Kentucky's Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear breathlessly announced today that he has secured a deal with Ark Encounter LLC to build an awesome creationism-themed amusement park in his state. What, along with a "full-scale Noah's Ark," will it contain?

Kentuckian Harvey Westmoreland didn't want any trouble when he tried to sell his lawnmower to some friends. But trouble sure found him. What happened, Harvey? "[E]verything just went haywire... They cut my beard and forced me to eat it."

Tim Profitt, the supporter of Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul who stepped on protester Lauren Valle's shoulder and head last week, has been charged with misdemeanor assault. Guess the apology he demanded from Valle won't be coming anytime soon.

It came down to the wire, but one group this election cycle has finally made an ad so shocking and negative that it can only air after 10 p.m.! Let's look at the Kentucky Democratic party's terrifying "Rand Paul STOMP."

The (ex-)Rand Paul county coordinator who stomped on a liberal activist's head before a Kentucky Senate debate Monday night would like an apology from her. She started it and was basically asking for it, you see.

Now that we've identified the Tea Partier who wrestled a female protester to the ground at Kentucky's Senate debate, how about the guy who trod on her face? Meet Tim Profitt. He once had his picture taken with Rand Paul.

A woman protesting against Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul outside Monday night's debate was dragged to the ground and had her head "stomped" by a sneaker-wearing old man. Kentucky: You need to take a chill pill.

Finally, a bit of the ol' ultraviolence in Debate Season 2010: Kentucky Senate candidates Rand Paul and Jack Conway nearly came to fisticuffs last night, following the release of Conway's incendiary attack ad questioning Paul's Christianity. Bloodbath highlights, below.

Republican Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul had some wacky adventures in college with his secret society. One time he tied up a woman and made her worship the "Aqua Buddha". All used as fodder for this trippy campaign commercial.

When his wife didn't cook his eggs right for breakfast, 47-year-old Kentucky resident Stanley Neace got so angry he killed her, his stepdaughter and three neighbors—then shot himself. He was facing eviction for his bad temper. [Daily Mail]

It's unsurprising that Rep. Ron Paul, Congress' defiant libertarian, would be appalled at his fellow Republicans' demagoguery over an Islamic center in Lower Manhattan. Now that he's made his disgust apparent, though, how does it reflect on his candidate-son, Rand?

The political world recently learned about Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul's college secret society exploits, like when he "kidnapped" a woman, offered her pot, and made her worship a false idol. But the woman now insists, it wasn't a "kidnapping."

Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul — the one who's scared of Meet the Press — had such an exciting college experience. Once, he kidnapped a lady and forced her to take "bong hits" and worship a water god. Kids!

Tim Scott was snapping cellphone pictures of a wild black bear in Kentucky when it attacked him: "The bear had a really good chunk of my leg in his mouth and was shaking me." The animal is now being hunted.

Having just gotten over the whole slave emancipation insult, the American South now finds itself mired in another fierce debate: should black people be allowed in my club? What about on a jury? With white folks?!

Kentucky Republican Rand Paul is in the news! The newly-anointed Republican candidate for U.S. Senate told Rachel Maddow last night that he supported a business' right to exclude blacks. Everyone got very excited by this. Who is this man?

It's election day! And as we all know, elections are about voting out politicians who we hate—especially this year, when a bunch of "establishment" candidates could lose. Let us help you figure out who you should hate today.

Crazy Senator Jim Bunning is retiring. The Republicans selected normal Republican guy Trey Grayson to replace him. But crazy Ron Paul's son Rand (yes, Rand) Paul is also running, and he's kicking Grayson's ass. Time to call in Cheney.

In light of George Tiller being gunned down in a church, this blows the mind: a Louisville pastor wants to expand his flock by encouraging them to brandish firearms while they worship.

Jim Bunning, who is a Senator pretty much because he was once a major league pitcher, is the Senate's biggest prick.
