I've been trying to avoid news lately as much as possible for Lent but I am amazed at what a big deal they are making about the college bribery scandal. I can't believe that there are people that actually believed that college admission was soley on the basis of merit. Call me cycnical but the wealthy, the politicians, the "influencers" have always been given advantages that the average person doesn't get.
In local news... the circuit court judge ordered our local politicians to go out for coffee twice a week with each other. Our County Executive and one of the magistrates are opposed by the other 3 magistrates so nothing is getting done. Eastern KY in general is going broke quickly and everyone wants to spend more time blaming each other and kicking the can down the road rather than work to solve the problem.
