SEN. RAND PAUL DETAINED BY TSA AT NASHVILLE AIRPORT
Quite a morning for KY's junior senator, but maybe he wasn't detained?
Rand Paul's office said the senator first set off the full-body scanner and then refused a full pat down from TSA agents, according to The Courier-Journal’s sister paper, The Nashville Tennessean. The senator’s office has not yet replied to requests for additional details . Without mentioning the senator’s name, the TSA said he refused to undergo a pat down after an alarm sounded during routine screening. “The passenger was not detained at any point,” the agency said in a statement.Can't wait to hear more about this.

NKY AUTHOR RICK ROBINSON ON STEPHEN COLBERT'S PRESIDENTIAL RUN
He says Americans need to lighten up and points to an earlier, similar run from 1960s:
Washington Post columnist Colbert I. King wrote this weekend that he finds Stephen Colbert’s antics “not the least bit funny.” King’s critique is a good example of why some people have sticks that need to be surgically removed from their asses. King says he understands the “disdain” for the GOP field and writes further, “It is indeed hard to decide which candidate to dislike the least.” King opines that such disdain and dislike is no reason to disrupt the presidential process.
Now we know who Herman Cain was speaking to when he told America to lighten up.
Colbert's skewering of how campaign finance works today in this country is not only brilliant and sad, it's also must-see TV.

We are very proud of the 16-year-old Walton-Verona student. Courtney has always loved singing since she was at a very young age. She has won several competitions as a singer, writer and composer. Courtney received yes votes from all three celebrity judges to earn her award of going to Hollywood. Parents are Andrew and Dena Flege, grandparents are Gary and Tootie Courtney. I know we will be hearing more great news of Courtney in the future.
