The upcoming session of the Tennessee General Assembly begins in just 15 days. Between now and then there will likely be a whole bunch of nothing news wise, except for the TNDP Chair election which is about as exciting as watching socks dry in the rain (no offense guys, but seriously). Considering the huge...
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...
There are a lot of things in this world that require people to have faith. Much of our financial system is grounded on the “full faith and trust” that debts will be repaid. In fact, were it not for this trust, our money would just be nicely decorated bits of paper. In our spiritual...
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...
I have been at two locations today which did not have coffee. I scowled about that on this post July 4th holiday where I believe that a lot of Americans have the day off from work. I work from home so there really isn’t ever a day off for me so when the coffee...
Apparently they weren’t at pridefest in Knoxville this weekend. And Chris Sanders at Grand Division is asking why because he says it wasn’t there.

Ahh, long weekends. I think we need more of them. Not because they’re necessarily more relaxing or you get more stuff done that you need to get done over a typical weekend, but because that extra day gives you a little more time to take it easy, hang out with friends and loved ones,...
The Tennessean reports on some developments in the Campfield/Casada Defamation case. Byrge’s attorney David Dunaway said that Casada made an inaccurate statement when he said no other defamation complaints had been filed against him in the previous four years. “This is not the first time in which they’ve been involved with regard to websites...
…after throwing stones at another. According to the In Session blog, Campfield is asserting the false statements he published on his blog in October of 2008 about Roger Byrge, a Democratic candidate, were protected under the 1st Amendment because he didn’t know they were false. Way to check your sources Campy! Campfield did remove...
From Sean Braisted. Rep. Stacey Campfield, the bombastic blogger State Rep, is looking to make his way up the chain of command to the Tennessee Senate, but is facing some stiff competition, at least in the wallet. There are five Republicans qualified for the seat, of those, three are serious: Head to Nashville for...
