UFO House For Sale


Go bid. It’s hard to find anyone around here who doesn’t allege to have known someone who lived there. I think that’s probably what they were told to think, during the abduction.

Back to the Salt Mines


… but only after a pleasant weekend, away from work. Truth be told, Saturday kind of sucked for me. It was a beautiful day, and I felt too crappy to get out, do anything, or enjoy it. I blame the preceding Monday through Friday. I saved alll my outings and chores for Sunday. [...]

Attorney-Gate Chattanooga Connection


Interesting comment in the previous thread from Thomas at NewsRack Blog. It appears that Chattanooga based IT firm, SmarTech may run some of the e-mail servers that were used to skate presidential record-keeping requirements on some communications related to Attorney-Gate.

Yes, he finally came off his position that embryos must be burned in the incinerators to keep the scientists from learning anything useful from them… I guess we can say that in his [...]

Election Time - Endorsements


What Joe Public has done here is rather admirable, both in style and substance. In the same vein, I offer my own suggestions. Just as Joe does, I urge you to make your own informed decisions after due reflection, and by all means - go vote. I will not offer predictions, [...]

Ford on the NJ decision


I agree with kos - wholeheartedly.
I’ll vote for Ford, because Corker is anti-gay & anti-family, too plus a lot of other bad things that Ford isn’t. But I want to be on record that this is a vote against Corker, and not for Ford and his sense of entitlement.

Harold Ford, Jr. - I’d like to make a request.


Ok, a front page piece in the Chattanooga TFP today (yesterday when this will be posted) gives a surprisingly fair reading of Corker’s attacks on Ford as a liberal, and Ford’s actual position. Great. But, deep inside, where the column is continued on page A6, is a quote from Ford that has rather [...]
