Great, Now I’m Going to Have That Stuck in My Head All Day

Tiny Pasture says it’s “probably best if Indiana voters don’t see this.”  I’m not sure why.  Will Indianans be surprised and disillusioned to see that the jungle their native son worked so hard to welcome them to is filled with catchy lyrics and fun dancing?  Will they be dismayed to learn that all the hard work [...]

Okay, I’m Not Done

Shoot, I just can’t let this go.  Okay, I’ll say this and then I’m done.
This:
I’m just a dumpy broad with a computer and some random stuff to say.  What I enjoy about blogging and what makes it for me more than just an exercise in being a writer too cowardly to really write is the [...]

Is That a Cellphone in Your Pocket or are You Just Happy to See Me?

Kleinheider (aka Tiny Pasture, aka Carter) is out of Volunteer Voters.  In a perfect world, we’d all go down to the bar, lay him out on the pool table and send him out McNulty-style.
Alas, this is not that perfect world.
I wanted to say something mushy and heartfelt about Kleinheider’s job over at Volunteer Voters, but [...]

Only Among the Folks in Washington…

Only among the folks in Washington can three people who have all been Senators run for president and the man who’s run before be considered an outsider.
America, do you know who would be a real outsider in the Democratic race?
Tiny Pasture.
Call me with talk of “outsider” when he gains momentum in Iowa.

Two Quick Hits from Tiny Pasture

1.  He reports that the Tennesseee Republican Party is violating copyright in order to show us the true meaning of Christmas.
2.  He reports that we’re just says away from the start date of the new Tennessee law that will fine businesses for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.  I have a couple of questions, all snarkiness aside.  [...]

Oh, Tiny Pasture

If I can’t even make the Sunday Morning Tennessee Liberal Blog round-up, I highly doubt I will make the New Media Hot Sheet, even if it does seem like “objectionable material,” “irreverant,” and “base” could only mean that the Governor is warning folks that they may have to read Tiny Cat Pants.

In Defense of Kleinheider

Dear Gwen Kinsey:
With all due respect, you are completely and utterly wrong. So wrong that reading your take on Kleinheider causes me to shudder in fear.  So wrong that it makes me fear that you don’t know how to recognize your assets nor how to correctly value them.
Let’s just start with this little tidbit, which [...]

Of course, I tease because I love.

Lil’ P, You’re Going to Drive Me to Drinkin’

Lil’ P has a post.  It’s the kind of post that makes me want to spend all morning refuting it, except I wonder if that actually does any good. 
And I’m a little jealous.  I wonder what it would be like to just make blatently and patently false claims and be able to go through life [...]

Random Stuff of Kleinheider’s I Feel Needs Addressing

As a side note, I think I’m totally going to call Tiny Pasture, Lil’ P from here on out.
Lil’ P over at Volunteer Voters continues to bring me news that consternates me.  Let’s give each of them a moment, shall we?
–Roger Abramson is back with The Scene.  Roger, I’m funny.  Can’t you encourage Liz to [...]

“Hate” May Be Too Strong

Little Pasture* says: “Stacey Campfield recently spoke before a group Aunt B. says is a hate group.”
I just want to clarify.  I’ve been giving this some thought and I think that maybe white supremacy is not quite the right phrase in the case of these anti-immigration groups.  I don’t know.  LP’s got me thinking of [...]

Kleinheider, We’re All Friends Here. You Can Tell Us.

Do you ever, at the end of a long day at Volunteer Voters, hang your head in shame for America?
Because, I have to tell you, I read the comments on this post, read the post and comments over at Oatney’s, and I had to put my head down on my desk and wait for the [...]

Is Kleinheider Coming Around?

Today, Kleinheider says:
In my opinion, you are only pro-life if you believe abortion should be outlawed (with exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother) at some level of government. You can be pro-life and not want a human life amendment to the constitution. You can be pro-life and prefer that the issue go to [...]

Like Uncle Walt, I Contain Multitudes

Lil’ Pasture* tried to call me out yesterday.
I would caution, however, that this system only works when there is a benevolent, homogeneous ingroup in charge. Something that wouldn’t be possible if other aspects of her ideology were carried out.
For there to us an us there has to be a them. It just doesn’t seem in [...]

You Know What They Say about Assuming–Another Open Letter to Kleinheider

Dear Mr. Tiny Pasture*:
I could spend my afternoon fretting about the Butcher, who is spending his afternoon sitting in a doctor’s office.  I could spend my afternoon coming up with reasons why men with big brown eyes should beg me to let them plant gentle kisses on my cooter**.  Hell, I could finish up lunch [...]

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby

Y’all, let me tell you, there’s nothing like standing in a conference room, overlooking a man sitting at a desk, watching as a woman, who appears to be confused and fretting, brings him a basket.
In the basket is a baby, some binkies, some hot sauce, some tortillas, and a sad, sad letter describing how the [...]

Men, There’s Only So Much I Can Do

Listen, I think we all have the basics of feminism down:
1.  Women and men are not better or worse than each other.
2.  Women are fully human and should be treated that way by the law.
3.  Being a woman is not inherently an insulting joke the universe played on half the population, therefore using womanliness as [...]

Nativists, Attack!

Dear Carter Tiny Pasture,
It has come to my attention that there is a group of people in this country that has been, since the time of the founding of our country, a scourge upon our fair land.
Ben Franklin said of them, that they are”a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to” ruin [...]

Here We Go Again

It’s not a perfect analogy, but let’s say you live in a little village on one side of the interstate, next door to the most awesome bar imaginable.
Say that your buddy John lives on the other side of the interstate, directly across from you and the bar.  But it’s rural nowhere, so, if he’s going [...]

If Only Hispanic Nashville Would Come Up with a Brochure…

In my spare time, I’m going to whoop up some brochures for Hispanic Nashville so that folks associated with the site can just hand them out as necessary.
The first one would be
Hispanic, Latino, Chicano–What’s the Difference?
Hispanic–Loosely, someone of Spanish descent. In some circles, used to refer exclusively to Spain. In other cases, used [...]

It Turns Out “Soiree” is Not Spanish for Blogger Orgy

Mack’s having a soireeup at the cabin tomorrow.  I’ve made my famous potato salad, which might be a tad mustardy and a little under onioned, and seven layer bars (or Hello Dollys as the Plimcos call them).  I’ve got bendy straws, a vegetable platter, cups, plates, bowls, plastic silverware, and napkins.  And a cooler.
I’ve got [...]

Stacey Campfield, For You I Propose Fourteen OTHER Words

“It’s not a compliment nor particularly funny to nickname someone Hitler, not even Kleinheider.”
Learn it, love it, apply it.
Yours,
Aunt B.

The Narcissistic Princess Has Her Say

Here.

Let’s Talk Frank About Kleinheider

Are conservatives in this state insane, is Carter damn near omnipotent, or is Fred Thompson the Right’s Tinkerbell?
Ha, in all fairness to you, dear readers, the thesis statement of this post is so awesome that there is no way that the rest of it can be anywhere near as good.  I just feel like I [...]

Giving Props Where Props are Due

I don’t often have nice things to say about Kleinheider here at Tiny Cat Pants, but today he is getting nothing but love from me for the following posts:
They’re Voting Sexy Back, Stacey Campfield Don’t Know How To Act
and
A Sexy Deferred
I laughed so hard trying to explain that to the Butcher over dinner. Excellent post [...]
