Why I never send to 10 people
I feel guilty every time I don't forward a "if you are my friend, you will send this on" message. I don't because I consider them chain letters in cyberspace. Now I have a tech reason not to forward. Yay! Thanks to Mike B. for the information.
Advice from Snopes.com MEMORIZE THIS!
1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on to '10' of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mails to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers.
More good advice....

Berry in NYT: Farming Practices Must Change
Kentucky farmer and author Wendell Berry and Wes Jackson, a Kansas geneticist, co-authored an Op-Ed in the Sunday New York Times raising soil erosion and ag chemicals as issues directly affecting what goes on the dinner tables of the world.
Images of the dust bowls of the 1930’s come to mind. As if the financial situation wasn’t enough.
"…To the problem of soil loss, the industrialization of agriculture has added pollution by toxic chemicals, now universally present in our farmlands and streams. Some of this toxicity is associated with the widely acclaimed method of minimum tillage. We should not poison our soils to save them..."

Editorial: Richards is clearly best choice for Speaker
Richards is clearly the better choice for Speaker. We may be prejudiced in our choice of a West Kentuckian. But we don’t think so. We have gigabytes of pictures of Richards working for candidates- several who were unsuccessful challengers.
Alas, we cannot find a single photo of Greg Stumbo working for any candidate other than himself. See the full story ...

Edelen, Coldiron Partners with Top Lobbyist
1/6/09 UPDATE: Bluegrass Politics reports that Bob Babbage has ended the partnership with the Governor’s chief of staff. Babbage failed to disclose his connection in his July disclosure report required under ethics laws. According to John Cheves’ story, all’s well that ends well if no one files an ethics complaint.
The Lexington Herald’s John Chever reported today that Chief of Staff Edelen, Homeland Security boss Ralph Coldiron and top lobbyist Bob Babbage are partners in Chartwell Land Company, a real estate development firm.
Edelen and Babbage say no problem. Richard Beliles of Common Cause of Kentucky disagrees. Here’s the story. Draw your own conclusion. We've drawn ours. Lexington Herald Story See the full story ...

Those Were the Days
Ross Perot was in Kentucky in the early 90s during his third party campaign for president. Chuck Wolfe, now a gov't spokesman, and a host of national and international reporters covered the event.
The press pack included one 15 year old Frankfort High sophomore by the name of Potter. She was her dad's sound man for the press conference in the Rotunda. (She's the one at Chuck Wolfe's knee holding up the tiny recorder.

 US soldiers engaging in battle |
|
| Remember the War? It was in all the newspapers! America is at war, a forever war. The nation has stepped over a new line in the sand. We are now past 5 years of war and counting. This is longer than World War II.
President Bush has called for a renewed sense of our struggle in the Middle East. In his words we must continue the course of war until the mission has been accomplished. Yet, each time he speaks to the nation about staying the course, critics point out the cost in terms of human sacrifice and draining our way of life at home.
Now, 4,032 Americans have paid the highest price with their lives for our invasion and occupation of Iraq.
