Fellow Kentuckian, you of all people should know how big coal came in, raped the land, exploited the people and dropped them as soon as the coal ran dry. They built the towns, owned the local stores, and then disappeared, leaving a population who had not relied or encouraged others to rely on education to maintain their livings. I know many people my age who's parents said they should just get a job for the coal companies rather than going off to college, since it sustained them well (minus the injuries, black lung, etc.) Now with many coal companies leaving, I don't see much "private sector" coming in to save the day, unless you count service jobs at the local Mc Donalds..

Good for the docs!

$1,200 in a bar! ouch, that had to sting a bit. Interesting insight.

Yea, I was just hoping it would have been done before November...

They have shredded our reputation, morality & ethics, and nearly every law known to man between the killings, attacking our troops, and weapons smuggling scandals. So why not a document or two to boot..

If they find problems though, will other states follow the leader. Kentucky wanted to examine them for a time, but then got really really quiet on the matter...

Yea, Privatization saves millions doesn't it...

I love storms like that, weird I know. And I have been in one tornado once, It is scary, but still, I got the storm chaser mentality to me. Hope work is ok the next couple days..

I think that "War Hero" who was tortured, who will not take an official stand that we as a nation should not torture, and who has broken all his campaign finance laws that he cosponsored, and who cannot tell the difference between sunni and shiite, kinda trumps the bitchy lawyer scenario...

But thats just me.

P.S. Was you as upset when the republicans disrespected the war hero efforts of Max Cleland. Or is it that it is only an attribute when it is a republican who served (grant it, that is rare...if you throw out the country club brigades like George's until they asked him to pee in the cup)

And you had no Idea where he was calling from I bet..

well, might as well smoke..

I am sorry you have been down lately.The birds are cute, and a subtle reminder of renewal on our planet. Hopefully you are feeling renewed and getting closer to leaving the nest too.
