It’s hot. Damn hot. It’s “steal a popsicle from a toddler” hot. Well, maybe it’s not that hot. Yesterday, I was in a hot warehouse with no air conditioning all afternoon. It sucked. Today will be similar. There was a bit of relief late in the afternoon. Maybe I was delirious, but it seemed...
I’ve been a posting fool today y’all. Actually, I started writing last night, but I shouldn’t pull the veil back too far, you might see all my secrets. Anyway, as I am a fairly violent typist, my fingers are killing me. What I mean by violent, is that I type very hard on the...
I don’t think a Fincher win is a given. If you had asked me two months ago, I would have said it was probably going to be the Frog Jump farmer but now, I’m not so sure. I live in the 8th and the mailouts from all three GOP candidates has been mind-boggling. I...
As promised here are my impressions from the annual TNDP Jackson Day event that was held Friday night at Belmont University. First of all, I want to congratulate the volunteers and staff of the TNDP for again exceeding expectations. After last year’s event I was wondering how they would manage to reach that high...
Vice-President Joe Biden hit Nashville last night where the TNDP held Jackson Day raising about $400,000 dollars for state democrats. The usual stuff happened where there was talk of economic recovery and the like. Al Gore showed up, a bevy of candidates including Mike McWherter and Roy Herron. Basically, the democrats had a hootenanny,...
Tonight, Pat Benatar graces the state at the Memphis Botanic Garden’s yearly concert series, Live at the Garden. I still remember the first time I heard a song by Pat Benatar. I was probably 8 or 9 years old and living in Osceola, AR. We were eating dinner at “Ken’s Pizza” when someone played...
With just under 10 days before the beginning of early voting, some of the races are really starting to heat up. Outside of the Governor’s race and the 9th District primary, the two races I’m following closest are in TN-08 and TN-06. I call these races the “Open Seat Challenge”. Both seats were held...
I spend a lot of time talking about politics. Usually I’m in a rural situation, as that is where I currently live, and the conversation usually goes like this. Random person: What do you do? Me: Blah, blah, blah and I work p/t in politics. RP: I HATE POLITICS! Nobody cares about us. I...
The Republicrat And The 8th District
Every once in awhile, do you find yourself wanting to say “I told you so” so badly that you grit your teeth until bloody pieces of tongue starts floating around your mouth. Well, by golly, I’m going to do it right now just because I feel that we don’t talk about the Republicrat as...
