Putting out an APB on “Sour Grapes” Musgrave: Running against challenger (and super-wealthy business executive) Betsy Markey in the election earlier this month, Musgrave got obliterated, 56% to 44%. It was the worst beat any incumbent in Congress took this year. And now, Musgrave refuses to concede or thank her campaign staff, and for that matter, nobody really knows where the F she is…

Signs the NYT Might Be Planning To Make Fun of You: Heads up rural Southerners, Plains residents and Appalachians: the New York Times may be headed to your town for a little victory dance.

TN Columnist firmly entrenched in 20th century: This column is self-serving journalism at its worst – it serves no purpose other than to give one ignorant racist a forum for his childish, shameful humor. No reader is better off for having read this column, no point has been made, no purpose has been served at all. This is worthless journalism, another nail in the coffin of our profession.


An Audiobook of This Would Be Awesome: An undecided voter wrestles with the big decision. “I miss Ronnie Reagan. I wish he was still around to tell me one of his grandfatherly stories about how little Suzie in the third grade in Indiana needs new shoes and how my vote could help her get some cute pink and white Nikes.

Mixed Messages from Hollywood Liberals: So no doubt you’ve seen, or at least heard about, this video of a bunch of Hollywood stars telling you to register to vote…If we were not registered, this video would make us NOT want to. The fact is, most of these people didn’t go to college and pretend for a living. We don’t recommend letting dullards like these influence your political positions.
