Gov. Bredesen: Herod, Judas or Pilate?

Blue Collar Muse @ May 12, 2008 # 3 Comments

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 […]

Can an American Really Hate His Country …

Blue Collar Muse @ April 27, 2008 # One Comment

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 […]

Blue Collar Muse @ April 21, 2008 # One Comment

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 […]

Maine School Turns Flag Desecration into Art …

Blue Collar Muse @ April 17, 2008 # 5 Comments

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, […]

April 15th: Voluntary Clinton Surtax Day

Blue Collar Muse @ April 15, 2008 # No Comment Yet

In honor of today being April 15th, likely the most reviled day on the calendar (after January 1st and the necessity to make all those fleeting resolutions - not to mention the hangover) , I thought to direct you to an excellent piece on taxes by a friend of mine, Doug Bandow.
Doug notes in his […]

Pledge Allegiance? Not if You’re a Democrat …

Blue Collar Muse @ April 7, 2008 # 4 Comments

It’s incredibly disheartening to read. But it is anything but surprising. Skip, at Granite Grok, reports that during a recent confab of Democrats a brief lull ensued after all the exciting stuff wound down. After wondering aloud what Mrs. Clinton must have felt while dodging sniper bullets in Bosnia and after […]

Lynn Lang, TN’s State Board of Education and What We are Teaching Our Kids

Blue Collar Muse @ April 4, 2008 # 12 Comments

Education is supposed to be about learning and knowledge. Today’s education seems to be about far more than that, however. From participating in the “Who gets a seat in the Lifeboat?” scenario to curricula dealing with homosexuality, moral issues are taking up more time in schools. Unfortunately, educators often come down on […]

Blue Collar Muse @ March 28, 2008 # 4 Comments

Ramesh Ponnuru posted up a nice Washington Post discussion group on Wednesday concerning the flap over Chelsea Clinton’s response to a question from a Butler University student.

At a campaign event for her mother at Butler University, Chelsea Clinton was reportedly asked by student Evan Strange whether her mother’s credibility had suffered during the Lewinsky scandal. […]

Soft Core, Sexual Assault Protected by Court

Blue Collar Muse @ March 27, 2008 # 5 Comments

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? […]
