Pegasus Parade Tomorrow

For those of you outside the Louisville area, please forgive us our insanity... it's Kentucky Derby Festival time here! The two weeks leading up to the running of the Kentucky Derby are full of festivities. Few of us jaded Louisvillians really get out to enjoy it all. Actually, we've had a cold snap in this area so some of us are using that as an excuse. However, the truly hardy among us are braving the wind and cold to go to these events. ;-)

Tomorrow is my day to run out of excuses... The Pegasus Parade will be rolling down Broadway starting at 5pm. Yours truly will be walking with The Fillies behind our float. If you happen to watch the parade tomorrow, hopefully from somewhere along the route on Broadway, I hope you'll give a shout out to your friend ConservaChick. I'll be the Filly in the cuffed blue jean capri pants with a pink polka-dotted scarf and pink sunglasses.

If I get some good pictures of the parade tomorrow, I'll post them on the blog.

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
