So sorry to hear about Katie. Last July, Kintoki, one of The World’s Greatest Cats passed away, and of course, in 1976, Jackie, one of The World’s Greatest Dogs also passed away. I still miss them. You’ve built an amazing community, and we’re all here.

The official summary is here. There’s not one shred of evidence to support creationism. It’s religion. The Catholic Church is opposed to Intelligent Design, “God of the gaps” they called it, and is pro-science . So what happens when religions collide? Something not discussed; what about home schooling and for-profit schools? Sen. Lamar Alexander has his hand in that [...]

They’ve been bred and trained to hate. I’ve lived in Nashville for over 5 years now, and it’s amazing to walk into a business and hear hate radio playing, or hear it from a car radio when people come to pick up their kids after school, or blasting as they drive through a parking lot. [...]

Thanks for all the remarks and replies, and I hope I’ve addressed (and will address) everyone’s concerns and comments. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I was really emotional about the bullying law making a return, and I was worried about going ballistic and saying things I’d regret, and ended up being vague and [...]

To show the rally. I’ve got a flip recorder, and it doesn’t do close-ups. Unfortunately, with 2 TV networks present, and The Tennessean newspaper, I had hoped this would have been broadcast; it was supposed to be on Saturday nights’ 9:00 news, but if it was, I can’t find it online. Just this: http://www.tennessean.com/videonetwork/1562448855001/Evolution-Law-Protests So [...]

I don’t think I’ve heard that He wants to stand up to the far right of his party, but he won’t without a strong support to cover his backside. The Rob Boston article I link to in comment #2 states Haslam is a Republican governor of a red state with large GOP majorities in both Houses. [...]

When I read comments from various TN Legislators, they’re just downright disturbing. I’ve been following them through my writing about Occupy Nashville, Vance Dennis and Stacey Campfield on the Bully Bill, Eric Watson’s “pee” remarks, Richard Floyd’s “stomp a mudhole,” to name a few, there’s no reasons for these laws, there’s no reasons for these [...]

Charles Pierce covered that eloquently in Idiot America, “God and Judge Jones.” Rob Boston just happened to have a paste-able quote handy.
And if a community does have to go to court, I wonder where the Legislature will be? -

Sorry about that. I was pretty livid when I wrote it, and was kind of worried about being over the top, and probably ended up going both ways. What really got me is the bully bill is back in play. As the petition states, “If passed, the Tennessee “license to bully” bill would allow students [...]

Rob Boston piles on more bad news. TN could end up with a situation similar to that described by Charles Pierce in Idiot America , “God and Judge Jones.” Boston:
Here’s what’s really sad about this: A school district somewhere in the state is going to implement these reckless policies and get sued. The courts have been clear on [...]

http://www.flickr.com/photos/74334175@N05/7078252363/ It hasn’t been a good week here in TN. Charles Pierce , Hunter, PZ Meyers , and Suzie Madrak have all spilled virtual ink and probably actual tears [...]

Charles Pierce is worried.
Brown already is running as though this were a noisier-than-usual state senate race. All barn coats, remember, are local.
On a related note, it turns out we have an interesting woman running for Senate here in TN.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/74334175@N05/6908844802/ Tennessee has been in the news again, and as usual, not for very good reasons. Bills legalizing ignorance, stupidity, and greed are poised for take-off. The first two bills won’t even create “useful idiots,” but a totally useless variety , while the third eliminates the inheritance tax by 2016 (click on the PDF in the above link).
