TN Gov. Bredesen signed into law a bill that prevents obese people from suing the fast food industry. This is ironic because of our tobacco suits. See, our legislature in its infinite wisdom began banking on the tobacco money. They funded programs and this and that, apparently unaware the cash inflow from the settlement was […]

Yet, WATE writes: Gov. Phil Bredesen has a slab of ribs riding on Tuesday night’s national championship between the Lady Vols and the University of Connecticut. Bredesen and Connecticut Gov. John Rowland struck a bet Tuesday. If UT loses the game, Bredesen will send Rowland barbecue ribs from the Rendezvous in Memphis. If Connecticut loses, […]

WATE: Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union Thursday filed a lawsuit over a state specialty license plate that benefits abortion opponents. The groups say the tag discriminates against people with opposing views. The Legislature authorized the “Choose Life” plate in the last session, but the Senate tabled an amendment proposal that would have […]

Michael Totten on the self destructing left. Ipse Dixit has more. Does Bredesen have a future in national politics? I hope so.

Bredesen signed into law a bill that reads: The sheriff or chief of police of the city of residence of a person purchasing any firearm, defined by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. 5845 et seq., shall execute within fifteen (15) business days of any […]

Per the KNS: Gov. Phil Bredesen plans to close Brushy Mountain State Prison and replace it with a new and larger facility in Morgan County, according to a document obtained by the News Sentinel. Why does this make me sad? According to some family history, my great grandfather’s brother was the first man to escape […]

After TDOT’s new slogan, Bredesen wants a new state slogan because the old one (Tennessee Sounds Good To Me) doesn’t do it for him. How about: Tennessee, you can’t get here from there. Tennessee, thank God for Mississippi. Tennessee, where we get more Free Federal Money™ than everyone else. Tennessee, we don’t like you because […]

I haven’t been on the Knoxville interstate in a while, until today. I noticed signs on the road that read Aggressive Driving Enforcement Campaign. I suppose our local police are cracking down on aggressive drivers. However, the drivers in Knoxville wouldn’t drive so aggressively if they could actually get from one end of town to […]

Was convincing people to be happy about increasing taxes or levying new ones. And Joe Sullivan at the Metropulse buys it; hook, line and sinker. Mr. Sullivan uses every trick in the happy to pay taxes handbook, including referring to Bredesen’s cuts as draconian, that the state will be losing more than $1.2 billion in […]
