Steve Beshear is taking bribes from Ken Ham. Not just campaign contributions, but actual bribes.
That's the only explanation I can come up with. Or at least the only one that doesn't require me to come to the conclusion that the governor of my state (Kentucky) is a complete lamebrain, who is sucking up to the republican radical religious right-wingers nearly a year before the 2011 election.
Ken Ham is the moron - and I use the term advisedly - who owns and operates the Creation Museum up in Northern Kentucky. The museum that says that dinosaurs co-existed with humans several thousand years ago. The one that tells this tripe to children, who are intellectually malleable enough to actually believe it.
Yellow Dog at Blue in the Bluegrass calls this intellectual child abuse. I concur. It is very likely that children who are indoctrinated with this mind rot now will hold these beliefs well into their adult years - all efforts to rethread these kids' heads in the intervening years notwithstanding. There is even the possibility that the kids will grow into adults who NEVER recant this shit. After all, there are an awful lot of adults who were taught the pabulum of fundamentalist religion as children, sometimes as infants, and still hold those beliefs today, the evidence of daily living on this planet notwithstanding.
But our governor - our GOVERNOR, the chief executive of our state - accepts this crap. Not only accepts it, but embraces it. And we have to lower our eyes as we walk the streets anywhere away from home, lest anyone recognize us as Kentuckians.
You know, I was a member of one of the political organizations who endorsed Beshear in '07. Sure wish I could take that vote back. But even as I say that, I realize that there wasn't much else to choose from at the time. Gatewood Galbraith? Steve Henry? Etc.?
When do we get some GOOD candidates for governor? You know, ones with a bit of intellectual acuity about them?
What's that you say? NEVER???? Never as long as we're Kentuckians?
I was afraid you were going to say that.

This is like a child making nasty remarks to a neighborhood kid, from behind a tree somewhere.
If you think I'm wrong, if you think I'm an idiot, then offer up some proof, some reason other than just your say-so. I mean, this is a childish little slap at me. If you really want to hurt me, tell me what you mean by this. With SPECIFICS!!!
Otherwise, shut the fuck up. No one who read your little mini-screed got anything out of it but your silly bitchiness.
Asshole!
OMG! I just figured out what you're trying to say! You think if I do some research, I'll find out that Ken Ham, and probably YOU, are right.
And where will I do this research? Only in your fantasy world does any of this read as true.
Die and go to heaven. Please. Leave the rest of us alone.
