It looks like for now Jim Bunning, Kentucky’s junior Senator, is making a go of it for another term. A lot of people had questioned if he was really going to run (me, for one) and it looks like it is official. This certainly begs some questions such as why he was almost inviting others [...]
With the current senatorial race for Kentucky heating up, another candidate has thrown her hat in the ring, Cathy Bailey of Florida. For a second, just ignore the fact that she and her husband live in Florida, she lived here once and apparently has enough political clout to pull off a Clintonesque move to show [...]
America is in a difficult position. We have allowed the media to frame the debate on what is important. When it comes to how the Democrats are performing we focus on the President’s humor, his wife’s beautiful arms, the wonderful smile, his kind eyes. When we talk about Conservatives we talk of the defection (I [...]
The beleaguered Senator Jim Bunning told guest at this evening’s Lincoln Dinner that he is in the race and will fight for values. While not supported publicly by his peers and showing an inability to do any serious fund raising, this will make it easy for his opponents on the Democratic side, and really caused [...]
Today the AP ran a story on Kentucky’s next ex-Senator, Jim Bunning. This was the saddest demonstration of a failed leader I have seen in Kentucky since Paul Patton got on TV and cried because he couldn’t get some family to sell their farm so that the state could bring in Honda for a new [...]

CNN is reporting tonight that Rand Paul is “very serious” about running for the seat potentially available once Sen. Jim Bunning FINALLY announces his retirement. But here is the problem with that yet to be announced retirement; Grayson and Paul are waiting in the wings while things could be happening! Meanwhile people without any loyalty [...]
Every now and then I hear something that just makes so much sense that I scratch my head and think “Why didn’t I think of that?” Well, in the case of Swine Flu (what the White House prefers to call H1N1) I don’t have the medical background to make sense of it all, but I [...]
The left has learned a great tactic which it employs at every turn: Change the definition. When they but up against something that they don’t like they just call it by another name. We no longer have acts of terrorism, we have man made disasters. Terrorists are non-uniformed combatants. The abortion debate has taken the [...]
It has been a busy past couple of days for Kentucky politics and it looks like it has only just begun. There has been wide speculation regarding Senator Jim Bunning’s (R-KY) attempts at reelection. It has appeared that he would retire, then he said that he would not. But on Thursday he basically gave up [...]
