Associated Press wrote:Pam loses battle of bust
Kentucky's governor has rejected TV star Pamela Anderson's appeal to pluck a bust of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders from the state Capitol because she considered it "a monument to cruelty" to chickens.

In a letter to Anderson, Governor Ernie Fletcher said he has no intention of removing the Sanders bust from the statehouse. "We have no plans to remove or change anything about the display," Fletcher said in the letter sent Friday. "Colonel Sanders remains a Kentucky icon. His success story has been an inspiration to many. The industry he began has employed hundreds of thousands of workers over the years. His business and his legacy have been good for Kentucky."
“Avoid whatever is approved of by the mob, and things that are the gift of chance. Whenever circumstance brings some welcome thing your way, stop in suspicion and alarm ...They are snares. ... we think these things are ours when in fact it is we who are caught. That track leads to precipices; life on that giddy level ends in a fall.” - Seneca

Harlan was a genuine 'Kentucky Colonel';
a real fine old chicken plucker.
