development news blog, BrokenSidewalk.com, hath returned. The site was put in the cooler for a few weeks while webmaster/founder Brandon Klayko undertook a relocation to New York City — yet it’s up and running again, along with a fresh redesign and a plethora of new contributors.
Although there’s still plenty of [...]

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 [...]

Papa John’s Offers Virtual Fun, Pizza Too

May 26, 2009 – 3:44 pm

Oftentimes I find myself posed with this dilemma: How can I find new and interesting ways to waste my life via that anarchic conduit we call ‘the innernette’ without wanting to share a bubble bath with my still-plugged-in desktop?
The answer? Papa John’s Road Trip; it’s got everything you could possibly want from an absurdly tech-savvy [...]

Another One Tweets The Dust

May 15, 2009 – 1:36 pm

Yes friends: Another young, hip democrat is utilizing The Twitter in Kentucky who isn‘t Jack Conway. Can you guess who it is? (Hint: Mongiardo isn’t young; external forces just make him appear that way. Also, the picture after the jump kind of gives it away) …
