I'm guessing Kentucky had the good sense to be embarrassed about that ark.

I'm guessing Kentucky had the good sense to be embarrassed about that ark.
Because, instead of giving Ken Hamm tax refund money that could literally not be more of a waste, Kentucky is making an investment in something important: state-wide fiber broadband.

The idea of Harlan County having faster average broadband speeds than Chicago or New York is kind of titillating.

Wewt, I won't need my corn silo wifi anymore.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The USA as a whole is so far behind on broadband that it's an almost perfect metaphor that they're ditching stone-aged bullshit for faster internet speeds. It's a small step, but at least it's a step forward.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Lucky you. I live in a county where we have cable monopolies and Republican leadership, just like the Good Lord intended, so no fiber for us.

Ditching backwards bullshit in favor of technology that carries the possibility of broader information is always a good thing.

Gay porn. Saves the male population from pastors lurking in the shadows to grab their genitals.

If only we could have that for my vacations in Door County, but, apparently, politicians opposed it because the technology required could sacrifice some of the scenic beauty.

Tennessee scoffs at your heathenry. I live in an area where ATT destroys the plants in my front yard pulling a line down to the telco box, sends me 20 flyers a day asking me to sign up for Uverse, and then tells me when I call that I am too far from the hub and that I can only get 3 megs down.

ETA: they also try to sell me their shitty TV every time I call. Which bugs me. Because when I ask them if they have the NFL Sunday Ticket, they lie to me most of the time.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

As sissified as football is nowadays, I wouldn't brag about carrying it either.
