Just because the elections are over doesn’t mean all is lost for political junkies like myself. Even though my junkiness hasn’t been expressed to it’s fullest potential as of late, nothing gets my motor running quite like a power struggle, and that’s exactly what we seem to have in the wake of the Republican...
Those of you who know me personally know I’m a process junkie. For the rest of you, what I mean by “process” is the manner in which stuff gets done in government, specifically legislative bodies. Yesterday’s meeting of the Memphis City Council was not only a study in process, but also a prime example...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
$185 right now is a week’s salary for many Tennesseans . Tennessee Republicans in the state Legislature admit they “have no problem” playing golf at taxpayer expense instead of balancing the state’s budget and working to solve problems for their communities. State Rep. Pat Marsh of Shelbyville and three other Republican members of the...
The fireball in the sky has been wanting a lot of attention these past few days. Ever closer, it has bared down on us with mocking and cruel insistence. Some quick words of advice about the heat: if you know anyone that can’t get out easily (like an elderly neighbor or the like) go...
Tomorrow is Father’s day, and since I wrote a whole post about Mother’s Day last month, I gotta do the same thing for dear old dad, lest he get jealous or feel left out or something. According to
