Kentucky: Lexington

Rule #1 in embezzlement: Do it to evil corporations like Initech, not Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

Rule #2 in embezzlement: Decimal points in the wrong place can really fuck things up.
An office manager embezzled $435,837 from Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bluegrass during the past year, the organization alleged in a lawsuit filed Monday.

Big Brothers Big Sisters says Bendrea Wilson of Lexington, hired in May 2008, forged two board members' signatures on at least 140 checks.

******

The amount taken represents about a third of the organization's annual budget of $1.3 million, and it has placed the agency in a bad situation, Suttles said.God, even Kentucky's criminals can't do anything right? This is just embarrassing...

Dan Mongiardo's campaign royally fucked up today (see here, here and here), and the Conway campaign is now pouncing. Here's the video and press release... enjoy:

Daniel Mongiardo Caught Tricking Taxpayers on Halloween!

"I know it's Halloween Eve, but this is SCARY! What does Mongiardo have to hide?" says Conway Campaign.

(Louisville - KY) Today, after Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo sent out an official media advisory (see attached PDF) using state email and letterhead from the Office of the Lt. Governor, he barred Conway Campaign staffers from attending the events and kicked them out of the meetings.

The events were touted as places where Dan Mongiardo would discuss health care reform and proposed legislation.

Hayward Wilkirson, head of Preserve Lexington, served up a splendid op-ed in the Monday edition of the Herald-Leader.

He lays out four very simple policy changes that could and should be implemented now based on lesons we've learned from the CentrePointe non-velopment and be sure to check those out in detail.

He also gives us a Harper's Index, of sorts, a comprehensive run down of the Webbs' lies, Mayor Newberry's collusion, and the sad history of this ridiculous project:

■ 599 days since Newberry, developer Dudley Webb and Harold Tate of the Downtown Development Authority unveiled plans for CentrePointe, claiming it would be open in time for the WEG.

A reminder for those in Lexington tomorrow afternoon: 80 plus soft drinks on tap, Rand Paul taking questions, and everyone's favorite pizza-teabagger at Mica's place!

Look how excited David Adams is:

Remember the strict rules though.

With all of those sober White Male Liberty Patriots in one room, it'll remind us of what America used to be like before the scary Black Muslin Commie-Fascist started destroying our freedoms and confiscating our guns and Bibles. Why, it'll be like deja vu!
