Good Night to Buy a Horse: If you've always wanted one of those Gallopalooza horses for your veranda, shimmy on down to the Seelbach tonight for the big auction event. Or wait until they sell about 50 of them online. They've been moving the ponies around here at the Mellwood Arts Center all week. off to Boston: Say so long to WHAS-TV's Kyle Draper tonight at a party at Prime Lounge. Just mention Kyle and they'll let you in free. Oh No Oprah: WHAS-TV execs have about 10 months to figure out how they'll replace afternoon ratings queen Oprah Winfrey's talk show. She announced in Chicago today that she'll give it up Sept. 9, 2011. At Least They Can Afford It: A Bullitt County woman who won a $6 million judgment against McDonald's will get the money after all. A Kentucky appeals court said Louise Ogburn should be compensated by McDonald's after she followed the orders of someone who called in posing as a cop and told her, over the phone, to take her clothes off. And she did. I'm no fan of Mickey D's, but it seems a ridiculous award. Gov Speaks on Hunger: Governor Beshear does a weekly video. This week it's about how bad the problems of hunger and homelessness are in Kentucky. They're Still Playing: The next episode in the downfall of Steve Kragthorpe comes tomorrow at Noon in Tampa. Our own prognosticator, Paul Najjar, sees both the Cards and cats losing close ones tomorrow. Pakistanis Playing in Town: Check out my story on former U of L president John Shumaker, who's convinced his current employer, the federally-funded Academy for Educational Development, to finance a trip for a 16-member Pakistani entourage to visit several American universities. He happened to squeeze U of L on the list, which will coincidentally honor him by naming a building for him Monday. I'm going to see The Blind Side tonight, because I read Michael Lewis' book and want to see how good Sandra Bullock's performance is. We'll be posting over the weekend, so spend some of your free time on Mojo.
