You stay classy, West Virginia!

On that day, Judge Michael Thornsbury, who was the county's sole circuit court justice for more than 15 years, is set to to admit his role in hatching a plot with other local officials to thwart an FBI investigation into allegations involving the local sheriff's drug habit.

This alleged conspiracy is the latest chapter in a long saga involving accusations of corruption, an extramarital affair, rape, murder, moonshine, and prescription pills in a county that is currently the focus of what one federal prosecutor described to TPM as an investigation that is just getting started.

Kentucky-bore, y'all should change your state slogan to "Well at least we're not West Virginia"

This is really just an advertising campaign for the next season of Justified.

Maybe AMC can secure rights to this and stop desperately trying to cram Low Winter Sun down my throat every five seconds
