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 […]

I recently wrote a post titled ‘Democrats Disenfranchise Tennessee Voters’. It told of a group of 6 Democrats in the Tennessee House preventing a resolution already passed by the Tennessee Senate from coming out of committee to be voted on by the House with the possibility the issue could make it to the ballot […]

As part of my online activism, I participate in a number of forums. One of the most recent is my posting some of my material at Newsvine.com. There are a number of people I know that don’t care for Newsvine as it seems to hold the same opinion so many other social networking […]

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 […]

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? […]

One wonders what is really going on in the inner circles of Democratic politics these days. Half of the Left’s talking heads argue Florida and Michigan should revote and the other half disagree.
I’m a little confused as to what all the ruckus is about. Isn’t this a simple internal Democratic issue that could […]

In discussions of Constitutional interpretation, an interesting concept has turned up in the last few years in the context of a why a position is or is not Constitutional. It’s stated in some form of the idea that “the Constitution is a living document”.
The idea has appeal for a variety of reasons. […]

Peter, a recent commenter here at Blue Collar Muse on the topic of Sub-Prime mortgages and the bail out of those who tossed the dice in that game and lost, got me thinking about the issue again.
My principle break with his position is that I do not believe, as he does,
The government is largely responsible […]
