I hate Kentucky, born here and lived here all my life. I am rooting for Duke against my alma mater UK tonight (I am also usually a rabid UK basketball fan) I want Kentucky people to feel some hurt. Bunch of fascist white evangelicals in this state, and I despise every last one of them. God I hate Kentucky!
