As you know, our governor, Ernie Fletcher, is so scared for his governorship that he has decided that no state employee is allowed to read a Democratic blog on the job.

This is Day #2 of the KY Blog Ban and us bloggers are united!

Rush Limbaugh
Hugh Hewitt
Hot Air
Captains Quarters
Outside the Beltway
