Legacy. Governors and Presidents worry, “What will my legacy be?”. It’s a fancy-shmancy way of asking, “What exactly will they say I DID for 8 years?”
Tennessee’s Governor, Phil Bredesen, is no different. Not up for election, and a Lame Duck, it appears he’s started thinking about his. Just before Christmas Bredesen […]

If there is one thing that the Left never tires of doing, it is trumpeting to anyone who will listen that they really are patriotic; they really do support the troops; they really do care about the country; and, in the latest election cycle, they really are Christians and want to court the votes of […]

Susan Crane, the University of Maine at Farmington student who conceived of a social conscience art project which involved putting American flags on the floor in a high traffic hallway of the University’s Student Center and seeing who walked on them and who avoided them, says it was hard to do and was difficult to […]

I’m not sure where I was but I must have been doing something VERY important. Otherwise I’m pretty sure I would remember where I was when higher education became synonymous with ignorance. Kind of like remembering where you were when we landed on the moon; when Challenger blew up and when Kennedy, Kennedy, […]

It’s amazing the things I never think about on my own. My brains stays pretty busy with work, blogging, family, church and all the normal things that fill up an average life. Every now and then I appreciate being jolted out of my reverie. That’s what happened this morning when I read […]

Skip, at Granite Grok, reports that during a recent confab of Democrats a brief lull ensued after all the exciting stuff wound down.

H/T to Gateway Pundit for posting the pic and the story on this. Absolut Vodka ran this ad in Mexico only. However, the US-Mexico border being so porous and there being no one left in Mexico anyway, the ad also promptly made its way north. I very seldom partake of alcohol, and […]

This is one of those stories that makes me immediately think of Glenn Beck and his advice that one wrap their head in duct tape before exposure as it will make the pieces of one’s head easier to find after it explodes. What’s the deal with Oklahoma? First Paul Jacob and now this? […]

Cross-Posted from The Tennessee ConserVOLiance.
[UPDATE 3/5/8 @ 13:10] - I spoke to AG Cooper’s office a few moments ago and was informed that General Cooper is not in town today. The lady I spoke with helpfully gave me General Cooper’s email address and connected me to his voice mail. I’ve left him a […]
