Politics: Kentucky teacher strike averted

Ky's Republican governor and professional dickhead Ernie Fletcher proposed absurd cuts in health insurance for teachers, so absurd that the KEA had organized a voluntary strike in many of its school districts. Thankfully, lawmakers caved just enough to prevent this disaster from happening. I guess Fletcher can sleep easy tonight on his $2,198 Tempurpedic Sealy mattress. The latter article from the Courier-Journal criticizes the Kentucky governor's mansion (including the past democratic administrations) for its frivolity and expensive operations.
