I wrote on Monday about the Republican attack on the 14th Amendment. It seems that now the GOP has another reason, other than immigration, to paint a target on the back of the 14th Amendment. According to the Huffington Post and other media outlets, a Federal judge has ruled that California’s Prop 8, which...
A poll released yesterday by Yacoubian Research shows that the race for Shelby County Mayor is tightening, though the end results are well within the margin of error. The poll, conducted last week shows the gap seperating Democratic Nominee Joe Ford and Republican Nominee Mark Luttrell tightening from 5% to 3% with significant gains...
I woke up late this morning and have had a hard time getting going. I think this may be a common problem for me on Wednesdays. No, I haven’t gone back to look at past Wednesday morning posts or anything, but for some reason I feel that Wednesday is the day that I dread...
For those of you who don’t know, Joe Biden is in the state today for the TNDP Jackson Day. I know a lot of folks can’t make it, but I’ll be there just waiting for the gaffe to drop, or a random F-Bomb. I love Joe Biden. I’m not sure how ticket sales have...

It’s a busy morning, and well, I’m a little behind. So instead of trying to come up with something clever, I’m gonna have to take this coffee to go. – Looks like some somebodies forgot something. Whoopsie. Thelma Harper is awesome Shelby County Mayoral candidates Joe Ford and Mark Luttrell go at it again....
It seems that its milestone time around here. Last week we passed out 1000th post, then we had our first speaking gig and now we have our first full week without the shenanigans of the legislature. While that may seem like a big change for a little blog that’s spent a lot of time...
That’s right folks, Steffens, Trace and I are cleaning the Cheeto dust off our computer keyboards and coming out of mom’s basement for a few hours to say a little something to the Democratic Women of Shelby County. Good thing I’m taking that public speaking class this semester. Maybe I can get some extra...
Strange Signs
There are a lot of things I don’t understand, and this picture is one of them. How does someone support the most liberal member of the Tennessee delegation to Congress, and two Republicans who are anything but liberals? I won’t rush to judgement. For all I know these folks are personal friends of all...
