It’s for the chirren, right, or Adopting bigotry as a state standard

I suspect there are many too-old-to-be-cute baby children who would like to be adopted in our fair state. I’m also guessing that many people who would like to adopt some of these kids are not married in the traditional legal sense. Shelby County Democrat John Berry is co-sponsoring a bill* with a Shelby [...]

Major Republican candidates pray NOT to get Pat Robertson’s endorsement..

A few months ago when Rudy G looked like a front-runner, alleged man of the cloth, 700 Club Host, Pat Robertson ran to the front of the pack, jogged with Rudy and apparently admired his leadership, despite his one-two-three wives and his not-so-subtle pro-choice sentiments.
Now that Rudy’s tanked faster than a sushi dinner at a [...]

Dumb-ass Campaign Strategists Hall of Fame

Would Rudy Giuliani’s and Fred Thompson’s campaign managers and strategists PLEASE step forward…you too, Rudy and Fred. You both belong in here.
Come late, leave early..here’s your hat, Fred. G’bye Rudy ‘but, but 9/11!, G…thanks for playing.

Wired up..(for the King)

If you’re not watching ‘The Wire‘ or not renting or buying ‘The Wire’ (if you don’t HBO), you are missing the great Charles Dickens novel of the 20th and 21st centuries (without all the boring parts). You are missing the avenging angel aka Omar, who just might be the most interesting character in television [...]

‘Ohhhhh Robbb’, ‘Larrrrrrrrrry’, ‘Now Bob’

Dick Van Dyke, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bob Newhart show…Mary Tyler Moore mastered the quavering voice with the choreography of the ballet, Cheryl Hines conjured up the slow burn of the Honeymooner’s Audry Meadows, when she managed to turn the name of her co-star into a synonym for utter disgust, and finally, in a world where [...]

No deje la puerta golpearle en la salida, Pedro

Don’t go away mad, Pedro…just go away.
Former Metro School Director, Pedro Garcia, has finally BEEN schooled, and is leaving Nashville, and probably heading west. Garcia made little effort to ingratiate himself with teachers and most school leaders. His dictatorial management style and his penchant for punishing principals who didn’t toe the line of [...]

Rolling the Thompson gunner out of the race..

Ok..I’ll admit right now that my Nostradom-ic track record is about as spiffy as Jeanne Dixon’s later years (’100 Oaks will collapse..girls with pierced ears will all get cancer, etc. etc.), but I’m here to tell you that Fred T, our native big son will finish out of the running in S. Carolina (no win, [...]

Rook to Bat-shit 7, or, Death of the Fischer king

When I was a kid we didn’t have a TV in the house. I did a lot of reading (every Spiderman comic book, among other middle-to-low brow stuff) which occasionally included the shiny set of Encyclopedia Americana (we couldn’t afford the Britannica model). One of my favorite items featured Bobby Fischer, [...]

Once a month…

I’m wrong.  Just wanted to acknowledge my mistake and move on…you know, like professional athletes and politicians do..say I was wrong and ask the nation to move along.

Damn, I had January 4th*…

And, in other Titan news, Pacman allegedly punched a lawyer at a strip club down in way-too-hot ‘lanta on January 3rd. Happyhappy New Year. Good to see the Pac is still making it rain…

Ciao Chow

Goodbye to Mr. Norm ‘Lindale off tackle’ Chow (the offensive Offensive Coordinator of the Titans*). Goodbye to some of the most predictable play-calling this side of the CYO league. Just please, please, don’t bring Les Steckle back….
*In all fairness, Norm didn’t have a lotta clay to mold with this bunch.

He’ll give you something to cry about…Obama-arama

All indications show that Barack is putting a whupping on Hillary today (uh, that is primary-wise, nor corporeally).    I know, I know, it’s not a total sprint, but it’s  not a marathon  either.  Primary season is a series of sprints, each eliminating the Bidens of this world.   Early returns tell me this: America is weary [...]

SEC Rules, the Big 10 drools..

‘Our’ football factory schools are better than their football factories (with the exception of the school I root for which actually graduates a majority of its athletes). Congrats to LSU and to Les Miles (LSU coach) for staying put and not pulling a Saban or a Petrino. I’m happy for the folks [...]

Veni, Vidi, Wiki (I came, I saw, I made up some shit…)

You may have heard by now that the Wikipedia folks are revving up their own search engine. I’m guessing the Seigenthaler family isn’t all that excited (was John Seigenthaler’s grand-dad REALLY John Wilkes Booth?), but rest assured that everyone will soon know who the coolest person residing on 5th Avenue whose name doesn’t [...]

Take this for granite..Huckabee is up-a-tree

Re the goings on in the Granite state tomorrow: McCain will reign. Barack’s a lock. Rounding up evangelicals in New Hampshire is as fruitful as calling for a reunion of Black Panthers now residing in Iowa (which is why Huck-a-bee will be a distant three).
