Twitter is filled with acerbic, profane screaming that solves nothing. The political divide widens with every vulgar post. Occasionally, a civil exchange occurs and no one walks away wounded, just a bit wiser. Key point in this statement is when “you” were young. Not all of us lose our passion and idealism for a better life just because we now benefit from a political economy tilted toward the wealthy and privileged.— Flash (@flash_1959) March 16, 2019 Well done, Flash & Thomas Sowell. For plenty of respectful enlightenment from both sides, read the entire thread following Mr. Sowell's tweet. "One of the bittersweet things about growing old is realizing how mistaken you were when you were young. As a young political leftist, I saw

“News”
WAVE3 would like for you to have a kitty. My teammates at WHAS11 are rating snacks. Over on WLKY, it's breaking news about dog faces on St. Patrick's Day shirts. And WDRB is squabbling with service providers to get reinstated. All local stations go through these rate negotiations from time to time. WDRB's typically news heavy website does occasionally throw in some fluff.
This is why Duke vs UNC is the greatest rivalry in college basketball
Please stop arguing about Louisville vs Kentucky or Kentucky vs Duke. When the Blue Devils play the Tarheels, it's guaranteed gold. Just for giggles, here's the epic Tennessee victory over Kentucky in the SEC Tourney semifinal.

Financial experts: here’s how to save $300+ million on KFC Yum Center payments. Oh, and where is that other $29 million?
In a radio chat this week, I asked Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer about an expert's plan that could save $300 million paying off the KFC Yum Center ($10m per year). The mayor seemed underwhelmed. The Metro Council is considering tripling the local tax on insurance premiums. Taxpayers are incensed that the mayor and council aren't first considering budget cuts. Mayor Fischer and I also discussed the odd logic of paying criminals to curtail crime without LMPD guidance, JCPS sickouts, the Passport Health meltdown, and more. 🎙️ AUDIO Below are the financial plan details submitted by businessman Denis Frankenberger and affirmed by former attorney general Chris Gorman and other financial experts who wish to remain anonymous.

Represent.us — Welcome to the Jennifer Lawrence civics class and the things she left out
For over two years, America's news anchors have been breathlessly declaring that Donald Trump's presidency "is near the end" with daily BOMBSHELL reports of "the walls closing in" toward impeachment. Louisville actor Jennifer Lawrence and her politically active friends claim they're offering a nonpartisan solution to America's hysteria-driven news cycle. Jennifer Lawrence and Represent.us have a strategy to change our political system. Will it fly? What Jennifer is not acknowledging is that too many megaphones with differing opinions all monetize misery. MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, et al. make a living by siding with liberals on virtually every issue, always demonizing the conservatives. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart, et al. do the same thing in reverse. THere's money in them
