Greg Kocher in The Lexington Herald-Leader on the Jessamine County Sports Complex: After languishing for a couple of years, the effort to build a soccer and football complex and a Kentucky Pro Football Players Hall of Fame in Nicholasville has been reinvigorated. Local officials say they have a good chance of obtaining federal funding that […]

And no I’m not talking about ObamaCare this time, but Rand Paul.  I was of the mind that he represents a very good chance at getting a consistently pro-liberty senator in the federal government.  But with each piece of news I hear since his slaughter of republitard establishment favorite Grayson, I lean more towards the […]

I’ve always been the envy of my gun loving friends when they discover that Buds Gun Shop, the retail location for budsgunshop.com, is a local gun shop here in town.  Now Buds is even better. I’m not in the habit of pimping other people’s stuff, but Buds is a high quality establishment with a fantabulous […]

David Swerdlick via The Root: He took a decidedly anti-choice position on abortion and fudged on the (after the fact) banking bailout by focusing on the (before the fact) housing bubble. He didn’t distinguish himself from the Congress from which he’s ”taking government back.” By contrast, it would’ve only taken the senior Paul two minutes […]

Tad DeHaven via Cato-at-Liberty: I’d prefer to believe Paul’s victory last night was a repudiation of the GOP establishment as much as it was a repudiation of Washington in general. Popular discontent with the statist Democrat establishment in Washington is well recognized. But if Kentucky Republicans just signaled their displeasure with the statist Republican establishment, […]

Being a Kentuckian with an interest in liberty, I find myself in the envious position of perhaps having a senatorial candidate in my state commonwealth who can legitimately be perceived as a guy who isn’t a political douchebag.  Rand Paul (R-KY) has a strong pro-liberty pedigree in that his father, the venerable Ron Paul (R-TX), […]
