I’ve written a lot of columns and editorials in my time but this is the first time I’ve ever quoted Otto von Bismarck, the German politician from the 19th century.
“Politics is the art of the possible,” Bismarck once said.
The 2010 Kentucky General Assembly ended its regular session last week without doing the single-most important thing it is supposed to accomplish – get a state budget passed.
Now, the legislators will be called back into session later this summer to pass a compromise bill.
