Bit of the Bluegrass

I will now be writing at Bit of the Bluegrass. Bit of the Bluegrass is a new lifestyle site that shares the joys of living in Kentucky. We have a little bit of everything and we are geared towards a slightly younger, hipper crowd than most publications dealing with life in the Bluegrass State.
I will definitely still be writing here because, as my brother recently pointed out to me, I have a lot of anger towards -well -people. This is true, I won't deny it. But I would like to qualify the "people". I cannot stand stupid/ignorant/bigoted/small-minded/loud-mouthed/moronic people. I realize that this covers a rather wide demographic, but really if people would just listen to me in the first place then we wouldn't have such problems, now would we.
That is where Bit of the Bluegrass comes in. It is my chance to be pro-active, so to speak. I find that I do a lot of bitching about my neighbors. Now I can focus on more of the positive aspects of living in KY.  And turns out, there are quite a few. I intend to chronicle every one of them.

Way to Go, Captain Obvious!

A recent NBC/WSJ news poll stated that Americans are dissatisfied with Congress. Reeeeeaaaalllly?!? I, for one am shocked and awed! To think that our congress could not do their jobs to a level satisfactory. . .sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face on that one.
Of course Americans are fed up with Congress! I also get upset with my kids when they fight with each other just for the sake of arguing. But here's the thing - they are KIDS! And contrary to all available evidence, members of Congress are not, in fact, children. Though who could tell. What with them arguing over everything up to and including the color of the sky.
In other breaking news 75% of Americans now agree that water is wet. 5% said that it was, of course, not wet. The remaining 20% said that they were waiting on Sarah Palin to tell them what to think about it.
