So when’s Channel 2 going to announce their new hire?

UPDATE: It’s official. Former highly-rated WTN morning talk show host Steve Gill is being added to the News 2 lineup to cover the political scene:

(Nashville – July 13, 2006) News 2 WKRN today announced that Nashville attorney and radio talk host Steve Gill has signed with the station to serve as WKRN’s chief Political Analyst. Gill will provide commentary and reports for the station’s newscasts.

“We’re thrilled Steve is joining us,” said Mike Sechrist, President and General Manager of WKRN. His knowledge of politics and issues both locally and statewide is unmatched.”

“I am very excited about becoming a part of the WKRN team,” Gill said. “With the station’s video journalists expanding the boundaries of local news, their emphasis on the emerging blogosphere and the aggressive approach to telling the important stories that affect our communities, WKRN is poised to dramatically shake up the local news business.”

And definitely shake up the Politburo WKRN has been financing for the last year and a half. Tear down that wall, Mr. Gill.

Did you know Hamas did not kidnap an Israeli soldier this week? Well, you’d be a fool to think so. Israel kidnapped him themselves probably. Bill Kristol’s got him whisked away in the back of a synagogue in some of that much ballyhooed Israeli-occupied territory in Washington, DC. With the help of the Project for a New American Century, they’re planning on stealing back the land they forcibly ejected their own settlers from and gave back to the Palestinian monsters in good will.

What were the left-wing crackpots in Management at Channel 2 thinking when they hired this crypto-nazi? When they said Doppler Radar picked up a Stormfront moving across the Mid-State area, this isn’t what I had in mind::

World War iii

Les Jones asks, “Have you noticed that war has broken out between Israel and Hamas over the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier?”

Yes, I did as a matter of fact. Lemme just give a friendly shout-out to Hamas. If you iced this kid, do me a favor and hide the body and deny involvement ’cause I’m really not ready for a World War.

If the kid dies, Israel will come back on you. Then Syria could get brought into it and then, well, it’s on. Things will be done that can’t be undone. The sick thing is that there are people who just can’t wait for something like this to happen.

Deny involvement? We’ll set aside that last part where those wily Jews are luring Hamas into attacking their territory and kidnapping soldiers and settlers. It’s real hard to deny involvement after you come out and taunt the Israeli government by saying:

Abu Mujahed, spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), said in a statement that Israel should stop wasting time if it wanted to resolve the crisis over the abduction of Corporal Gilad Shalit.
[...]
The spokesman did not say who was holding Shalit after Sunday’s raid by three militant factions an army post near the Gaza border. He set out three scenarios.

“Possibility one: the missing soldier, for one reason or another, is dead and maybe there is a morgue available for his body or maybe there is not,” Abu Mujahed said at a news conference.

“Possibility two is the soldier is still alive but is suffering a serious injury. Medication might be available or might not be available …. Possibility three is that he is fine but that a long time will pass (before he is released).”

Who is he kidding? The displaced, illiterate Jordanians that make up Fictional Palestine probably killed Gilad Shalit before their trembling goats knew they were gone. Otherwise, they would have already thrown up some video showing him alive, handcuffed and bound. The settlers were probably killed days ago and so was Shalit. Honestly, do we go to the zoo and expect to see the animals eating with utensils and minding their table manners?

Harder still when Hamas claims to be firing chemical warheads into Israeli territory:

A spokesman for gunmen in the Gaza Strip said they had fired a rocket tipped with a chemical warhead at Israel early today.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the claim by the spokesman from the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement.

The group had recently claimed to possess about 20 biological warheads for the makeshift rockets commonly fired from Gaza at Israeli towns.

“The al-Aqsa Brigades have fired one rocket with a chemical warhead” at southern Israel, Abu Qusai, a spokesman for the group, said in Gaza.

But perhaps I’m being unfair. To make it even and as a public service, I feel morally obligated to let everyone know that Channel 2 will be holding a special 4th of July celebration at the statue of Nathaniel Bedford Forrest off I-65 before they begin some fireworks of their own.

Keep it real, dog. Real racist.

UPDATE: CNN is reporting that an Israeli doctor has seen Shilat and has had the opportunity to treat him but that this “has not been independently confirmed”.

Who can be suspicious enough when the PRC spokesperson posits he’s either dead or dying (or maybe not)?

The American Spectator’s David Holmes posts today about harassing phone calls and death threats being made by way of the Huffin’glue Post and one of our own local numbnuts, Agent Orange over at “Democratic” Veteran:

I gleaned from ‘CIA BOOK of DIRTY TRICKS’ Don’t get mad, get EVEN.” Minutes later, at 2:19 p.m., “YvonneMoorhead” repeatedly pasted SatanLivesinUSA’s comments on that page and on another Huffington Post post. Elsewhere, in February, YvonneMoorhead had posted, “F*** em, they died for the greater Isreali [sic] goal of stealing more land by having its proxy America invade Iraq and next Iran.”[...]
After the contact information was posted on the Huffington Post, the harassing calls increased in frequency. Saturday afternoon Lonsdale received another call, “congratulating” him for “ruining our country.” In the early hours of Sunday morning, Van Odell received three calls, he told TAS, at 1:47 a.m., 1:48, and 1:50. A man calmly told him, “I want to know why you lied about John Kerry… Traitors must die. We will get you. You can’t get away with this.”

As James Taranto is fond of pointing out, John Kerry was in Vietnam for 120 days (and recommended himself for purple hearts after shooting kids in the back) and has yet to release his military records that he promised to over 500 days ago. Who knew a self-confessed war criminal wouldn’t keep his promise?
That’s the magical thing about Vietnam. Somehow only the people who brought their cameras and minders like Al Gore and John Kerry are “war heroes” and everybody else deserved to be spat on, kept from getting jobs upon returning from the war Donks drafted and shipped them to, and are now worthy of death threats – of which, Corporal Klinger over at Democratic Veteran still posts their home telephone numbers on his website and is no doubt happy to be the conduit for.

The Swift Boat Vets worked because they were telling the truth. I know, I know – it’s a novel concept. They banded together 30 years after John Kerry slandered them in the Congressional Record as being wanton murderers and built a career off of his lies by the clam chowder sucking camelotophiles of the People’s Republic of Massachusetts before trawling the funeral home parking lots for some easy squeezing and a big purse.

You want to attack them on the issues? Have at it. The election was about 20 months ago and most of us have gotten over it. But quit calling them up in the middle of the night to make death threats to their six year old grandkids. It’s the least that the Sgt. Secretaries and Private Pencils of the Office Depot Commandos can do before unfurling their Mission Accomplished banners over a defaced Afghanistan war veterans’ funeral plot this 4th of July.

/CHICKENHAWK!

The execution of Sedley Alley almost didn’t go off last night as expected:

Alley had been granted a last-minute stay by a federal judge just after 11:00 p.m. Tuesday night, just two hours before he was originally scheduled to be executed.
But the stay was quickly lifted by a panel from the same court.

Just because you’re wearing a long, flowing robe doesn’t mean you’re God, ok? The anti-death penalty agenda of an activist judge should not overrule all of the juries and judges before them. This is a bizarre machination of a rogue judiciary that likes to legislate from the bench what would never be passed in a state congress or by the voters. And worse, feel that no repercussions, like impeachment, will be coming down on them for their capricious behavior.

One down, one to go: (more…)

“The State called no witness and offered no countervailing proof, expert or otherwise,” Campbell’s order continued.

With the wave of his hand, as if to thwart the Will of God and the Law of Man….stop me if you’ve heard this before.…a Clinton appointed, former Al Gore counsel, Federal District Court Judge halted the slated execution of serial killer Paul Dennis Reid because the State of Tennessee did not try to prove a negative that doesn’t exist. Hours before the Execution.

Why does the State need to keep winning a case that was already won???

Just for future reference, if a killer’s mental capacity is in that dire need of re-evaluation – why wasn’t it explored before the trial? During the trial? Or during the several years after the trial? Why mere hours before the execution after the friends and family members have gathered AGAIN to finally see justice be served? And subverted, again.

Isn’t that a cruel and unusual punishment predicated on nothing more than judicial showmanship?

At issue is the mental capacity of a man who has only been convicted of killing 7 fast-food workers. He’s killed more. He’s only been convicted of 7. He was under investigation for the murders of 7 other fast food workers at a Palatine, Illinois chicken joint.

What makes a man crazy? (more…)

An amusing echo swirled around the narrow bowl of the NitWittery yesterday. Seems some people think the word “liberal” is a pejorative. In fact, we must never use the word “liberal” anymore – it’s gotten that radioactive!

Iyt’s offical. With Ann Coulter out on the couch circuit whoring her book, I’ve decided that “’iberal” is poison. No good can come of its usage in today’s public political discourse (such as it is). It is time to wrap the term in anchor chains and roll it overboard.

It is time, fellow liberals, to blow up the clown.

Provided, of course, that you realize that you are the clown.

The term was once meant to embody a mindset of open thinking, tolerance and overall optomism at the importance of good intentions and human kindness to change the world. Now, within the current sociopolitical universe, “liberal”has become everything unattractive about humans, Americans in particular.

Liberal has come to mean, among other things, entitled, impractical, socialist, morally relativistic, whiney, self-serving, selfish, exclusionary, insufferably holier-than-thou, cowardly and anti-”American.”

Liberals want everything for free. Liberals want to work less for more benefits, be provided free medical care for life and fiull every job with a less-qualified but more derserving-du-to-a-history-of-marginalization applicant. Liberals do not hold people and ideas to any solid standard of judgement. Liberalism is the soft underbelly of a democratic society that can only exist because of hard-shelled conservatives who are willing to take the kidney punches. Liberals hate God.

So let’s lose “liberal” and cast a wider net. Let’s call ourselves Progressive.

Yep. Sounds like you know some liberals. But this is a terrific Kerryworthy contortion. An admission/non-admission. Acknowledging that you have a problem without addressing what the true problem is.

This was hardly some sweet, eureka! moment, epiphany. As David Horowitz noted back in 1997:

Of all the misnomers of our political vocabulary, “progressive” is the most abusive and the most abused. “Progressive” is the accepted term for the political left today, just as it was 50 years ago, when it was used as a self-description by Communists and fellow-travelers who sought its protective cover even as they supported the most oppressive regimes in human history. In the later years of the Cold War, it was the term of choice for liberals as well, who thought that the Soviet system was “converging” with Reagan’s America, just before the Communist fall.

One of the more interesting characteristics of progressives is the way they seem to learn nothing from their experience, confounding the very idea of progress as a process of escaping from the myths of the past and acquiring knowledge. Today, self-styled “progressives” can be found supporting economic redistribution and state-sponsored racial discrimination, or memorializing the death anniversaries of totalitarian legends like Che Guevara, just as though the history of the last 50 years had never taken place.

In keep with today’s lavatorial laughtrack:

More than 50 toilet cleaners will be promoted to “restroom specialist” upon completing the three-day pilot course taught by Japanese experts in the latest toilet technology, The Straits Times reported.
[…]
“Cleaners have low morale and low skills,” the paper quoted Jack Sim, the World Toilet College’s founder, as saying. “We want to professionalize them and teach them to be proud of their jobs.”

Whether you’re a toilet cleaner or a restroom specialist. Be you a liberal or a progressive. You’re still doing a crap job no matter what you call it.

(Prisyadka! To the Head NiTwit)

Regardless of who Gov. “Dollar” Phil Bredesen takes on in the Tennessee gubernatorial race or if he spies himself a national ticket, he’s finally got his very own Willie Horton. Indeed, Coleridge himself couldn’t have scripted a heavier buzzard to hang around his neck when a career criminal and illegal immigrant from Mexico killed two people with his 5th DUI earlier this month:

Federal and local authorities are trying to figure out how an illegal immigrant from Mexico managed to avoid deportation despite being arrested more than a dozen times in the past five years, agency officials said Thursday.

Come now, it’s not that hard to figure out.

Gustavo Reyes Garcia, 28, has accumulated dozens of criminal charges and been arrested 14 times in Nashville without being flagged by federal authorities for being in the country illegally.

He caught their attention after he was accused of killing two people on June 8. It was his 15th arrest.
[...]
Garcia’s past charges include four DUI arrests, evading arrest, and two separate incidents in which he was accused of leaving the scene of an accident where there was bodily injury.

Let’s see what the Governor had to say two months ago on the subject of illegal immigrants:

“I don’t think it’s appropriate for the state or we ought to be spending a lot of our money having the Highway Patrol expanded to go out and look for illegal immigrants or something.”

Sean and Donna Wilson’s lives were not an appropriate expenditure of state funds according to Governor Gazpacho. That money should have been used on free TennCare for illegals, right?

They died for your sins, Governor.

Here’s what Bredesen’s successor, Mayor “Brokeback Bill” Purcell’s Chief of Police had to say about the problem 2 years ago in a typical example of local fluff called “Immigration enforcement not role for police, Serpas says “:

Question: You have said you steadfastly oppose closer cooperation between the police and immigration officials. Why?

Serpas: It’s foolish to think that this country’s immigration problems are going to be settled on the backs of local police officers. Those who have a different point of view? I welcome it. But I also welcome them to petition government to better fund INS so INS can do its job better.

That’s what you call, passing the peso, folks. A Chief who refuses to enforce a law. If you catch a man with counterfeit money is it not your job because that’s what the Secret Service does?

Don’t confuse that stain on your oaffish potbelly with chili rojo or pit BBQ sauce, lawdog – their blood is on your hands too. Although with a 61% increase in the murder rate last year, it is possible you could have confused their blood with all of the others.

What if your officers encounter someone here illegally in the course of their routine police work? Would you be in favor of turning those names over to immigration?

Serpas: And if one of the things on the list they’ve done wrong is being an illegal immigrant? I’m sure we turn that over. Don’t we call … (USCIS) and tell them?

Aaron (Police Spokesperson): No. But if people are arrested and charged with violent offenses, those types of persons are likely to involve some discussions or interventions with the immigration service.

And we should expect no less from a man who has ingratiated himself with illegals so much since then that three months ago they had the fucking nerve felt comfortable enough to ask him to BAN any illegal from being arrested for identity theft:

The recent arrest of a Latina murder victim’s boyfriend on charges of having false identification documents raised tensions between police and Nashville’s growing Hispanic community.

Rudy Aguilar was arrested for having false identification documents after calling police to report the murder of his girlfriend and 3-year-old daughter, authorities said. Prosecutors ultimately decided against filing charges, but Aguilar spent more than a week in jail.

Enacting a formal policy would prevent such arrests from happening as well as improve relations, Cunza said.

Really? Is that the important issue at hand or should the Hispano-hack’s focus have been on the murder of Aguilar’s girlfriend and three year old daughter who in all likelihood was killed by another illegal who roams free today under the blanket of de facto amnesty that the Nashville Hispanic Chamber of Commerce champions? Hiding under a cloak of cultural complicity until he kills again. Priorities, I guess.

Sadly, it’s going to take a lot more innocent dead people at the drunken steering wheels and strangling hands of our undocumented-Americans before the “don’t change coyotes in midstream” stewards of the state feel politically threatened enough to tell them to GTFO.

Faster than you can say Roscoe P. Coltrane, negative Southern stereotypes come alive as University of Tennessee walk-on QB Jim Bob Cooter was arrested for DUI last night:

Although the school did not release details of the rules violation, police arrested Cooter Saturday at 3:25 a.m. and charged him with DUI after he failed a field sobriety test. Cooter had been observed near the UT campus driving the wrong way and for failure to stop at a stop sign before police pulled him over.

According to police, a female passenger in the car with Cooter had an open container and was charged with underage consumption.

Cooter, who gained increasing popularity among the fans for his prototypical southern name, was expected to play a reserve role this season and be a scout team quarterback.

Prototypical? I dunno about that. Stereotypical? Definitely.

All we needed was for him to be found with his sister in the backseat of a ’82 Trans Am on blocks while simultaneously babymaking him a new nephew/son and our Unholy Hillbilly Triumvirate would be complete.

It gets slightly worse:

According to a report from the University of Tennessee Police Department, Cooter was driving a black Ford SUV when an officer noticed him crossing the center line and driving on the wrong side of the street at 16th Street and White Avenue.

What kind of world do we live in where a Jim Bob Cooter can’t drive on whatever side of White Street that he wants to? At least he wasn’t caught on Honkie Highway or Peckerwood Pike.

Damn you Fulmer.

The DaVinci Code may have a multi-million dollar budget, all-star cast and millions more in free publicity but the rich (well, not so rich..er, poor to be exact) aluminum-sided, double wide pantheon of White Trash lawn art raises questions just as troubling. For the low, low price of passing gawkery.

Strewn somewhere beneath the Hardee’s Bacon Double Cheeseburger wrappers and Mountain Dew cans in the floorboard of a 1988 Ford Tempo, beats the semi-blocked coronaries of a 96-Gallon White Trash visionary putting the pedal to the metal to challenge the way we view sinners and saints. Leviticus and lavatories. Revelations and Rebel Flags.

Like the similarly named movie, The DaVinci Commode has unlocked the secrets to one of life’s more intimate religious experiences….hidden for centuries by the Catholic Church.

The rural, ring-around-the-collar Rodin that sculpted this Rubenesque cherub atop it’s not-so-heavenly throne is such an inbred iconoclast as to wash away all guerilla roadside grave activists in his wake.

Like Burt Reynolds in Deliverance, I traversed the landscape of Crackerstan to attain this photo. Risking life, limb and squeal like a piggy rape as the curtains were violently thrown open @ 6am this morning to see who was trespassing with their magic picture box to capture Toilet Baby Angel in His divine squat.

In these times, such dogpatch DaVincis assuage fears of oppression. Betwixt pulled-pork barbeque and hickory smoked bacon. Walking a tightrope between faith and feces. Challenging dogma with its corn pone counterculture and porta-potty proletariat ethos.

A haunting image that lingers beyond our stained spiritual salvation and the sneering neighbors that don’t understand.

Rock on Toilet Baby Angel!

The statement from the ca-ca-cowardly King Combover:

“Last week I received a request from attorneys for death row inmate Sedley Alley for a reprieve from his execution scheduled [Wednesday]. Mr. Alley seeks a reprieve in order to pursue DNA testing on evidence from the trial in 1987 at which he was convicted of brutally kidnapping, raping and murdering Suzanne Collins.

“As has been my policy, and the policy of previous governors, I referred Mr. Alley’s clemency request to the Board of Probation and Parole to hold a hearing and make a recommendation. After a five-hour hearing, the Board returned a 4-3 recommendation for a brief reprieve to allow Mr. Alley to seek further testing.

“This horrific murder occurred in 1985, and Mr. Alley’s conviction has been litigated continuously in state and federal courts since that time.

“Based on the overwhelming weight of the evidence against him, I believe Mr. Alley to be guilty of this heinous crime. However, I am acutely aware that in capital cases mistakes cannot be corrected, and so out of respect for the Board’s recommendation, I am reluctantly issuing a reprieve for 15 days.
[...]
“The efficacy and appropriateness of DNA tests is not an issue that the Governor’s Office can or should resolve. These matters are properly the province of the court system, and we have in this state a judicial process by which such requests can be made and claims tested. This brief reprieve will allow this process to run to completion.”

The Courts already ruled in the appeal. That’s why Bredesen/Clinton appointee Judge Aleta Trauger jumped in!

This is “reluctant” grandstanding. As if the “process” hasn’t run it’s course in 21 years. All of Collins’ peers are readying themselves for retirement while she spent the 80s and 90s in a grave at Arlington Cemetery.

So, you think he’s guilty. You just want to waste some more of the state’s money and prolong the agony of the family until the next time you send some more of your flunkies out to do the dirty work. A feeble attempt to preserve your national viability because you are a soft-on-crime Pander Bear seeking to placate his leftwing base.

Makes sense to me.

Celebrity scumbag attorney Barry Scheck disgraced Nashville yesterday (no small feat) to do what he does best – trying to get convicted murderers back out on the street to terrorize the citizenry.

Scheck, most notably remembered for getting O.J. Simpson off after he was found dripping wet with DNA from his ex-wife’s throat blood, is making a strong case for his spot in line on The Hell Express by donating his “talents” to attempt to commute convicted murderer Sedley Alley from death’s sweet release.

Simpson, as you may recall, was last spotted joking around last week with selling the Ford Bronco police trailed him in hours after he killed ex-wife Nicole and Ron Goldman when he decided it would be best to grab a few thousand dollars, a handgun and a fake mustache to make his failed, nationally televised run for the Mexican border.

Knowing no reasonable court was going to rule in Alley’s favor, this tear hall putsch, in conjunction with a 4-3 vote from the Board of Probation and Parole in favor of delaying exeuction, is leaning on presidential hopeful/Governor Bredesen to either pardon (ha!) or commute Alley’s sentence.

Which is good because, as it stands, Cowardly Lion Bredesen has been able to defer his usual soft-on-crime stance by having his appointed Donk crony Judge Aleta Trauger play the heavy.

Even the adamantly anti-death penalty editor of the Looney Left alt-weekly Nashville Scene commented thusly:

“If you do as Wayne suggests, it should be because of a fundamental conviction against state-sanctioned killing. Because the guy did it. Should you have any doubt, read the current Scene cover story.”

The caterwauling from the usual coffee klatch of leftists seems to be that mixing Church and State is okay as long as it’s inventing some new giveaway under the auspices of “charity” or to protect murderers from facing accountability for taking the life of an innocent. We’ll see them arguing with Ray Moore to put the 10 Commandments at the Courthouse in no time.

I’m laughing morbidly at the idea of Jesus emailing the governor and urging execution.

Revenge is a very difficult instinct to tame, but Jesus asks us to tame it all the same. Revenge is not justice. Revenge is the gratification of sinful thoughts. It is the easy way.

No one has the right to take a life but God. If you think differently, there’s a book you ought to look into. IT’S CALLED THE BIBLE.

But killing a man strapped down to a gurney is not self-defense by any stretch of the imagination. He is under your control, he poses no threat to anyone. It’s just vengence, pure and simple, and to revel in killing is as good as commiting it yourself. “Vengence is mine, saith the Lord,” and any human who takes that privilege for him or herself is playing with fire.

Posted by: Sadie Baker at May 16, 2006 09:17 AM

That last comment is from one of the Gorilla Women. No word yet on how them radically overruling God’s wisdom by aborting pregnancies is “playing with fire” or how the death penalty trumps the Victimization Of Women(tm) from such rabid Pamprinistas.

Meanwhile, the real victim’s family is forced to drive from North Carolina again to make sure that justice does not get derailed again by the local leftards.

“Sedley Alley gave Suzanne no clemency,” said Jack Collins, who, with his wife, Trudy, traveled from North Carolina to represent their dead daughter. “He gave her instead a humiliating, degrading and painful exit from life, her family and her friends.”[...]
“Let there be no doubt about it: Sedley Alley was, is and always will be the one and only killer of our daughter.” Alley’s brutal treatment was “evil in its purest form,” Jack Collins said.

Suzanne’s brother, Steven Collins, described his younger sister as “the embodiment of life,” who loved softball, school plays and spending time with friends. “The time for frivolous postponements is over,” said Collins, who lives in Colorado. “ It’s time to carry out the will of the people.”

My name is Aleta Trauger and I am an activist judge. By “activist judge” I mean that Bill Clinton appointed me to the bench for a reason. I’ve risen from being Democrat Mayor Phil Bredesen’s Chief of Staff, a ’92 Clinton-Gore delegate, to a mediocre bankruptcy judge to a U.S. District Court judge in a short 6 years! I’m a symbol of what an affirmative actioned Donk crony can do when she screws the right man who knows how to do the old quid pro quo – like real hard. With the right political connections, it’s been my privilege to impose my own personal and ideological vision through the courts when “the Will of the People” moves too slowly for my progressive tastes.

Thy gavel be true. By fiat I rule.

Sometimes silly little things like “the law” get in the way of progress:

Take today for example. Less than 24 hours ago, a three-judge panel of real savages wanted to kill a man in cold blood! Not on my watch fellas. Step aside and let a lady show you how to wield the stick. I issued a stay in Sedley Alley’s execution because I really, really think that there is a snowball’s chance in hell that a Supreme Court packed with conservative Bush appointees is going to overturn established law on lethal injection. Why, that might cause this convicted murderer some itty-bitty pain on his way to Hell’s Eternal Buttslammer.

Just because he murdered and raped a Marine. Ran over her with his car. Stabbed her in the head with a screwdriver, strangled her and raped her with a 31 inch stick so far that it punctured her lung. I’m with you Sedley! Christ knows you shouldn’t be made to suffer.

Or say you accidentally kidnap and accidentally rape an 8 year old girl before you accidentally stab her to death. I was with you too Robert Glen Coe! Someone has to speak up for our nation’s child rapist/murderers or else the Republicans have already won.

Maybe you’re black, have bad credit and like to live above your means. I am for you as well. Last year I made it illegal for automotive credit companies to equally apply the same standards to you as they do to everybody else. That’s racist! Though I could find no effort by the company to intentionally discriminate against you – we made things right.

Even though “In this case, the “null hypothesis” is that there
is no difference between the subjective markup paid by African-American and White PRIMUS customers”, I knew better. Even though numerically more whites were paying mark-ups on their vehicle loans, blacks were represented by a higher percentage due to their bad credit.

Thanks to me, those same credit companies must now engage in predatory lending or else I’ll take their ass out. I mean, how come you can’t pay a $450 a month car note when you only make $800 a month and have bad credit? That’s just racist and so now you can run out on the car note you couldn’t afford with impunity!

Or maybe you and 39 of your Muslim buddies want to shutdown an assembly line every night to hold prayer services to Allah on company time. You know who’s Mohammed’s right hand dhimmi don’t ya? Sharia in the house.

Friend to murderers, child rapists, racebaiting hucksters and unions of Muslim thugs. My name is Aleta Trauger. But you can call me God.

In what could be a long week and a half, justice stands to be denied again in the death penalty case involving raped and murdered Marine Lance Corporal Suzanne Collins two decades ago in Memphis.

Count on News2 for one side of the story. The poor, innocent murderer’s side. *sob*

Sedley Alley’s taped confessional snuff porn is only an hour long they contend. One hour short of their liking.

July 11, 1985
Alley’s wife left him after getting in a fight. He drank two six-packs and a bottle of wine. He told authorities that he had gone out for more liquor when his car accidentally hit 19-year-old Suzanne Collins as she jogged near the Millington Naval Base. Alley’s story is that he accidentally killed the young woman — who was due to graduate from aviation school the next day. However, an autopsy revealed that her skull had been fractured with a screwdriver. After she died, a tree limb was rammed into her vagina so hard that it entered her abdomen and lacerated one of her lungs.

After his taped confession, his defense team claimed he had Multiple Personality Disorder. Twenty years, and seemingly endless appeals later, one of his personalities is now claiming that he’s innocent.

The inconveniently graphic details always get left out of anti-justice advocates’ attempts to humanize their monster role models.

It doesn’t help your case when one of the FBI’s top criminal profilers of all time includes three condemning chapters in his book on the object of your diseased affections and who was the model for Clarice Starling’s mentor in “Silence of the Lambs”. Someone who at least bothered to talk to the victim’s family and the condemned before promoting some ideologue’s propaganda.

ABC thought enough of him before, why not have somebody give him a call and ask him why he’s wrong now?

Take that all of you CSI: Miami Monday night armchair criminologists.

Approaching the 21 year anniversary of the murder of Suzanne Collins, the same bastards who have defaced a Wikipedia page (see edit “the tn dude”) to her memory and turned it into an anti-death penalty page while continuing to disgrace her memory and torture the victim’s family by lionizing this piece of shit.

Even so speciously asserting that “Moreover, examples of false and coerced confessions abound. A number of innocent people confessed to being the Central Park rapist, for example” as if that one incident nullifies any confession in any court. But what do we really expect from a guy who likes “creating mayhem and havoc”.

As Hillary has all but thrown her burning bra into the ring for the 2008 election, and as she’s kicked off her tamponic tour in Occupied Nashville, I was hoping someone might be able to explain how you can be “pro-choice” for underage girls to NOT have to notify their parents when aborting the spoils of their whoredom but you have to BAN having coke machines in public schools.

How It’s Your Choice(tm) to abort your child in the 9th month yet we must BAN stores from selling “violent video games”.

What’s it gonna be, hon?

Are you “pro-choice” or just an authoritarian wrapping yourself in some all-knowing, all-nurturing Big Mother’s nightgown preaching to The Village from the The People’s Podium in the Tolerance Square at the intersection of Margaret Sanger Blvd. North and Margaret Sanger Blvd. East?

Not one to merely complain without offering solutions, I think we’ve got a way to keep Grand Theft Auto on the shelves and ensure a future where diabetics can still play video games while promoting the Democratic Platform.

RockStar should be paying me.

Well, the Titans have picked Vince Young and I certainly can’t argue with that. He’s a phenomenal athlete. But with all of his laudatory praise for Steve McNair, considering Steve-O’s grievance with being kept out of practice, I don’t know how that will pan out. I am sure it’s nothing a couple of million dollars won’t fix.

As if to brag about the high-octane crack available in the 5th ward, the Texans took Mario Williams over Reggie Bush. WTF? Madness. They’ll live to regret that one.

Matt Leinart dropped to 10th like a stone. Too bad, so sad, oh dad – pretty boy. That’s what hanging out another year for ballroom dancing lessons gets ya.

The Broncos trade up to get Vanderbilt’s Jay Cutler and he’ll get to play back-up for Jake The Snake for a year or two. I haven’t been as big on Cutler as some have but I’d be a fool to doubt Shanahan.

So much for those prognostications sports swamis.

But, and I pose this to ESPN, why are Michael Irvin’s eyelids so heavy that he has to brush them off his lapels?

I can only imagine some high quality dope-ish. Quite talkative too. Mumbling and mildly belligerent.
Cheers, Mikey.

It’s gotta be tough being around all those young people making more coming out of college than you made in your entire Superbowl-ringed career. Some stripper is sure to be going home with a black eye tonight.

The Carolina Panthers just burnt their first round pick on DeAngelo Williams (RB) out of the University of Mempiss. They say “he’s like Barry Sanders”. I don’t think that will translate to the pros but Christ….you’re 1st round pick for him???

The world just doesn’t make sense anymore.

The Jets just picked up, the somewhat pornographically named, Nick Mangold (out of OSU) to replace outgoing Kevin Mawae who was signed by the Titans a little over a month ago.

He hugs his mama and I get a little teary-eyed too. Christ, he looks like he could stop up a toilet.

No Al Gore low-flow bowls for you my young man. (courtesy flush to mrs. smantix on that one)

And it’s the Sloppy Second Round:

Like a 50 year old virgin fumbling through his wallet, Norm Chow finally gets to use one of his Trojans. The Titans get Lendale White who is somehow one of the greatest scorers in USC history. Was it the line? Was it defenses keep their LB’s spying on Bush. Leinart opening up the run? Who knows?
The Titans can’t keep our backs from going all Ricky Williams on the peace pipe.

Welcome abord Lendale! And stay away from Pac-Man.

And with that, I’ve got some non-Mexican beer that’s suffering from separation anxiety.

Christian Grantham alerts us to the auction to buy the Governor’s crapper – you can have a piece of Tennessee history – and then pinch a loaf in it!

This may very well be the same crapper in which the most disgraceful governor in our history, Dandy Don Sundquist, flung feces whilst fleecing the state’s producers. Perhaps Ray Blanton showered this very bowl with explosive diarrhea after exchanging $$$ under the table with the Butcher brothers! Maybe Lamar Alexander had a log drop in this same vessel that made all his fellow milquetoast moderates stand up and provide a half-hearted golf clap! There are so many possibilities. Get in on the auction while the gettin’s good.

SEMI-RELATED: Also see Christian’s post on a pending Sunshine in Government Improvement Act of 2006 vote tomorrow. Christian and I don’t agree on much, but we both believe in a transparent state government – instead of the pompous bunch of untouchable jackasses we have prancing around in Nashville today.

Like Jerry Reed in The Waterboy, the hubris of The Nashville Scene knows no bounds. After a weeklong silence, the Ivory Tower comes back mad as hell and letting everybody know that “har-har – yer still fired!”:

A Web of Conflicts

by Liz Garrigan

How many bloggers actually have jobs? We don’t know, except to say one fewer now than before.

Open mic is every Wednesday afternoon. Remember to tip your waitress.

That’s because a poor blogging sap who’d made his bed—only to be snugly tucked in by the Scene—lost his job at Belmont University last week. Maybe he deserved it. Maybe he didn’t. But the Scene makes no apologies for exposing the juvenile, anti-Muslim Internet speech of Bill Hobbs, a “blog-based journalist” who has worked feverishly over the last few years to be regarded seriously, and whose political blog at one time saw serious Internet traffic (Political Notes, April 13).

So much for the cooler head of The Editor who doesn’t recognize her weekly’s constant denigration of Christians, Baptists or any other protestant fringe group that doesn’t subscribe to the Utne Reader.

On to the hit piece’s original author who has heretofore been as quiet as a Mosque Mouse:

Today is that special day that comes every year. It’s national Tax Day.

Today you will be reminded that you’re getting your rectum stretched all year ’round by the Feds and it is your duty as a good American to lay there and take it.

The left loves the current punitive tax code because it forces the rich (those of you making $35K per year, fyi) to pay “their fair share.” The left also loves the death tax because all wealth is the property of government for purposes of redistribution. It doesn’t matter if you’ve built even moderate wealth through hard work – the mental midgets on the left truly believe that you’ve cheated the system and you must be punished – because you’ve somehow earned it off the backs of the poor.

The IRS is simply the strong-armed enforcer for the class warfare agents that infect government at all levels – a bureaucracy of soulless thugs doing the bidding of their deranged masters.

Take today as a motivation to write your bought-and-paid-for congresspeople and let them know that you support comprehensive tax reform and the abolition of the IRS. The Flat Tax or the Fair Tax are both excellent alternatives to the current punitive Federal tax system.

Find your congresshoodwink here.

Notorious Tennessee Titan and 4-H Club Citizen of The Year, Adam “Pacman” Jones just can’t seem to keep his good samaritan ways out of the spotlight. Seems like if he’s not helping nightclub owners readjust their faces for asking him to stop smoking drugs at their business, helping out his fellow classmates at WVU with the finer points of pool cue technology, or encouraging Atlanta’s exotic dancers to learn how to keep their mouths shut that he’s got a nose for the action and is always trying to keep his friends from getting themselves into trouble.

Chief Spanky hogs up a camera lens long enough to oink out the play-by-play:

“It’s a lot of dope. It takes a long time to sell this much dope at the street level in little dime bags or nickel bags. I mean this is a lot of dope,” Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas said.

Nice work detective and that’s quite a vocabulary. In my day, Pac-Man cost a quarter. But just how much of this “dope” shall we be speaking of?

During a press conference, police showed off more than 1,600 pounds of marijuana and 128 pounds of cocaine.

They intercepted the drugs after a seven-month investigation.

Most of the drugs came from Mexico.

Police in Davidson and Sumner Counties seized more than $600,000 in cash and more than 20 vehicles, including Corvettes and Cadillacs.
[...]
District Attorney Torry Johnson said Pacman Jones is an acquaintance of Darryl Jerome Moore.

Police said Moore is the main suspect in the case.

They seized a Cadillac XLT sports car at Moore’s apartment in Bellevue.

“Pacman” was embroidered on the seats.

An attorney for Pacman Jones said his client has no ownership interest in the car.

In fact, the car is registered to a person in Henderson, Nev.

In fact, who doesn’t have “Pacman” embroidered into the seat cushions of their dopesmuggling car? I was always more of a Donkey Kong man, myself.

It is important to note that the Pacman himself has not been charged with anything at all.

It’s all one big 60 kilogram, $600,000.00, 1600 lbs of sweet, sweet cheeba misunderstanding, give or take a few 8-balls, where the dope dealer in question just happens to be such a big fan of 80s arcade memorabilia that he coincidentally stitched and didn’t even recall that he’s the acquaintance of a rookie cornerback for a currently suckass 4-12 football team – with the exact same nick name.

Remember that oh-so-controversial story from last week about a conservative blogger publishing a Mohammed parody on his personal website? No?

Well, he’s been relieved of his job responsibilities now. Relieved, let go, fired, resigned. The result’s all the same if you’ve got a family to support no matter what euphemism it’s dressed up in.

Aren’t Republicans always preaching accountability? Or is that just for poor people.

Accountability without regard to context is injustice. It’s the difference between stealing a loaf of bread out of hunger or stealing a car out of boredom. Killing a man in self-defense or murdering a man for his wallet.

Congratulations to Democratic Operative/Story Teller John Spragens at the Nashville Scene for his wonderful hit piece that led to it. Kudos to his editors who greenlighted the project as well. (ed. note 02.09.08 – Spragens has since left the Nashville Scene to work as Communications Chief for Democratic Congressman Jim Cooper and then to jumpstart the Obama campaign – natch)   The First Amendment that they stood up for so ardently when one of their ad men was arrested for knowingly promoting prostitution in their Classifieds translated so well to their effort to draw attention to said blogger’s real life employers.

The commies are bringing the funny:

While I do not think Bill Hobbs should have lost his job, obviously someone did.

Lesson: Be nice to people and they will not be gleeful in your misery!

By posting this item on the web, even for a minute, Hobbs should have realized that it was out in the the greater world and he could not take it back. 2 days, 2 months or 2 years the potential audience and even greater repercussions were sitting out in the world wide web like a time bomb.

This must be that fascist Amerikkka I keep hearing about.

Score: Islamofascist Loving Donks: 1 Free Speech: 0

I would have thought tonight’s South Park lambasting the Mohammed Cartoons (and Family Guy) to have been months late and lacking a certain relevance had I not witnessed an absurd spectacle of Pro-Islamofascist Ragin’ Caucasians getting their tighty whities in a bunch over those exact same cartoons.

While the riots overseas have quelled, actual Muslim rage pales in comparison to their pasty-faced counterparts in the Country Music Capitol. Our own local insurgents-in-waiting beared their knives and have started ululating and stoning rape victims at the thought of a contributing blogger for a gubernatorial candidate, who just announced his candidacy two days ago (strained enough relation yet?), having posted a horrific and offensive stick figure depiction of Mohammad on a personal website. Over two months ago.

Says the delightfully named Donk, Mike Walker Lindh-Kopp, at Tennessee Political Pulse (I know, I’d never heard of it before either):

I’ve know Hobbs (the blogger) for many years and while we never see eye to eye on the issues, I’ve generally found him to be fairly reasonable to deal with.
But Hobbs has shown me a darker side to his mind with his insensitive, moronic site.

This is the dark side? But this isn’t?

I have no quarrel with a person’s right to free speech, but as a Christian I believe this kind of expression goes against all the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament.

Well, apparently you do have a quarrel.

Read: As a fake Christian, he holds other “gods” before or equal to his own god.

And then that whole “not judging” thing.

This prompts me to want to ask candidate “man of faith” Jim Bryson (the candidate) if he condones this kind of distasteful insensitivity to people of other faiths
[...]
If Jim Bryson wants to continue to use Hobbs and his blog followers to spread his message, so be it. But if he does, he better be prepared to deal with the political consequences.

What consequences, pray tell? That a Republican candidate is going to lose out on that big Tennessee Muslim vote? That the terrorist supporting Tennessee Taliban of the Democratic Party are going to suicide bomb the blog supporting a Republican candidate for such a tenuous tie?

Make a big issue out of this. Please. Let’s see who stands with the rioting, murdering Muslims who stormed and burned multiple embassies (lest we forget) and who stands with Free Speech aka “insensitivity”.

It’s not like we haven’t always known that answer, I just like to hear them say it.

As expected, the woman who slayed her minister husband is planning to take the Andrea Yates Defense for a test drive around the Courthouse. But what drove her over the edge? Also as expected, the gynocentric stars should be aligning in her defense to rage, rage against the oppressive Patriarchy that forced her to ice her old man/father of their children.

Did the sluggish acceleration of a preacher’s Kia Sedona lifestyle stall on the on-ramp to excitement? What makes a broad want to stop serving her husband a hot meal and instead serve up some hot lead to a man obviously misguided enough to put up with her nutty ass???

The good folks at Smith-Kline and Wesson don’t know for sure but that’s never stopped them from offering a .45 calibre cure before! Help us help you keep your pretty princess from becoming a pistol-packing Pamprinista:

Matt Margolis is running a poll that is showing dismal negatives and weak positives for every conventional contender who has expressed interest in running in ’08.

I know it’s a small sample. I know it’s still early. But I’m just going to toss this out there.

Talk amongst yourselves. After 6 years of mush-mouth, we could use a strong candidate who can reach Reagan Democrats and verbally articulate the conservative message.

Great progressive news comrades. In light of the unfortunate trouble the Ukraine has had in retaining their Soviet Era Spirit and the pitiful showing of pro-dictatorship rallies at home and abroad, Belarus has effectively transformed itself into a fully functioning and oppressively operational Sputnik. (With apologies to the Kommisar) “Khorosho!”

Lukashenko’s government has all but shut down the independent media, arrested hundreds of opposition campaign activists, kicked and beaten one presidential contender during a campaign rally, expelled students and reportedly fired state workers who did not toe an ideological line that reads like a reissue of the Communist-era Pravda. The KGB has been accused of operating secret death squads responsible for some of the disappearances and deaths of half a dozen journalists, businessmen and political opponents since 1999.

Why, then, does a recent InterMedia poll show Lukashenko drawing an easy 52.9% of the vote, far ahead of his rivals?

Good question. Maybe because 100% of the vote looks suspicious?

UPDATE on the Belarus Presidential Election as we speak:

Early exit polls yesterday gave Mr Lukashenko more than 82.90 per cent of the vote and the main opposition candidate, Alexander Milinkevich, just 2.2 per cent.

The BBC provides a decent list of quotes where Lukashenko speaks about his admiration of what Hitler achieved, a solid defense of Milosevic, how it’s understandable that people might think he’s a dictator, and how he’s not running for a third term that he’s somehow winning by a 90% margin this afternoon.

But it gets better as the State Department released how Belarus has been selling billions in weaponry to Iran as the Sydney Morning Herald intones:

Don’t be confused – it’s not a Driver’s License. It’s a Certificate for Driving – Not To Be Used For Identification Purposes.

Much like TennCare (our state’s attempt at HillaryCare), the Governor’s office promised that this program would serve as a model for other states to follow. What could go wrong? You’re an illegal alien? Come to Tennessee, we’ll get you documented, we don’t care if you’re just here from Mexico to work at the Brentwood car wash or if you’re here from Yemen to assist in a multi-faceted terror plot. It doesn’t matter to us – no credit? No problem!

Also, much like TennCare, it’s been a monumental failure. Consequently, the state is giving it up. This is one stillbirth that should have been an first-trimester abortion. Only a politician could argue that giving drivers’ licenses to illegals is somehow a good thing.

Commissioner Nicely has a firm grasp of the obvious. It’s a shame it took him nearly two years to reach that conclusion. I guess that gave his landscapers enough time to get their projects done.

Donna Rowland, State Rep from Murfreesboro points out that, predictably, “busloads of people from other states poured into Tennessee to get the card.” This was yet another effect that the Bredesen administration just couldn’t forsee.

Here’s a tip for all of the illegals from surrounding states who are ticked off about this change – how about coming here legally instead of slapping the faces of the immigrants who have worked hard to become citizens? Compared to the landscaping, construction and service industry work you do, learning English and passing a test should be a piece of cake.
