Collecting sales tax on Internet purchases: so how would that work?
Tue May 7, 2013
- Joe, this isn't a federal tax. It's mandating that online retailers collect the tax for the state the customer lives in. So if you buy from an online retailer in Virginia, it would have to collect the sales tax for New York and remit it to Albany. Most states require that you pay sales tax on out of …
Op-ed attacking colleges that rejected her was 'satire,' student says
Thu Apr 4, 2013
- There are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of applicants to these prestigious schools. At least on paper, all of them should be qualified. Admissions people have to start looking for reasons to weed people out simply because there isn't room enough for them all, especially since legacy students …
CVS to workers: Tell us how much you weigh or it'll cost you $600 a year
Wed Mar 20, 2013
- My employer positioned having the blood work etc., as a discount off the premium, not a penalty; at this point, data is supposed to be reported in the aggregate and not on individuals. This is the first year we've done this, so we'll see how it goes next year. At this point, there's no pressure to c …
Conservative group blasts Ashley Judd as 'Obama-following, radical, Hollywood liberal'
Wed Feb 6, 2013
- Like Rick,KY, I have my doubts about Ashley running. I think Mitch has more to fear from a Tea Party primary candidate--if turtle gets past that hurdle, the Dems need a more centrist candidate if they hope to win this seat. If the Tea Party candidate wins the primary, the state will go for him or he …

Strange bedfellows: Liberals, Tea Party team up to oust McConnell
Wed Jan 30, 2013
- OK, I'm a Kentuckian and I can tell you this strategy will not work. Unless the Republican primary comes up with a genuine, extreme nut-case for a candidate, the rural voters and most of northern Kentucky will overwhelmingly vote for the Republican. The Dem will take Lexington and Louisville, but ad …
Yes, we can fix Social Security (but it won't be pretty)
Mon Dec 24, 2012
- No need to cut benefits; simply raise the cap on income subject to SS tax from $110k to at least $250K, or eliminate the cap altogether.
Prepare for the fiscal cliff by 'cleaning house' on Facebook
Fri Dec 14, 2012
- Most useless article I've had the bad judgement to click on. Must dope slap myself.
Apple CEO Tim Cook announces plans to manufacture Mac computers in USA
Thu Dec 6, 2012
- This may be part of a trend. Element is assembling TVs near Detroit and talking with vendors about sourcing parts from the US. Meanwhile, GE has brought some appliance production back to Appliance Park in Louisville and starting to manufacture some parts onshore. The drivers seem to be not only ship …
Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, 6, lands modeling gig
Mon Nov 26, 2012
- I think Birkhead still lives in Louisville near his family. Not much more mid-America than that. I suppose everyone missed the photos of father and daughter at the Kentucky Derby this year. My theory is that he does these occasional public appearances with her now that she's older to fulfill whateve …
