Oh, Kentucky

"Can we see the tennis shoes slung across the power lines in our community and understand that signifies the locations where drugs can be purchased?" I, for one, had no idea.

Joey Fosko, a star performer on Lone Oak's 1985-86 academic team and current Paducah Sun sports boss, blogs that the opening of McCracken County High School might be delayed by a year.

Mike Marsee in The Advocate Messenger reported Danville coach Sam Harp's reaction to the KHSAA's football realignment plan: "I might buy stock in a charter company."

We really can't afford to be letting any of these guys out of the state.

Owen County Schools welcomed its new superintendent with "a take-off of UK’s Big Blue Madness," Owen County Primary School principal Sharen Hubbard told Molly Haines
with The News-Herald of Owenton
. "Mr. Raleigh will be referred to as Owen County School’s head coach who will take us to the 'big dance.' ..."

Oh, perfect ... I just went out and got the morning paper, and The Messenger is reporting that bed bugs were discovered at two places locally.

  2. So Heath is now as big as Tilghman, and Lone Oak is as big as Owensboro, and people in McCracken County think it makes sense to combine those schools?

    I will say, once again, that the strength of populism in places like western Kentucky is a direct result of the fact that the elites who run western Kentucky are so incompetent.

  3. Why do you think McCracken County re-elected the folks who support consolidation?

  4. Probably for the same reason they re-elected Carroll Hubbard over and over; because it was impossible to find qualified candidates who had a realistic chance of winning who would do what the people want.
