Hello to Bill Adkins—Jim A. Stivers

Thayer is playing politco again. Trying to work both sides of the street without making a committment.No dirt on the skirt!

The gambling people throw out numbers that look inviting— with no regard for the cost to structure the gambling issue, cost for treatment and any tax or infrastructure cost.

Beyond a vote . . . the only one ready is Churchill Downs where they have a special room just for hundreds of slot machines, uhhh, video lottery terminals.

With the swinging door moving so often one would wonder is this governor uncomprimising . . .

Why has he had so many press secretaries?

MISGUIDED?

ALOOF?

Sorry, Jimbo – came from another set of blogs in a fighting mood and didn’t take time to read your post correctly. You were right, I didn’t get it. I do now.

I get sarcasm, jimbo, but even sarcasm has to be coherent. Maybe ‘oblique’ isn’t the word you’re looking for – try ‘obtuse.’

Bill, What you don’t get is sarcasm. Sorry if it was too oblique.

Wow, Jimbo – you say I ‘just don’t get it’ then go into a rant devoid of any coherence at all. Thanks for playing.

Adkins, you just don’t get it. If God were talking to you directly, and you were totally convinced of your own rectitude and righteousness, wouldn’t you have the moral imperative to reach out to sinners and save them from themselves? And if the good lord had favored you with power and position then you could preach absinence with reckless abandon, knowing that it didn’t apply to you anyway. It’s all so simple.

Always so amusing yet hypocritical of the right who claim to be for freedom of the individual but they’re always so quick to restrict freedom of choice.

Damon Thayer’s failure upon failure record continues to grow. I would hate to have a house fire in the vicinity of a firestation at which Thayer is the chief.

No change here. I will NEVER vote for any politician who supports slots at the tracks. Goodbye Beshear, goodbye Stumbo and goodbye Keene. I will vote only for free standing destination type casinos in Ky. They should include the casino, hotels and restaurants. Unlike Ohio, they should not all be developed by a single entity. Neither should they be limited to counties with race tracks.
