I am of many minds about this.  Here they are. 1.  I think it’s a fantastic idea for liberal Tennessee bloggers to throw our weight around a little and see what comes of it.  No, a thousand dollars doesn’t seem like a lot of money, but when you consider that the TNDP has, maybe, $20,000 [...]

Ina Mae

Ina Mae had a temper, a terrible temper.  That’s what her daughter-in-law, my Grandma A., told me.  My dad remembered, though, that she loved it when the boys–he and his brothers–wrestled around on the floor. Ha, speaking of my dad, I called him this morning on false pretenses.  I’m worried about him, because every time [...]

Intent

When considering someone’s bullshit, there’s always the “intent” counter-argument.  Like Pete Kotz today is all “Oh, sure, it looks bad for the sheriff to go speak to a white supremacist group, but he’s not really a racist.  He’s just rounding up brown people in order to appeal to his racist constituency.  Totally different.”  So, you [...]

Holy Shit!

Y’all, I could not stand that neither the dog nor I were in good enough shape to walk to the grade school and back.  I mean, if I had kids, I would think nothing of letting them walk to school from here (except that there are no sidewalks along Clarksville Pike, but if they cut [...]

I Wish there were a ‘Sarcastro Signal’

Because there’s hay to be made of Tracy Moore moving in next to the fairgrounds and complaining about the noise all while insulting hillbillies.  I mean, are there any poor people she likes?  First was her public humiliation of the McDonald’s employee who failed to understand her proper place in the universe and now this. [...]

Stimulating the Local Economy

Let’s just brainstorm. 1.  What if Hall charge a speaking fee to the white supremacist groups he meets with?  And that fee could go back to the city, since he wouldn’t be in high demand for speaking engagements if he didn’t have the job he did. 2.  Legalize pot and tax the hell out of [...]

Maybe John Rich Doesn’t Know His Friend Bob is From Detroit?

Everything Jim Malec says in this post is almost spot on.  From his take on John Rich’s apparently never having considered what people in Detroit are actually like, even though he hangs out with Kid Rock enough, you’d think he’d, oh, I don’t know, play the song for him and see what he thinks to… [...]

Crappy Girl Stuff

The Butcher and I went to Walmart yesterday.  Yes, Walmart.  Land that I loathe, stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from below. My feelings about Walmart remain unchanged, but eventually they just beat you down.  You walk through the aisles and everything is, basically, a dollar cheaper than it [...]

La Super Bowl

I started crying with the stupid Walter Payton mention and was teary-eyed through the national anthem, which, frankly, I loved.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard it done as defiant hymn, but I’ll take it.  This means, I guess, that the flourishy national anthem singers have finally won. Granted, we’re barely into it, but the [...]

Why The Dog and I May Need to Get Out More

It’s so beautiful here that I decided to take the dog for a walk down Lloyd road.  We got just about to the school and called the Butcher to come pick us up.  He surruptitiously set the trip odometer to see how far we’d gone.  Not even 8/10ths of a mile.  In my defense, I [...]

My Bluebird Theory

Bluebirds are not-quite-endangered, but rare.  And yet our back yard is teeming with them.  You can sit out there and count six or seven without trying.  So I wonder, why, in a time when bluebirds are struggling to get by (thanks to non-native species that kill them and use their nests) do we have what [...]
