Both sides no

The next time someone tells you there's no real difference between our two dominant parties, take a deep breath and politely refer to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Incoming Democratic Governor Andy Beshear signed an executive order restoring voting rights to 140,000 non-violent offenders who have served their sentences and have completed parole or probation.

Outgoing Republican Governor Matt Bevin pardoned 428 rapists and murderers, only a few of whom have relatives who donated to his campaign.

Everything else is, in the words of S.J. Perelman, so much chin music.
