Dear Emily & Jeevan, I appreciate the offer and accept your challenge. I will be there on June 2nd and, despite your offer, I will not need your help.

Girls Just Wanna Have Guns, Puns, and Nuns
Ready for a presidential race? The women of 2016 are firing broadsides now. While Hillary Clinton was speaking to Methodists in Louisville, Sarah Palin spoke to NRA convention delegates in Indianapolis on April 26, 2014 and she was armed with one-liners. The newsmaker was her declaration that if she were president "waterboarding is how we would baptize terrorists." Palin's critics pounced before she completed her remarks. Hillary Clinton's tame remarks in Louisville drew notice only because she had been virtually silent on personal religion identification since her presidential run in 2008.

Colbert is Hannity’s master
The Colbert ReportGet More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,The Colbert Report on Facebook,Video Archive After a rebel rancher refusing to pay grazing rights was revealed to be a racist, Comedy Central's faux conservative Stephen Colbert completely eviscerates truly conservative cable news host Sean Hannity for coddling the rancher. Hannity later called the rancher's words "despicable" and Fox News hardly recognizes the grazing rights story it was pounding for days. The rancher's daughter went on Facebook and rephrased her father's rant on "the Negro" to "the Blacks." Of course, Cliven Bundy had to rephrase things, too. It only got worse on CNN.

It’s always basketball season in Kentucky
Securing the 2013 NCAA Championship for Louisville occurred late in the first half when Luke Hancock popped four 3-pointers and Montrezl Harrell slammed a monster dunk to take the lead and the momentum. On April 14, 2014, both Harrell and Kentucky's Willie Cauley-Stein announced that they would return to their respective schools to play another college basketball season. Rejoicing could be heard across the Commonwealth of Kentucky, where UK's marvelous 2014 campaign ended with a disappointing loss to UConn. With the returns of Harrell and Cauley-Stein, hope springs eternal. For the most ardent fans, lessons are learned.
