Yesterday was the 90th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment. Even though the official date isn’t until next Thursday, on the 26th, yesterday was the day that Tennessee signed on to the amendment, effectively ratifying the amendment. It’s a great day in the history of the United States, and Tennesseans should be...
From my own personal made up classifieds section: Wanted: Interpreter for Ongoing Elections Dispute The successful candidate will be fluent in “Yankee” and “Good Ole Boy” and be able to efficiently communicate the concerns of each. Candidate need not have any knowledge of election law or issues surrounding the current question as such information...
Harvey Pekar is dead. Harvey Pekar did exactly what Harvey Pekar wanted to. He talked about what he wanted to talk about, he was an artist that was oddly passionate about what most people would not find to be sexy, he pissed David Letterman off but I’ve often wondered if David Letterman pissed him...
Every time I see a Twilight movie (which has only been twice on margaritas because I like my vampires a bit dangerous such as this dashing fellow who beat a guy with his very own arm at one time) I laugh. I can’t say that I don’t enjoy them because I do. I enjoy...
Folks, I’m here to tell you that at some point in the last week, I ran out of places to notice any new tire tracks that might have appeared on my person. Yeah, that’s right, I feel “runt over” in a couple of ways that I’m not entirely ready to deal with right now,...

You don’t think people use social media? Think again, and it’s not just the younguns. The percentage of Americans age 12 and older who have a profile on one or more social networking sites has reached almost half (48%) of the population in 2010, double the amount from two years ago (24% in 2008),...
GoldnI is focusing on Jeff Yarbro’s use of the innertubes to make some dough-re-mi, but inside her post she points out how interesting his campaign is From the candidate’s Flickr site going to get. I don’t know how much competition any candidate today would really have in raising money online, since our politicians in...
You never get a second chance to make a first impression, but you have a lifetime to backtrack and hopefully prove you’re not a jerk. I think the Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell is finding this out now, after he had to backtrack on his announcement of Confederate Heritage Month, and his stunning omission...
Have Democrats Lost Their Confidence?
I’m speaking generically of course but I can’t help but think that may be the case. When a blogger posts an edited version of speech given by Shirley Sherrod and the White House reacts by firing her without even looking for context and more information, it shows a weakness in the chain. We see...
