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...
Nick Beadle of the Jackson Sun is on the case with more: Last week I wrote that a Memphis-area Tea Party group was complaining that Republican Stephen Fincher had not returned their calls about a debate in Bartlett but Democrat Roy Herron was talking with them about participating in the event. According to an...
Guess which television news network may no longer be considered the most right-leaning network after this summer? That’s right. Fox News is about to get some competition for those conservative Nielsen family eyeballs. Comcast is planning to launch a new channel named the Right Network. The new channel is using Kelsey Grammer – yep...
Southern Beale has taken a deeper look at the TEA Party movement and found it lacking. It seems to me the only electoral “victory” our media can point to for the Tea Party is Scott Brown’s election in Massachusetts. While the Tea Party Express endorsed him, Brown himself never claimed to be part of...

Some are skeptical of moneymaking ventures tied to the movement, while others endorse the capitalism. Competing groups in the Memphis area, the Mid-South Tea Party and...
The Commercial Appeal is reporting that tonight Congressman Steve Cohen received threats on his campaign website: U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen’s office will contact federal law enforcement authorities about a threat the campaign received through its Web site Monday night, a Cohen spokesman said. What did it say? Laced with expletives, the e-mail said, in...
Passover and Easter are aligned at the same time this year and are holidays of faith centering around rebirth and forgiveness and renewal. These holidays of faith do not have a huge Easter bunny stalking children with gifts of chocolate eggs, but large rabbits sort of give me the wiggums so it might just...
Ron Kirkland Comes Out Against Unisex Bathrooms
Well, that’s burying the lede now, isn’t it? First of all, kudos to Nicholas Beadle for reporting the story behind the story on his blog at the Jackson Sun, Motion Carried. You probably have already heard that basically candidates Ron Kirkland and Randy Smith said that while they were in the military, homosexuals were...
