Take a moment this holiday season to check out this GREAT video by the Ditch Mitch Singers.  There's no better way to get in the holiday mood than to think about taking down Mitch...and thankfully we have just the guy to do it in Lt. Col. Andrew Horne.

UPDATE AND APOLOGIES TO THE HILLBILLY REPORT! - This video was produced by Jim Pence of theHillbilly Report, a wonderful blog and a great resource here in Kentucky.

Senator Barack Obama made a swing through the Bluegrass yesterday, Sunday August 26, at Heritage Hall at the Lexington Convention Center.  This was his second trip to Kentucky to raise funds for the presidential, the first was in Louisville in February.  Both of his visits have included a $25 event in addition to the traditional high dollar dinner/reception.
Obama is the #1 presidential fund-raiser in Kentucky through June 30, an amazing feat given a state that went for Bush the last two elections.  Jump with me to hear about this incredible event, watch the speech on You Tube and hear some great news for all Dems in Kentucky.

This, my friends, is my first diary.  I have been a lurker for more than 2 years, but have decided on this cold, sunny morning to take the plunge.  Please be gentle.

I am modivated to write this morning because of an amazing editorial in our local newspaper, the Courier-Journal.  Along with dozens of Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country, our local affiliate offered free Emergency Contraception (EC) this past Wednesday, December 6.  

Planned Parenthood sponsored this event to raise awareness of the availability of EC at our clinics and to encourage women to have EC on hand in case the condom breaks, they miss two or more birth control pills or have unprotected sex.  Jump below the fold for some scary statistics, link to the editorial and info about what Planned Parenthood is doing to help women with their reproductive health.
