If I have been absnt from here it is simply because out of all the insanity of this election, nothing compares to the election of Rand Paul. It took a few days to get past being apoplectic.   

Russ is right here and it does appear the folks are pissed over many other things. When the day-to-day economy of living is in the tank, we are all willing to give up on bigger goals to keep the daily bread on the table. Many people step back and think it through and go for the long term.   However, it is also then that many of the same ones who need help the most and are at the bottom of the food chain are willing to elect someone who is at the top of the chain and has no idea how these folks below them live. I suppose some hope that electing a "have" will elevate them from "have not" status but it never works.

Even knowing all of that it is hard to see how a Rand Paul could be elected.......or why. Like it or not, coal is still a major part of Kentucky's economy. How can a candidate for U.S. Senate know nothing about Harlan? His first association with Hazard is a fucking TV SHOW!!!

Jesus.....somebody just shoot me..............
