FINAL VOTE ON ENGLISH ONLY FOR NASHVILLE SET FOR TONIGHT.
December 5, 2006 - 07:34
Nashville's Metro Council will vote tonight on a controversial measure to make English the official language of Nashville. The Latino/Hispanic community is rolling out their troops to oppose the idea, and they say that it won't speed the pace that non-English speakers learn English. They also say it is hateful. Can you take your drivers' test in Mexico in English? Can you request English language forms from French governmental offices? Of course not. When in Rome...you speak Italian. Here...try some English. CLICK HERE. |

WWJND?

What Would Jimmy Naifeh Do? If House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh had a vote in the Republican Caucus Chairman battle who would he vote for? Charles Sargent, of course. If he is Naifeh's pick, why would Republicans pick him? As long as Republicans in the State House elect Jimmy Naifeh's lapdogs for their leaders, they will remain in the minority. Which is exactly what Jimmy Naifeh wants. CLICK HERE.

MUSLIM WOMEN DEMANDING SPECIAL TREATMENT IN AMERICA.
December 5, 2006 - 11:53
Muslim women don't want men to see them workout, so they are demanding that U.S. workout facilities accomodate them. They don't want teenage boys to see their daughters play basketball, so they are demanding that men be excluded from watching games. When will it end? When we convert...or die? CLICK HERE.
And what about the sudden demand for public prayer time in public places by these allegedly "modest" Muslim women? Like in the midst of workout equipment. Looks like a play for more political correctness and publicity rather than a humble exhortation to God. CLICK HERE.
And if the "72 virgins" look like this, why is anybody killing themselves?

U.S. WEAKNESS WILL LEAD TO A RISE IN TERRORISM.
December 5, 2006 - 11:55
No doubt about it. But will anybody claim responsibilty for emboldening the terrorists the next time they hit us? Will Nancy Pelosi say "sorry?" Don't bet on it. CLICK HERE. |

DID OPHELIA FORD INTENTIONALLY FILE A FRAUDULENT CAMPAIGN REPORT?
December 5, 2006 - 10:33
Opehlia Ford may have filed a false and fraudulent campaign financial disclosure. Her report apparently included a claim that she had received a $1000 donation from Team GOP. But the lawyer and chairman of the group says no such donation was made and that this may be an attempt by Ford to laundry the fund donated by someone else by covering up the name of the actual donor. Jeff Ward has asked for an investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. THE TBI?!?!?!? Sorry, I am laughing too hard to type now. CLICK HERE. |

NEW CONGRESS WILL GIVE AMNESTY TO ILLEGALS.
December 5, 2006 - 07:35
Millions of illegal aliens will get citizenship under the new Democrat controlled House and Senate next year. This will sure be a disappointment to all of those "conservative Democrat" voters who actually believed those television commercials from Democrat candidates promising to be tough on illegal immigration. Surprise, surprise...they LIED! Will the Republicans have the guts to fillibuster or will they simply roll over and play dead for the Democrats and the White House? My money is on them rolling over, how about you? CLICK HERE. |

GEORGIA LAWMAKER'S WIFE HIDING TO AVOID DEPORTATION.
December 5, 2006 - 07:46
No wonder we can't get our elected officials to act on the issue of illegal immigration...some of them are marrying illegals and harboring them in their own homes. Deport HER now! Maybe he will follow. CLICK HERE. |

NBC AFFILIATE IN FLORIDA RAISING MONEY FOR ILLEGALS.
December 5, 2006 - 07:40
Instead of gathering donations for a family of illegals (thirteen in all) who lost the home they were illegally renting while working illegally in this country, why don't we all just chip in for a one way ticket to send them back to where they came from? I suspect that there are plenty of law abiding AMERICAN CITIZENS who need help this time of year; I prefer to focus on helping them instead of criminals. CLICK HERE. |

FORGET THE BODY ARMOR AND SNACK FOOD, SEND SILLY STRING TO OUR TROOPS.
December 5, 2006 - 09:20
It sounds sort of...silly. But one of the best lifesaving tools our troops have in the field these days is a can of Silly String. No, I am NOT making this up. With a case of Silly String and a fifty gallon drum of whoop ass, nobody can stop an American soldier! CLICK HERE.

JUDGE JARVIS FOR SUPREME COURT.
December 5, 2006 - 08:06
If President Bush gets a shot at another Supreme Court appointment before his time is up, I think U.S. District Court Judge Jarvis deserves a long look! Finally, a guy who is as fed up with illegal behavior as I am! CLICK HERE. |

THE PUSH FOR THE BILLION DOLLAR CONVENTION CENTER BOONDOGGLE CONTINUES.
December 5, 2006 - 07:44
The desire of some of Nashville's business leaders to spend other people's money on their own pet projects is nothing short of amazing. If a billion dollar convention center is such a good idea, then the business-types who are pushing it should spend THEIR money on building it, not taxpayer money. Why won't they do that? Because Convention Centers LOSE money. They won't invest their own money in a losing venture, but they are spending a lot of taxpayer money to convince us that we need to make this same silly investment. Call you State Representative TODAY and tell them NO! CLICK HERE. |

GWYNETH PALTROW BACKTRACKS ON ANTI-AMERICAN COMMENTS.
December 5, 2006 - 07:49
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says her comments criticizing Americans as being less intelligent and civilized that Brits are a "misquote." Maybe. But what are the chances that she was misquoted...TWICE? CLICK HERE.
Meanwhile, maybe the Brits really ARE smarter than us. They will begin requiring English proficiency in order to get permanent resident status in Britain. CLICK HERE. |

MORE MISINFORMATION FROM THE TENNESSEAN.
December 5, 2006 - 12:39
Does the Tennessean ever get ANYTHING right? No, really. Is there anything that they have accurately reported this week? Turns out that their gas tax story, detailing that Tennessee collects about $65 million from gasoline taxes only missed the correct figure by a few hundred million dollars. Oooops! Was Ms. Beep in the loop on this one? CLICK HERE.
Apparently, WKRN News 2 also got suckered in by bad reporting from the Associated Press. CLICK HERE. |

DOES THE DEAD GUY GET TO UPGRADE HIS FREQUENT FLYER MILES?
December 5, 2006 - 12:19
A man died from a heart attack suffered about three hours into the flight in the Business Class on a British Airways flight to the U.S. His body was then moved to First Class for the remainder of the flight, much to the consternation of many who were seated in the First Class area. Two questions: Did he get upgraded miles for traveling in First Class? and, Why did they leave his distraught wife back in Business Class? She was the one needing the better champagne and liquor at that point, wasn't she? CLICK HERE. |

WOMAN KILLS HUSBAND FOR SERVING HER A WARM BEER.
December 5, 2006 - 12:25
I'm betting it wasn't the first time and that she had warned him several times not to do that again. Not saying it justifies her behavior, but a sympathetic jury...say in Milwaukee, might let her walk. Since it wasn't a Bud she probably won't get any mercy in St. Louis. CLICK HERE.
