Did you cut their food stamps? Are they in your District? Do all Kentuckians matter to you?

It was a county formed 19 years before the Civil War.
But in the towns lying between borders in Owsley, in the coal fields of eastern Kentucky, a portrait of Americans shows a community that appears frozen in time, where many still live without water or electricity.
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the Appalachian county has the lowest median household income in the states - a staggering 41.5 per cent of residents falling below the poverty line.

2. That was an interesting pictorial.

It reminded me of Rory Kennedy's American Hollow, which was about a family of Appalachian Kentuckians which was also stuck in a time warp. It really tugged at my heartstrings & I think it did the same for Rory; it was so well done.
