on: So we understand why they were built — Civil War monuments in Kentucky
... Thank you for the article and all your comments that complicate my understanding. On my dad’s side, my grandfather’s namesake was a Union general out of Pittsburgh. Alexander married my Southern-belle grandma, Annie Pearl, from South Carolina. Pearl was a staunch anti-racist ... I’ll never forget her piercing gaze that one time when she declared, “Never forget Sherman’s March [to the Sea] and what it did to the South.” I think it’s especially important during these times of homegrown extremism and simpleminded-ness to commit to education — going both ways ... —Scott Callow
on: Trustee Robert Hughes defends UofL President James Ramsey
Well, Bob, what fictitious response do you have now to the external audit? You should be ashamed of enabling such a greedy looting of the UofL endowment. Whatever Ramsey and staff accomplished should have been covered by their base salaries.

on: Thorns & Roses — UofL foundation propped up athletic department
So all athletes are now “so-called student” [athletes] and aren’t there to learn? That’s a pretty broad brush you’re wielding there. Of course, not all of them are the elitist snobs like those in charge of this publication. —Billy Voltaire
on: Louisville’s real food scene, What the lazy national media miss
Yikes, and here I just wrote a post about the food scene in Louisville. I hope I didn’t commit the cardinal sins you talked about! I did, admittedly, focus on one small-ish area stretching from Downtown to The Highlands and Clifton ... I’ll have to do a follow-up post for all the places that didn’t make the cut to earn back some of my Louisville native cred. —Practical Wanderlust
