Commandments, Pence and good advice

1. I believe it's safe to conclude that the copy of the Ten Commandments now on display with other historical documents in the state Capitol's Rotunda was not put there with religion in mind. It was purely an act of political desperation on the part of an incumbent governor who trails badly in the polls one day before the election. Of course, if Gov. Ernie Fletcher had spent more time following the Ten Commandments during his four-year term, his prospects for re-election might not look so bleak now.

2. Ran into Lt. Gov. Steve Pence outside the Capitol this afternoon. He told me he and his wife, Ruth Ann Cox, will be joining the Louisville offices of the Dinsmore & Shohl law firm. She will start Dec. 1, and he will join her there Dec. 11. That's the date of the gubernatorial inauguration.

3. Thanks to the reader who sent me an e-mail saying his Wellness Center calendar says this for tomorrow:

"People who stay home (don't vote) on election day because they don't want to have anything to do with crooked politics have a lot more to do with crooked politics than they think."

There's considerable wisdom in that thought.

Comments

Hopefully Mr. Preston will convince the Gov-Elect to monitor the Justice/Public Safety Cab and not leave the fox in charge of the hen house. Appointing Pence to go in and "eval" the people he appointed, especially at the Dept of Juv. Justice, could be a disaster not only for the Dept but for the state's kids as well. There has to be change in that dept or there WILL be another federal consent decree...and a whole lot of "whistle blower" protection needed. Poor decision Steve!
