Is Cheryl Hines the First Wife of Comedy?

The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis, has a new album due out in the year. It features a lot of guest musicians who are stars in their own right.

Redemption, a star-studded effort featuring the likes of Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Jimmy Page, was originally set for a February 2005 release via DreamWorks Nashville, which has since closed down.

Be sure to catch The Late Show with David Letterman as Jerry Lee Lewis will be singing "Great Balls of Fire."

The BatCats beat the Murray State Racers in a double header.

On Wednesday, Willy Mo Pena went yard but the Red Sox lost 7-1. Tim Wakefield moved his record to 1-4 on the season. The Sox are a bit slow on their game notes but Cleveland managed to cause a quick exit for Josh Beckett who moves to 3-1, following a 15-3 victory for the Tribe. Ben Broussard, one of my favorite former Louisville Bats, went yard twice, including a grand slam. Victor Martinez also went yard for the Tribe. Broussard started the evening with a .370 batting average. He's now at .407. Broussard had a career high of eight RBIs. Louisville native Paul Byrd picked up the win and he is now at 3-2 on the season.

There will be a rally this weekend in DC for the Save Darfur campaign. Here's an excerpt from a Barack Obama email.

I am writing to draw your attention to the deteriorating crisis in Darfur, Sudan, and to urge you to press the Bush Administration, Congress, and key international actors to step up their efforts to stop the killing. Since the fighting began in 2003, the Khartoum government and its proxy militia have killed more than 400,000 Darfurians, and displaced another two million. Every day that the conflict continues, more women are raped, more families are massacred, more children are orphaned. President Bush has said that the slaughter constitutes "genocide," and he is right.

I will fly to Washington, DC this Sunday, April 30, to participate in the "Save Darfur Rally" on the National Mall. I will join Elie Wiesel, George Clooney, Congressman Frank Wolf, and others from 2pm to 4:30 pm, between 3rd and 4th Streets in front of the U.S. Capitol.

Will Jim Newberry be the next Mayor of Lexington?

Fletcher says he restrained himself with budget cuts.

This is all until I finish my paper on Friday!
