What's it gonna take?

Some are arguing that I'm just a victim of friendly fire. Well, if that's the case, I'll write a new "rap" song or a protest folk song. Who knows?!? "Lazy Fletcher." Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? It sure would be a good stunt to increase traffic and I could probably do that on my computer as opposed to back at the university in the fall--technically, it's a public university so it's state equipment...I wonder if the blogs are banned there, too? I hope they aren't because that would piss a TON of folks off.

The Bluegrass Policy Blog was once again blocked over the weekend. But why is Ann Coulter's website still blocked?!?

Wow, who would have ever thought that Jonathan Miller would be asking for a recount in an event being judged by UK voice Tom Leach as well as equipment manager Bill "Mr. Wildcat" Keightley!

Ah, the feds got involved with politics back then. Now they track our phone calls.

In the summer of 1956, playwright Arthur Miller married screen idol Marilyn Monroe in a Jewish ceremony, an event of high-level gossip for much of the world and of high-level curiosity for the U.S. government.

"An anonymous telephone call" has been placed to the New York Daily News, an FBI report notes at the time. The caller stated that the "religious" wedding — Miller was Jewish and Monroe had converted — was an obvious "cover-up" for Miller, who "had been and still was a member of the CP (Communist Party) and was their cultural front man." Monroe also "had drifted into the Communist Party orbit."

Marilyn Monroe was Jewish?!? Obviously, she converted. I never knew that. What's fascinating is, after checking the ever resourceful Wikipedia, is that all three of her husbands outlived her.

Two of the wealthiest candidates for Congress are, drumroll please, located here in Kentucky! Yep, Anne Northup and John Yarmuth are among the wealthiest candidates running for Congress. However, it should never be about wealth but about integrity and character!

Go get 'em, Joe!

This story from the WaPo will be on BGR eventually today.

Isn't blocking political Web sites something that is done in totalitarian regimes?

Turns out it also happens in Kentucky, where aides to Gov. Ernie Fletcher, who is under indictment, cut off state employees' access to numerous Internet sites one day after the New York Times quoted a local blogger as criticizing Fletcher. Mark Nickolas of the widely read Bluegrassreport.org, had accused Fletcher's administration of trying to "play by their own rules even if it's against the law."

"There is little doubt this was a deliberate banning of BGR," Nickolas wrote on his site, which was one of the first to be blocked. But a Fletcher aide told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the ban, which extends to entertainment, humor and other sites, had nothing to do with the Times story and was simply an effort to promote greater efficiency among state workers.

That's about it for now.

You've probably notice that I haven't had any script update postings lately. Well, I've been busy dealing with this censorship fight but I'll get back to writing the script will soon.

And watch out Fletch, you never know if I'll write "Lazy Fletcher."
