Much to the dismay of my free time, back in the Spring I decided to audition for the University of Memphis Mock Trial Team. This afternoon, after having access to this year’s case for just over 2 months, the team heads off the Saint Louis for our first competition. I don’t really know what...
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,...
Howdy folks. Haven’t had the time to blog here at Speak to Power for a bit but I’m back in the saddle today, hopefully. Grand Slam Steve Ross is without the tubes this morning so I’m here to raise a glass of java with you. I actually have been on the road in northwest...
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,...
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 am waiting patiently for the first Tennessean to spontaneously combust. It is going to happen. I realize that, if you have ever read me for any length of time, you probably know I also have been waiting for Bigfoot’s arrival for a number of years. And, just because I have become a creepy...
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...
Four days after the election and I’m still not sure what to think of the results here in Shelby County. This is partially because the Election Commission hasn’t released the entire participating voter list yet, and partially because the majority of the “burn down the village” analysis directed at the local Democratic Party has...
