As you know, we are getting back into the swing of things over here. Bear with us as we dust ourselves off. Let’s take a stroll, shall we: Katie Allison Granju, who just got honors as a best blogger at Knoxville.com, writes of an epidemic. One that you may not know anything about unless...
During our long break, I’ve had some time to think about what’s going on with all the dissatisfaction from voters out there. For over a year we’ve been hearing about the Tea Party and whatnot, as if that’s the only political movement that’s energized in the nation. Certainly there’s some evidence out there that...
Busy morning this am. No time for strange screeds or anything like that. School started for me yesterday, and I have more reading to do than a speed reader tackling the federal tax code. We’ll probably be experiencing some lighter than the already light schedule of blogging over the next few weeks. Of course,...
It started last Thursday. I was on my way to Jonesboro, when I choked on some coffee, as I am prone to do from time to time. Actually, I can find a way to swallow just about any drink “down the wrong hole” sending me into a coughing fit that would shake your faith...
I’m feeling a little blank today. Nothing bad has happened, in fact, yesterday I got some REALLY good news about my Financial Aid for the upcoming semester. But, for whatever reason, this morning I’m just kinda blank. It happens. Most of the time when there’s too much going on I thrive. All the activity...

The dial on the clock says 5:30, even though this isn’t going to publish until around nine, this is how the day begins just about every morning. This morning is a little different. Now that schools out for a few weeks I have more time to work, which is good for my bank account,...
There are a lot of things in this world that require people to have faith. Much of our financial system is grounded on the “full faith and trust” that debts will be repaid. In fact, were it not for this trust, our money would just be nicely decorated bits of paper. In our spiritual...
Looks like we’re going to have a full on investigation into what happened on election day in Shelby County. Shelby County DA Bill Gibbons asked the TBI to look into “criminal” violations. Congressman Steve Cohen has also sent a letter to the USDOJ to ask for an investigation of the issue. Last night, over...
I would like to apologize in advance for a lack of snark this morning. I’ve been writing this epic research paper about minority disenfranchisement and legislative representation in local governing bodies for about two weeks, and well, the research that I’ve done has sucked the snark right out of my bones. I’m sure everything...
