Salem’s Lots’ plan to unify Iraq
Since I”ve already had the hubris to make a political endorsement (as in, I’m not sure my FAMILY is going to vote for Briley, much less anyone not connected by blood), it’s time to aim higher: peace between the Sunnis, … Continue reading
Speech must mention the Prezident 3 TIMES and tell how Comrade Bush’s 5 year plan is really shaping up..
Further evidence of the politics-first-who-gives-a-ratsass-about science or health mentality of some of the Bush acolytes, former Surgeon General Carmona had the audacity to write a speech about how the world’s health was our concern because boundaries are meaningless when it … Continue reading
Endorsements and tough choices – Briley for Mayor
I feel compelled to say that I have no pretense that my endorsement of anyone via my blog, Salem’s Lots, has much more meaning than my yard sign. I don’t pretend that the citizens of Nashville are waiting, breath bated, … Continue reading
You know you’re in trouble when the FBI Director says you’re lying
I’ve got Alberto Gonzales on his second ‘standing ‘eight count‘. Why aren’t Republicans who are running for re-election (or E-lection to the Oval Office) sending a modern-day ‘Barry Goldwater‘ to the Bush White House to encourage a Gonzales ‘resignation for … Continue reading
Arggggggggggggggggghhh – Stop with the freakin’ generalizations
If a person believed everything he/she read* and they only read conservative to right-right-wing blogs and talk shows you’d believe that liberals were illogical, america-haters, godless, semi-treasonous, responsible for the decline in American civilization as well as losing the Vietnam … Continue reading

Is an election ever NOT ABOUT the lesser of two evils
Sean Braisted endorses Diane Neighbors for vice-mayor (over Carol Baldwin Tucker). S-townMike says a pox on both houses. In the comments under Sean’s endorsement, Mike is bewildered by progressives who don’t understand that Neighbors is way too pro-business. I think … Continue reading

Probably not much ‘conchord’ on this issue, but I love this show..
I can’t do, watch, or digest ‘John from Cincinnati’, but I find myself really enjoying ‘Flight‘. The show features two seemingly non-mensa-like musicians from New Zealand who have moved to New York to make it big. As one would suspect … Continue reading
Clique-ity clack, or Ridin’ the Bozo bus
I was cool for about three minutes once when I lived in New York. Sadly that was over 30 years ago. I have a cool Keith Richards t-shirt and I know a few cool folks, but I’m about as cool … Continue reading

My favorite name to say out loud..
Gerard Depardieu. The trick is, you say it slowly, with nasal, and one syllable at a time. I thought of this because we saw Monsieur Depardieu in a stimulating calvacade of film last night at the Belcourt. The name of … Continue reading

What S-townMike said – Freda for the 19th
The political fortunes for those of us in the 19th district of Davidson County are going, in the words of the fabled cliche, from famine to feast. We’ve been under-represented by our current city councilman Ludye ‘cris’ Wallace for the … Continue reading

Here’s your damn report card Mr. President
Bang: U.S. troops engage with Iraqi POLICE in gun battle after police lieutenant arrested for leading a cell dedicated to bombing American troops. Mr. President, and all you, ‘we can’t leave because it would descend into chaos’ folks, do you … Continue reading

A deeper understanding of the game…
My I’m just grumpy this morning because my stomach is recovering from the ingestion of this barium concrete solution taken in order that the ‘cat’ scan folks can better view my inside-parts, .which fits in with my policy of celebrating … Continue reading
Oh wondrous nature, or why I’m personally going green..
oh wondrous nature, with beauty so serene, I lift my head up to the sky, and sneezefor 12 freaking minutes in-a-row because of the g’damned histamines exploding in the air like so many leftover fireworks. CHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sista goes to college..
And has a VERY special message for her old junior high school counselor. I”m sure that most of us had positive encouragement from teachers and counselors back in junior high and high school, but if you are like me, you … Continue reading

Bud Selig is a dipwad
For those of you who don’t know (and maybe don’t care), Selig is the commissioner of baseball. He’s been presiding over my favorite sport for many years, including the grand steroid era, when Barry Bonds hat-size grew and Mark McGwire’s … Continue reading

Say it ain’t so, Dan Patrick
I don’t get to listen to radio much at work. Streaming internet not allowed and the reception inside our concrete fortress encasing all of us at the Cordell Hull who don’t have real jobs is spotty (that’s being kind). But, … Continue reading
If you asked the Attorney General how to spell his name, he’d probably answer Gonzaliz
According to this Washington Post story*, when Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was asked during the hearings regarding the renewal of the Patriot Act if he knew of any violation of civil or legal rights of the citizenry. “There has not … Continue reading
Maybe THEN I’d read the Davidson A.M. section…
I have god-awful handwriting. My notes should be put on powerpoint slides and presented as mandatory lesson plans for third grade teachers to show their charges what NOT to do when it comes to putting pencil or pen to paper. … Continue reading
