From Young Turks on Air America radio:Well, you know, it (Iraq) has been a disaster. I think the administration and the present administration and even the neo-cons who orchestrated the invasion of Iraq, all look back on it and know it was a very great tragedy.

There has always been lots of discussion around the economic surge in Nashville and why Memphis has been mired in stagnation. Many people blame "white flight"...the movement of the upper middle class east of the city, to Germantown and Collierville and south to Desoto County.But in reality Memphis voters, whoever they are, have held the future of Memphis in their hands for years....and they have

Garrison Keillor writes a surprising article about non-Christians, who he says need to "get a life" or "work with it" if they are going to live in America, and if Christmas bothers them.This is an issue I've considered many times, and I actually brought it up recently to a friend of mine. I was at some function, which escapes me at the moment, and pretty much every prominent Memphian was there.

A great blogger named Kelly Gorski introduced me to an absolutely incredible piece of writing called "Don't Think of an Elephant" by George Lakoff.Give yourself some time to read it...its 36 pages in pdf. It concerns Republican strategies, social theory and framing language (much like this book recommendation I posted previously.Here is the link: Don't Think Like An Elephant. (I probably

Seems that the Rev. Joel Hunter has proven to be a man of principle. Doesn't mean he isn't heavily in favor of outlawing abortion and queers...but...but...wait for it....For this Christian evangelical pastor, there are actually MORE things on a Christ-centered agenda than JUST abortion and queers!Well, of course, the bad news is that Pat Robertson and the rest of the Christian Coalition couldn't

Who is surprised by this?A 39 year-old self-described conservative, who claims to "worship" Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and Michelle Malkin, mailed "white powder" to several celebrities and broadcast journalists.His victims included Keith Olberman, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, and even NANCY PELOSI, about to be third in line for the Presidency.What is "terrorism"?

How I missed this, I'll never know. Paragon shares this video of Purity Balls, and Feministing adds that this gets federal funding.Here's what the clip shows: Girls apparently between 2 and 17 go to this Prom-of-sorts with their fathers. It says they get dressed up and some arrive in limos. There's a voice-over by James Dobson (Ted Haggard's "scared straight" coach.) He tells the story of a 17

One of the greatest broadcast journalists in the brief history of television has died today.As time passes, more and more of the people I grew up with are passing away. That is, of course, an obvious statement. But it does cause me to be very sentimental.And it also causes me to question....Who can replace Ed Bradley and Mike Wallace and Andy Rooney?

Here's the latest on Pastor Ted Haggard from Salon.I've avoided this issue, for no other reason than its on every blog on the internet. Also, I knew the real story would be how the fundamentalists spun things. Would they realize that homosexuality is a genetic reality? That the reason homosexual clergy in homo-unfriendly denominations are a reality is that they were once young men who felt they

Salon had a humorous article today, about an African-American professional helping her aged mother with her ballot. On the ballot was an initiative concerning marijuana.In short, her mom said, "Jesus didn't smoke no weeds"....which was all she needed to know. Thus, her vote was no.Well, I happen to believe that legalizing AT LEAST marijuana is one of the most important steps we could take in 1)

The War Room reports on a troubling communication from Ken Mehlman to his flock. I've already reported satirically on my opinion of voting machines, and this seems to reinforce my fears.Here's the story: Taegan Goddard reports the following:The RNC just sent out detailed talking points about how unreliable exit polls have been over the past several elections. The key arguments are that exits

CNN reports that about 14 people are a part of this deal. Its pretty simple. The "good guys" confiscate the drugs on the taxpayers dime. Then the "good guys" sell the stuff out the back door.SOME of the stuff they sell could get confiscated three or four times....thus sold three or four times. Its genius. And the folks getting arrested during all this are eating meals on the Virginia

When Keith gets real like this, I'm amazed at how genuinely shocked and nervous I feel...for him...for myself...for America.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but during the last presidential election I began to get suspicious about the Diebold voting machines and how easy it would be to rig an election.Now there's another angle on this.

Here's a good story in Salon about Harold Ford appealing to church folks.The discussion is interesting, and I want to respond to two posts here. The first is extremely negative to the South:Ford is suddenly down after the targeting by two racist ads, including one in which his skin is colorized darker and a radio ad where references are repeatedly made to him being "black."

Here's another big winner for the Bush administration.Let me get this straight. With all the research about Stem Cell Research, the Administration, thanks to their fundamentalist lobby, says "don't bother me with the research".But apparently the "abundance" of evidence that boys and girls need to be seperated is much more fundy-friendly.

This book is on my recommended list. I got to thinking about it due to the column I just linked to by Fred Reed. In it, Fred said this:So many of the Jewish crimes popular on the email circuit don’t stand up to examination. For instance, I hear repeatedly that during Vietnam America won in the field but that Jews stabbed Our Boys in the back by means of the anti-war movement, thus seeking to

I don't know much about Fred Reed. But I did really enjoy this column about his response to people who want him to blame the Jews instead of referring to "Hollywood and New York" cryptically. (Thanks to Sanity Inspector once again in intro'ing me.)The other day he quoted Reed, and I definitely disagreed, however. It was a bit of a rant about why women shouldn't be school administrators.

Good articles and discussions on this topic at Slate's Broadsheet today.After reading all the comments, I can't really decide where I stand on this one, except that girls shouldn't wear this stuff. Problem is, how do you prevent that, when so many of the college-age and young adult women wear them?I figure this is causing some terrible brawls between 15 year-olds and their mothers this week.One

Both the game above and this link were located through David MetzMarc Perkel asks the following....What's the difference between the war in Iraq and the war in Vietnam?Answer: George W. Bush had a plan to get out of Vietnam!

Line Rider is a great little game that is quite addictive.

How Postmodernism Saved My Faith by Crystal L. DowningI have a crush on the author, and I don't even know how old she is.This professor of English at Messiah College on the west coast has taken the difficult philosophy of Derrida and others and made it palatable.If you hear "Postmodernism" tossed about as the scourge of our day, this is the book you should read. Not that it will change your mind

Somehow in my travels this story escaped me.Certainly if you aren't a completely lop-sided Republican, Bill Clinton's sheer intellect should amaze you. But it shouldn't surprise you. Olbermann's courage to expose Fox and then to put Bush on the carpet almost brought tears to my eyes.Don't tell me that Keith doesn't leave the office now with more than a modicum of concern for his health and that

Tonight I was at a party with a number of bank managers in Atlanta. Karaoke was part of the fare, and I'll bet the folks who performed had no idea how close to home the music was for me.Consider these three offerings and their relation to me and my home Mississippi:Ode to Billy Joe - The famous Bobbie Gentry song was of course set in the Mississippi Delta and the Tallahatchie Bridge.Harper Valley

Two quick notes:Until the rules change, Memphis seems to be the worst of any airport for the "Quart-sized plastic bag" edict.I even went through LAX last week, and there was no Bag Police. But at MEM there's an actual person who must feast his/her eyes upon your baggie before you get to the machines.Gallon sized baggie? Oh my, that won't do at ALL. You'll either have to throw the shit away or

I enjoyed this discussion tonight in browsing through the political stuff.MSNBC Story(Sorry, I've got to do an HTML refresher to remember how to imbed the links.)Anyway....I love the comments from the hard right, who claim the "media is liberally biased because they don't report good news from Iraq".In this story a guy named Bob wrote the reporter to tell her he knew a bunch of good news. When

This is the worst time of year to pack for a long business trip.I'm flying from Memphis to Atlanta in the morning, and I won't be home until Sunday morning. The weather is forecast to range from 45 to 80 while I'm there! Who can pack for that?? Thank God I'm a man. I have no idea how the women do it with all y'all have to include.Adding to the madness is the requirement for business casual,

I suppose most blogs are like diets. 98% of the folks who start them don't get very far.Seems like anytime I search for good blog discussions, most of the links I find are well-intentioned bloggers who quit after four or five posts.Far be it for me to promise any more than that....but we'll see.Do people outside of the South say "far be it for me"? If not, perhaps I should translate my
