How many lies can the Tennessean’s editorial board repeat

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Let’s count: Cho’s purchases met Virginia law at the time, but a judge’s recent ruling on his competency should have sounded an alarm with federal officials, had they been notified as part of the background check. Incorrect. Cho broke the law. There simply wasn’t a mechanism for reporting his adjudication as a mental defective. Some […]

Fisking via email

Reader Rick emails the following in response to this anti-gun column (long, grab your coffee): THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT, OUR CURRENT GUN CULTURE IS LEADING THE COUNTRY DOWN A PATH TO MAYHEM. My gun has lead no one anywhere. It merely sits in the drawer until I use it. And I […]

Where does the buck stop Mayor Ragsdale?

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

For some time citizens of Knox County have wondered if County Mayor Mike Ragsdale was the Emperor with no clothes. No matter what kind of mistake was made on the western end of the sixth floor of the City County Building or how serious that mistake is, it is always passed off as some trivial […]

Don’t say that, lest ye offend my delicate sensibilities

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

In this post, I mentioned that the nut job Sulejmen Talovic went on a shooting rampage was a Muslim. Then, I noted that the right wing blogs were wondering why this fact wasn’t mentioned much in the press. Persimmon’s PC radar went up and, first, I was accused of not knowing that Muslim was not […]

The death of the Thorn Grove Community

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Monday was a sad day in Knox County Commission. In one of the most confused meetings, that often resembled the Keystone Cops more than a Commission meeting, the Midway Industrial Park received 7.5 million dollars of funding from the Knox County Commission. This happened even though there is a lawsuit seeking an injunction against any […]

I’m torn

Greeley Tribune: In a bizarre twist of events, what should have been a routine film shoot turned into a real-life thriller. Members of a film crew got the shock of their lives Saturday when a Larimer County SWAT team surrounded the crew and ordered everyone on their knees, hands behind their heads. The crew from […]

And followed it with 6 gallons of Maalox

Monday, November 15th, 2004

That’s a lot of gut bombs: Japan’s Takeru “The Tsunami” Kobayashi set a new world hamburger-eating record Saturday by consuming 69 Krystal hamburgers in eight minutes to win the inaugural Krystal Square Off World Hamburger-Eating Championship in Chattanooga. The guy weighs like 130 pounds. And for you non-local readers a Krystal is similar to a […]

Oh God Make It Stop

Monday, October 13th, 2003

I really wish baseball season would end. I personally don’t like baseball because a game lasts for about nine hours and it’s boring as Hell. Out of that nine hours, it’s maybe fifteen minutes of actual game play. The rest consists of watching men spit & scratch; listening to idiots state some arbitrary & meaningless […]

Volunteer Tailgate Party

Thursday, July 24th, 2003

Here is the current Volunteer Tailgate Party. After literally minutes of hard work and exhaustive research on my part, I’ve put together the finest things that the Rocky Top Brigade has to say about life, the universe and everything. Rex rescues a pterodactyl. Yes, you read that right, a prehistoric bird. Barry takes on Confederate […]

Supreme or no?

Tuesday, July 1st, 2003

Lots of folks saying that the second amendment needs to go to the supreme court (including me). Clayton Cramer says that may not be a good idea. Update: More on this at AlphaPatriot and at Smallest Minority. One more thing, I don’t mind Kevin (or anyone else for that matter) using my Assault Weapons Ban […]

Think you’re free? Try flying

Wednesday, May 28th, 2003

On our recent trip, me and the Mrs. made it out of the US pretty quickly and without incident. Coming back in was a problem. We land at the Atlanta airport. And stand in line at Immigration. From that line, we are merely directed to another line (much like cattle) labeled US Residents. Mind you, […]
