I'm married with two daughters and have been teaching political science in a red state for 19 years. My blogging covers a lot of issues but I'm a progressive kind of guy who tends to focus on political process, conservatism, and religiosity. Living in the Bible Belt gives me a little different though not necessarily more friendly perspective on conservatism. I also get in the occasional sports post.

Kentucky Comes to the Big Apple
No, I'm not referring to the star turn that Laura Bell Bundy (of Lexington, KY) is taking in Legally Blonde on Broadway. Instead, it's the invasion of Kentucky-style political corruption on the cheap. Former Brooklyn Supreme Court judge Gerald Garson got 3-10 years for fixing divorce cases in exchange for cigars. In the BOPTROT scandal in the early nineties, Kentucky legislative leaders corrupted themselves for steak dinners. Corruption is immoral--corruption for nothing (or almost nothing) is an embarrassment.
