From an editorial in the Tennessean today… In the next election, liberals think they are electing Santa Claus and not the leader of the free world. They want to sit in Uncle Sam

Do you get the feeling that the field of choices for mayor is a bit crowded? Are you having trouble picking the right candidate to go to the lightning round run-off? Not to worry. You aren’t the only one. That’s why I decided to put together a handy-dandy guide to the mayor’s race. Using scientific [...]

The Senate was in recess when Bishop, a Republican from Arley, and Barron, a Democrat from Fyffe, started an animated conversation. Bishop suddenly hit Barron in the face, and Barron fell back onto a desk.Patrick Harris, assistant secretary of the Senate, said he saw Bishop hit Barron and quickly grabbed Bishop and pulled him back. [...]

This is quite timely:…the smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the left-wing sector of the blogosphere. Anyone who doesn’t move in lockstep with the most extreme voices is savaged and ridiculed

Wow. This was completely unexpected. Brittney Gilbert of WKRN’s NashvilleisTalking.com resigned today. What kind of non-thinking, radical insanity leads to this type of thing? (background here, here, and here.) The rundown, as spoken by #9: Moonbat blogger Steve Gilliard dies. Smantix at Six Meat Buffet writes a post remembering some crappy thing Gilliard did, and [...]

The anchors for the news station that was on tonight gleefully pronounced a “historic vote” in the Tennessee House tonight. I knew that the state cigarette tax had been raised. It’s no surprise that the legislature has decided to end such an abysmal session by voting to push a truly “regressive” tax (A word that [...]

I just wanted to post that. He will announce in Nashville over the 4th of July holiday…which sucks for me as I’ll be out of town. Update: Conflicting reports on when he will announce. Either way…it looks like it’s going to happen at some point.

In a comment left in my last post Bryan says: as I commented over at Britney’s place, a very dear friend of mine lost his big sister to a murderer in a state park in West Tennessee about 2 years ago. She was one of those 12 that Mr. Fyke commented about. Stabbed to death. [...]

Brittney at NiT (whose site is down and I can’t link to) linked to an article at a web site called, “Gun Guys.” You would think that a blog called “Gun Guys” would be pro-2nd Amendment, but turns out that it’s essentially a blog that’s very anti-2nd Amendment. It’s run by a group called the [...]

The Tennessean newspaper here in Nashville has gone off and done a not-so-smart thing. They’ve published an online database that gives anyone the easy ability to search for handgun carry permit holders across the entire state of Tennessee. I first got wind of this from SayUncle. Further posts from VolunteerVoters and BloggerBlaster. The Tennessean has [...]

Good news from my Inbox: ——————- Thanks for your concern. We have removed the gun database from our Web site. My best, Meg Downey Meg Downey Managing Editor The Tennessean ——————- Bravo to the Tennessean. They should have done some research and put some thought into it *before* putting it online, but I’m glad they [...]

After a lot of discussion early in the year, the bill that would prevent the state of Tennessee from seizing firearms from law abiding citizens during a declared state of emergency passed in the House on Monday night. It was unanimous…in not only the House but also previously in the Senate. Story from KnoxNews: A [...]

I really have nothing to add to the whole JL Kirk and Associates vs. Katherine Coble episode. Most everything has been said that could be said. However, just like Bob Krumm, I love me some Google. Plus, I love a good, old-fashioned blog pile-on. So…here’s some Google lovin’ for JL Kirk, Kirk, Kirked, JL Kirk [...]

Ok, I’m going to admit it. I’m on the Fred Thompson bandwagon. Sure, you can banter one way or another if he’s really a Conservative or just a Rockefeller Republican, but when I look at the current band of pretenders I feel completely underwhelmed. My two favourites that are officially running now (Ron Paul and [...]

I thought there was a consensus on this whole global warming thing. However, why do I keep seeing more and more stories in growing numbers that are saying otherwise? Maybe that’s because it’s not as much of a consensus as some would have us believe. The arguments against the man-made global warming argument that make [...]

‘ve often (but not all the time) considered home owners associations to be tiny Politburo’s who exert their muscle over a neighborhood to make sure that no one exhibits individuality. Is it not conformity that makes a good Communist? But I digress (in a way). A homeowner’s association here in Nashville has made me think [...]
