Sen. Hirono: “Guess who's perpetuating all of these kinds of actions? It's the men in this country. I just want to say to the men in this country, just shut up! And step up. Do the right thing for a change.” pic.twitter.com/IvLGAQfH7W— MSNBC (@MSNBC) September 18, 2018 This Brett Kavanaugh vs. "college professor WE MUST BELIEVE" tussle is the latest American flamethrower. Should our high school horndog moments haunt us 35 years later? YES! If they involve sexual abuse, lack of consent, or radiating pain for a victim. NO! If it's a thinly-veiled political stunt to ruin someone's life. Liberals demand that WE BELIEVE WOMEN unless they are conservative women accusing, say, Bill Clinton.

OH NO, WE SUCK AGAIN! – flighty Cardinal fans must have forgotten the bad old days
Thumped by Alabama. Having to squeak past hapless Indiana State during a monsoon. The Louisville Cardinals football team hasn't been sparkling this season. Some fans think we're worse than Adam Sandler's team in The Waterboy. Oh no...WE SUCK AGAIN! Fans are cranky. The coaching staff seems befuddled. People are not getting in their seats until late in the first quarter. We are flighty fans. During big games, we're loud and supportive...unless the other team is leading. Then fans run to the concourses and socialize instead of yelling support to the Cards. Others say we are turning into the people we used to mock - caustic, obsessed, deranged drunks. 50% of our fan base is turning into the ones we despise down the road. Heard wku
I’m not from around here but I’ll give myself permission to exploit your natural disaster
For days in advance, the National Weather Service (NWS) warned the east coast that Hurricane Florence could wreak havoc along the shores of both North and South Carolina. Officials begged residents to flee or at least take up residence at hundreds of local shelters. Some ignored the urgent warnings. "I got generators...I won't be calling anybody to help me out anyhow, I can take care of it myself." - Despite warnings from weather experts and the government, Jim Darling - and his pet parrot, Maximus - plan to ride out Hurricane Florence in So. Carolina https://t.co/t8RNo10nG4 pic.twitter.com/2rOLQWBoV1 — CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) September 11, 2018 About a dozen people ultimately died from flooding, flying debris, or issues connected to electrocution from downed power lines.

When we were kings
The University of Louisville has a quarterback controversy. Should we go with Puma or Malik? They're both great athletes but that's not the real controversy. The real issue is how do we grab more national love like we enjoyed during the Lamar Jackson days? When Lamar was churning out yardage for the Cards, we were kings. Every highlights show went three layers deep with love for Louisville. We've got to find another lightning bolt talent like Lamar to bring the joy back or interest will keep slipping. Even the Kentucky basketball coach couldn't stay away from Lamarvelous. But don't expect any recruiter, assistant, or head coach to shoot straight with us. They talk mumbo jumbo all across
WHAT THE HOWELL – Louisville man touts city while hating its epicenter St. Matthews
Howell Dawdy, the most revered singer in the world, finally got around to celebrating his hometown. His new song LOUISVILLE will be #1 when next week's streaming charts are released. Reviews are in: Cardi B: "That's dope!" Jay Z said of Dawdy: "Who?" Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly have ended their beef and are now joined together in dissing Howell, calling him a "fake ass Kanye wannabe." Nonetheless, Howell Dawdy trudges forward. Mayor Fishback named Dawdy "Citizen of the Century" and Humana removed its Ali building banner and replaced it with a classic photo of Dawdy sitting on the toilet. Commuters are stopping on the interstate to take photos. The traffic backups rival those of populations escaping hurricane mayhem. God bless you for promoting The Ville,

1st world problem: my free seats aren’t good enough
A few days before the University of Louisville football team opened its 2018 season with a nationally televised battle against #1 Alabama, an unnecessary upheaval derailed the focus from football. The son of former athletics director Tom Jurich attacked the new athletics director over a future seating matter that should have been handled by whomever negotiated the the elder Jurich's severance package. Mark Jurich sent a scathing email debasing his former close friend Vince Tyra, the new athletics director who replaced Mark's dad Tom Jurich. The email, printed below, is filled with vicious personal attacks all wrapped around the notion of "disrespect" shown to Tyra's predecessor. Tom Jurich and his loyal son Mark both believe that Tyra "schemed for over a
