The above is the license plate of a Kentucky Colonel. What is a Kentucky Colonel, you may ask. The Colonels are listed as a voluntary, philanthropic organization. In order to become a Colonel, you must be nominated by a current Colonel and then appointed by the governor. The appointment is supposed to be for some philanthropic work that has benefited the people of the state.
Personally, I don't know of any philanthropic works actually done by the Colonels I run across. Rather, it's more of an I'm connected and important type of thing. Now I ask you, in a state that has been nominated for most corrupt in the country, is it a good idea to give one class of people a special license plate that proclaims them politically connected all the way up to the governor? It sounds more like a get out of tickets plate than anything else.
