Poll shows Ky. Governor Matt Bevin unpopular and trailing Democratic challengers
Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer Published 6:00 AM EST Dec 18, 2018 Republican Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin has angered many people in the past year. Bevin has fought a much-publicized battle with teachers over pensions. He blocks people on social media who criticize him. And Bevin often clashes with the media, most recently in his video lambasting the Louisville Courier-Journal launching a one-year partnership with nonprofit ProPublica to investigate Kentucky state government. Like President Trump, Bevin was an outsider businessman who rode voter dissatisfaction with establishment politicians into office. Once there, he hasn't softened his often confrontational approach, especially on social media. Now a poll released Tuesday showed Bevin growing more unpopular with Kentuckians and trailing his Democratic challengers. Independent polling firm Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy found 38 percent of Kentuckians approved of their … [Read more...] about Poll shows Ky.

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in his final episode of 'The Walking Dead.' (AMC) WARNING! Do not proceed if you haven't watched Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead! For everyone else, get your Sheriff's hat on and let's get started! So, Rick's not dead. Sunday's episode of "The Walking Dead" marked the last time we'll see Rick Grimes in action, after Andrew Lincoln revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that his time on the show had come to an end. But while fans were preparing for a death even more emotional than the time we had to say goodbye to Noah, or Hershel, or Glenn, or Sasha, or Tyreese, or Carl (we could go on), instead, Rick left the show alive. He was clinging onto life in a helicopter, but still, he was alive. Rick began the episode impaled by rebar, but thank god he wore a belt that day, because it's the only thing that saved him from getting eaten alive by an approaching herd of Walkers.

Short Report: The refreshed 2018 Subaru Outback is softer and prettier, but is it better?
Full Car Details More Reviews The rest of the country might think we’re crazy, but Southern Californians think that snow is awesome. We regularly bask in some of the most enviable and temperate climates in the world, but in winter, we’ll drive for hours to trod upon, throw, and play in the white stuff, even when it’s been bespoiled by road grime, diesel fumes and whatever that yellow stuff is. And while the snow gods disappointed us with a shallower layer of powder than usual, along with high temperatures to melt what there was on the weekend of our trip, we headed north from our suburban Los Angeles domicile and made our annual trek to take in some of the white stuff. A cozy cabin in the woods? Check. Snow gear? Check. A 2018 Subaru Outback? Check. We specifically chose the Outback as our road-trip vehicle for its cargo capacity and all-wheel drive capability. It looked the part, too. With its gray lower cladding, raised suspension and … [Read more...] about Short Report: The refreshed 2018 Subaru Outback is softer and prettier, but is it better?
