Oh, Kentucky


WKMS also has the full text of the House resolution, which passed despite the "no" vote of U.S. Rep. Comer of Tompkinsville.

"Obviously, I want you to read all of bell hooks books. I mean, I want to read all of her writing. She does it with passion and grace that leaves me in an awe that is difficult to describe. Recently, she has released a string of children’s books that I hope you’ll also read. I hope that this will give you a little teaser into what she is capable of.  Her writing is so important right now. She writes with a grace and love that is difficult to come by. Whew, are we really hurting for some real love right now." Brandie Derusha enrolls us in bell hooks, at Book Riot.

A nonprofit that runs homes for people with disabilities--with reported revenue growth of $70 million over the last three years--is pulling out of Kentucky because it says it is having funding problems with the state.

Oh, Kentucky

Kentucky, too, is for lovers. Seventy years of bliss (etc.) in Sonora ... Saying "I love you" with a KU credit ... Mountain passion in Frankfort ... James Carville and Mary Matalin in Murray ...

We're not in Cynthiana anymore.

Renewables watch!
