moment of pen
Last night on the Colbert Report, Stephen C. referred to Fancy Farm, KY (it has to do with the upcoming KY Senate Race in ’10) where he said “the pig s–t smells like perfume”. My maternal grandmother crazily enough is from Fancy Farm. I’ve never been there so I have no reporting to offer on the odour of the swine. But I’ve never heard it referred to on national television and likely never will again.
Fancy Farm is a big deal in KY because it’s sort of a first-pass for any politicians and it’s the o-fficial start of the campaign season. This year it was more important than other years because our junior senator was pushed out of running for re-election next year. That leaves an opening and in a 40-60 senate that seat will be hotly contested. Everyone who has a name in KY is going to run. Ron Paul’s son, who lives in Bowling Green, announced he’s running yesterday.
Chris, my stepmother was from Greasy Creek, KY. We love our weird names around here.Report
