The Manure Mandate
« Death to the BCS | Main | The Crony Express V »
Well Beshear will soon be inaugurated the new Governor of the Commonwealth and to kick things off he is planning a spectacular parade with lots and lots of horses.
a) A tribute to Kentucky's signature industry and most enduring symbol.
b) A chance for Beshear to ride into Frankfort on his chariot like an emperor riding into Rome.
c) An opportunity to bring back the horse and buggy era when Democratic cronyism was king.
d) Is it just the Democrats bringing a load of horse shit to Frankfort.
e) All of the above
So if you plan on attending mull these choices over and see which one fits. Just be sure to watch your step.
More than 25 horse units, with more than 150 horses, are scheduled to participate in the parade... The parade will include eight horse-drawn carriages carrying dignitaries. Gov.-elect Beshear and first lady Jane Beshear will ride in a green and gold carriage provided by the Kentucky Horse Park. The carriage will be drawn by two large Percheron horses. Other horse-drawn vehicles will include a large wagon pulled by two Clydesdales.Now for the multiple choice part. What do you think the underlying significance of all of this horse pageantry is about? (One of these came from me, one from the Beshear camp, one from my wife, and one from my mother in law. Can you guess which is which?)

(a) certainly came from Beshear. If it is (bb0, I just hope he doesn't wear a toga. Can't be (c) because cronyism was king when they were flying around in small airplanes running drugs in from Columbia. I'm thinking it's (d).
