Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin stopped by my radio studio today to chat on a multitude of topics. He has teased me before about controlling the topics but declined my offer for him to self-direct his interview. We talked about WDRB News' drone surveillance of his home, the ongoing feud with former Governor Steve Beshear and his son Andy Beshear, the pension crisis, and the legislative plan for the next 12 months. Great chat. Click to listen: WDRB president and general manager Bill Lamb forcefully responded to Gov. Bevin's contentions that the TV station likely violated privacy and airspace limitations by flying a drone over the governor's home. WDRB 41 Louisville News Later in the evening in a text to

I enjoyed reminding Stumbo of his hypocrisy on my radio show. Part 2 Famous gay basher Kim Davis,
Only a temporary bridge above the mudslinging
High above the muddy banks of the Ohio River, politicians were slinging nothing but niceties toward their rivals on the eve of Kentucky's gubernatorial transition. Here's a shiny new bridge, so let's all take credit. Outgoing Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, a democrat whose signature accomplishment is the kynect health care exchange, was sharing a stage with his successor Matt Bevin, the republican whose top priority is to immediately dismantle kynect.
