KnoxViews » Tennessee smart doctor sets record straight!
Posted 58 minutes ago
It's not just Tennessee rednecks who voted McCain. It's smart people like this local forensic psychologist. And she wants to make it clear so much that she's following the good advice of Ted Nugent, who supposedly stated regarding Californians: ... You should be pounding the desk with your fist, raising hell, and take this beautiful state back from the pimps, ... [Link]

Hear ItFrom.Us » Where Are We Going? And Why Am I in This Handbasket?
Posted 93 minutes ago
At last night’s Knoxville Overground Awards I was talking to Jen, who I’d previously known only through Twitter, about how closely we are aligned in our political philosophy. As I told her, I think there may be only two of us left, so it probably isn’t safe or wise for us to be in the same place at the same ... [Link]

MORE ON BANKRUPTCY AND THE DETROIT THREE: But the other half of an argument against a bailout is that GM (or the others, but I’ll use GM to illustrate the point) presents an unusually good case for Chapter 11 reorganization. GM is, in fact, the textbook example of what Chapter 11 was invented to do. GM almost certainly will not ... [Link]

Mommy Moments » THE RECYCLED BOX GIFT TOWER
Posted 3 hours ago
A couple months ago I decided to not wrap gifts Traditionally any longer.  I started using Reusable shopping bags (canvas or other) or recycled paper and items from the house.  Not because I'm too cheap or lazy to wrap gifts... Although secretly I despise having to wrap them... But that isn't the reason.  I just felt like it was smarter ... [Link]

Every morning after the children are on their way to their respective schools, I walk around the house cleaning up the evidence of the morning chaos. Most of my time is spent putting the bathroom back together. Twice as many toothbrushes as there are people in the family are scattered all over the counter top and floor. Multiple strings of ...

You’ve probably already seen this essay in the Jewish Chronicle, but as it contains this delightful snippet I simply have to (re)iterate its existence: Garfinkel is bold in his pronouncements against the school of archeologists skeptical that the Bible left behind a chronologically reliable physical trail of evidence.  He argued that the Elah Fortress, located in the Elah Valley near ...

Arizona: She won't be Attorney General, but it looks like she will be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. As such, we shouldn't expect Governor Janet Napolitano to challenge John W. McCain in 2010. Senate's loss, but DHS will be in great hands ... [Link]
