Quickies: Williams sues; 'Mudman' rocks

1. I didn't think Senate President David Williams would ever be a party to another suit in Franklin Circuit Court again. He's not had much success there in the past, losing on the Dana Seum Stephenson residency issue and the state appropriation for a pharmacy school at the private University of the Cumberlands. But he's back, suing Gov. Steve Beshear over Beshear's veto of House Bill 79, the highway projects measure. Now, we'll see whether the third time is charmed for him or if it's simply strike three. However it turns out, won the war of the words Friday with this response to Williams' suit: "It is telling that the legislature is not challenging my actions and that only Senator Williams feels compelled to do so. The commonwealth would be better served if Senator Williams worked with us to enact pension reform and adequate funding for education instead of constantly creating unnecessary controversy." Where was that kind of feistiness during the General Assembly session?

2. Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Greg Fischer's "Mudman" ad is hilarious. Where has this creativity been hiding in his campaign? See it here.
