Chuck Norris turned 70 this week

But he can still fight a bear to a draw, never forget that.

Mongo, you got NOTHING on this guy!

An interesting campaign video from Chicago, where this gentleman plans to run against Cook County Board President Todd Stroger. Stay until the end, it's worth it, I promise. Hat tip to Brittney G!

Newscoma saves the day!

First, RE the last post, things are on schedule, but no, we're NOT getting married, not yet.

Now, the reason I'm here. I was getting melancholy about the fact this is my 16th Mother's Day without my mother, when I went to our beloved 'Coma's site and found THIS.

Enjoy!

Oh No You Didn't

Oh yes she did.

A Command Decision has been made!

Since we are in a NEW ERA OF GOOD FEELING with the ascent of Van Turner to the SCDP Chairmanship, I have made a decision: if ANONYMOUS commenting is good enough for Kleinheider and Woods, it's good enough for me.

Anonymous commenting STAYS.

The floor is now open for innuendo and hearsay!

Elect John McCain and we'll BEAT those filthy Huns, by Jiminy!

Hat tip to Atrios, who is as baffled by this idiocy as I am...

William Howard Hobbs has outdone himself, and Newscoma makes him pay

Bill Hobbs, flack-in-chief for the Tennessee Republican Party, sent out this press release essentially saying that if you support Obama, you hate Jews.  

I don't have to tell you how repulsive and inaccurate this is, but our beloved Newscoma beats him like a red-headed stepchild in this missive.  It's too exquisite for excerpting, so just read the whole wonderful smackdown, which she does as a TENNESSEAN.

Goddesshood becomes her!

The Obamanites are coming!

As reported by Ms. Gold and Mr. Braisted, the junior Senator from Illinois is opening a Memphis Headquarters this Friday in Eastgate Shopping Center. Good for them; with all that money, they know where to show up for Democratic votes. Too bad for them, Edwards is already working behind the scenes, BWAHAHAHAHA!

UPDATE: The opening is TONIGHT at 7 PM, per the Daily News!

You know, I would have thought this town to be an HRC hotbed, but I would be wrong. Of all the people listed on the Clinton steering committee for Tennessee, only THREE are from the largest Democratic city not only in the state, but the WHOLE SOUTH: County Commissioner and former SCDP chair Sidney Chism, my buddy (and herself a former SCDP chair) Gale Jones Carson, and my own state Senator, Beverly Marrero.

This town was a Clinton hotbed in the 90s, WTH? Is it due to the natural hatred of the Bluff City by those who live east of the Tennessee River? Is it because of that goofy picture of HRC the Flyer put up with that article? Who knows? I DO find it odd, though.

OK, what's wrong with this picture????

We Cordially Invite You
To a Reception and Fundraiser

In Honor of
Antonio ‘2 Shay’ Parkinson
For
Memphis City Council District 1
“Embracing American Value”

This is the first part of a fundraiser letter for Mr. Parkinson, who has decided to Embrace American Value by flying.......

The FRENCH Flag?????? Has Frayser seceded? Does this mean there are cafes and bistros up and down Watkins? Will I see women in berets smoking Gauloises on Overton Crossing? Will Dillon's serve crepes? OK, then.....

H/T to JW and Joe Young...

Ahem, one hopes Mr. Parkinson will take this in the spirit of humor with which it is offered, as your Cracker resides in District 5 and has a candidate already in that District (HI, Jim!) and has no quarrel with any candidate in District 1.
