Oh, Kentucky

If tonight's vice-presidential debate in Danville gets as combative as yesterday's city-commissioner's candidates forum in Henderson, Chuck Todd will end up having had a happy trip to Kentucky, after all.

If tonight in Danville is as entertaining as tonight 1975 in Hazard was, Ben Sollee will be getting plenty more opportunities to get out of Kentucky.

It's a big day, too, not in Bowling Green.

This looks like a pretty kind rejection letter, to the eventual men's basketball and golf coach at Transylvania University. The worst I ever received was from an editor at the Milwaukee Sentinel; she would've succeeded in her apparent attempt to thoroughly discourage me, but misspelling "Kentucky" undermined the credibility of her rebuke.

Trying to decide what written statement I want to submit.

There's a West Kentucky State Fair? Fifty-nine of them and counting, in fact?

There's a Florence Freedom?
