Have at it. It has something to do with being from Kentucky. I was born and raised there (don't live there now), and my grand-parents names were Mossie and Elmer. It only gets better from there. They are lovely people, thought. Salt of the earth.
Expect to see more of this kind of thing.
"Governing while Republican" -- that says it!
I believe you and I do like Kentucky and I am sure that the majority of her citizens are much better than those in certain parts of New York (excluding where I am that is).
