I wrote on Monday about the Republican attack on the 14th Amendment. It seems that now the GOP has another reason, other than immigration, to paint a target on the back of the 14th Amendment. According to the Huffington Post and other media outlets, a Federal judge has ruled that California’s Prop 8, which...
Election day is just two days away and the campaign is heating up. Candidates are out working to get their supporters out, there’s more news than you can shake a stick at, and Election Commissions all over the state are making their final preparations to the deluge of voters on election day. Yesterday the...
I’ve been looking at text a lot over the weekend, which got me to thinking about ASCII Art. I remember seeing ASCII Art for the first time back in the early 80′s when I still lived in Osceola. It was printed on that old green and white lined paper. I remember it because it...
With reports this week of GOP gubernatorial candidate Zach Wamp discussing secession. What Wamp said was this: I hope that the American people will go to the ballot box in 2010 and 2012 so that states are not forced to consider separation from this government… Of course, the candidate has backtracked on these statements,...
We all have hills to die on. Ideas that we aren’t willing to give up for anything. It’s not often that we get the chance to speak on those issues in a forum or to a body that has direct oversight over them, but when that opportunity arises it’s very important that you take...

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...
R. Neal at KnoxViews lays out his reasons for getting behind his Mayor for the GOP primary, at least. First, he smacks down Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey: Ron Ramsey might be an appealing candidate for Democrats to run against, but as liberal, left-wing Democrats we cannot in good conscience recommend him. He would reduce...
Missed Opportunities
Wednesday, the day after the US Department of Justice announced its suit against the state of Arizona, politicians all across the state rose their press operations in protest. It started with the more conservative crowd in TN-03, then the inevitable announcement from Ron Ramsey, and finally the surprise of the day Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee...
