I don’t really have a lot to say this morning. I think I said myself out yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, the “sense of the commission” resolution on consolidation passed 6-3-1. Two commissioners weren’t in attendance at the time of the vote. The matter comes up again on Monday. Send your Commissioner an email in...
An article in this morning’s Commercial Appeal highlights something every educator already knows: Poverty plays a big role in the education of our nation’s children. As the child of two educators who avoided the family business, this isn’t news to me. I’ve been hearing this my entire life. So its odd when I hear...
Yesterday I was given the unique opportunity to spend 8 hours in the blazing hot sun, in long pants. Without going into too many details of my work shenanigans, it was for a good cause. But the toll on my body has left me more than a little battered, bruised and burned this morning....
Well, I guess that would be all of us. I actually like being a hooligan. I think it brings me character. Today, because I want to, I am celebrating Les Paul’s Birthday. Still miss him because he was one of the grooviest people ever to pick up a guitar pick. So, what’s going on?...
Former Indianapolis Mayor, Stephen Goldsmith, spoke yesterday at a forum hosted by Rebuild Government about the challenges of consolidation as well as some of the opportunities that unifying the two largest governments in Shelby County presents.

The Commercial Appeal thinks so. In an editorial published Sunday the Memphis daily takes a look at some of the crazy that flows through the lege in an election year. Voters should look at every vote with skepticism. Some representatives are doing their best to show that they will do anything, however illogical, meaningless...
Steve Cohen is in the news, and it’s not for calling Tea Partiers racist. According to his campaign website, the American Bar Association honored him with the “Day Award”. The American Bar Association (ABA) has presented Congressman Steve Cohen with its Day Award for his work in funding the Legal Services Corporation, a nonprofit...
‘Cause today my friends, that’s all we have time for so we are going to do some quick hits around Tennessee. Casa De STP (no, not Stone Temple Pilots) has a bunch of busy campers today. More sentiments are coming in regarding Dr. Benjamin Hooks. The Memphis Flyer’s Chris Davis has an interview with...
ID’s for Illegals
Sometimes people say things without fully considering the long-term impact of their words. Actually, it happens more often than you think. So when Republican Shelby County Mayoral Candidate Mark Luttrell was asked in a recent candidate forum about issuing County ID cards to immigrants for the purpose of giving them easier access to law...
