What If You Held An Election and Nobody Came?

I’m not the most avid reader of the Smart City blog, but my friend and brother Leftwing Cracker sent me a piece of theirs today that raised my eyebrows— And didn’t all at the same time.
From Smart City:
*Willie W. Herenton 16.38 percent
* Carol Chumney 13.35 percent
* Herman Morris 8.21 percent
Those abysmal numbers are the turnout [...]

Hope Runner

As many as you know may already know, our dear friend and star marathon runner Stacy is raising funds to support the Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure on October 20, 2007 in the fight against breast cancer. She will be participating in this race as well (go girl!).
According to the information she provided, [...]

Better Not Pout, I’m Telling You Why…

The Behavior Detection Officers are now being deployed inside airports.  It is their job to study the facial expressions of people at the airport to discern the people who are stifling their anger over long wait times and lost luggage from the people who are stifling their anger before launching a terrorist attack.
The TSA hopes [...]

Also On This Day…

I just saw Dabney’s “This Day In History” post over at Confessions of a West Tennessee Liberal.  There was one thing she forgot on her list of things that happened on August 14.
Dabney and I have pretty much a foolproof way of remembering one another’s birthdays— We were born not only the same day, but [...]

Is Big Brother 8 Being Rigged?

I thought there was something suspicious when I watched it last night.
CBS added a “twist” to Big Brother this year. Eric is “America’s Player”— At 99 cents apiece, you can send text messages to assign him certain tasks over the course of the game. Some of those tasks, particularly over the last couple [...]

What the Hell Kind of Place IS Jackson, TN?

I don’t think anyone, herself included, would think Miranda Greer is the most feminine-looking person in the world.  She is a twenty-four year-old lesbian living in Halls, TN.
But there is a question as to just how severely she should be beaten for it.
While I’m certain there are many schools of thought on it, you can place [...]

NO!! Not “that” George…

The last two weeks have been hell and I can’t help but to agree with this old man. His rants are almost comforting…

Tracking the Senate – July Edition

I’ve been talking with some of my friends lately about what the Senate is going to look like after the 2008 Elections.  Each one is given a score from 1 to 10 based on how likely it is that the Democrats will come out on top.

Minnesota – Norm Coleman is out.  He was the beneficiary [...]

Linkville.

Random stuff rattling around in the tubes (Which are indeed not like a truck).

Sara Lee bread recall.  You know, just in case you’re one of those picky eaters that prefers your morning toast and honey without metal shavings.  Thankfully, the bread I buy from them is the one variety not affected.
As usual, when Memphis merits [...]

The Lady and the GOP Tramp

I think Ms. Edwards could have been more assertive, but she did well overall. Coulter’s face towards the end: priceless.

Thanks. Really. I Mean It.

It’s been a while since the last update here at Casa de Freedonian. I’ve had a few other writing projects going on. And as much as I love blogging, the time involved in reading the blogs of my brilliant friends, researching, and writing something of my own takes substantial time.
When I’m blogging at my peak, [...]

59 People Who Deserve To Be Primaried.

Thanks, as always, to Blogfather Cracker.
Thankfully, I look down this list and do not see Congressman Steve Cohen on here. I do see a few of Tennessee’s own. John Tanner, Jim Cooper, and Lincoln Davis— You deserve to be primaried.
If you lack the political courage to bring an end to a war with [...]

Oh Mickey you are so fine!

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this story.
The short of it: Hamas tried to use a Mickey Mouse identical looking cartoon to promote anti-Israel and anti-American propaganda to their children…
All judgment aside, I just wonder one thing: Where is the logic in promoting Anti-American message by plagiarizing an American Icon (Mickey [...]
