And embarrassment. Here on you border state, border counties, we gifted American Meadows, then nothing learned from that fiasco, we gave you Cawthorn. Same district.

Yours may edge out ours in horribleness, but not by much. Yours does love the national spotlight.

I have visited Tennessee, it's a beautiful state, lots of mountains and lakes. I visited Jack Daniels distillery. I could not believe it was located in a dry county. Maybe that has changed since I visited.

and evilgelical religion. That's all I can figure out. I grew up in TN and still can't quite put my finger on what the hell happened. Seems the state of pragmatic Dems and sensible Reps went straight to hell and never looked back. Both Ned McWherter and Howard Baker are spinning in their graves.

As a TN resident for over 20 years, I was astonished when Blackburn won. Can't even stand the sound of the woman's voice.

This year I have the opportunity to vote in the upcoming PA elections with really good Dem candidates and a decent shot of taking Toomey's open seat as well as electing another strong Democrat for Governor.

Better times are coming.

Red states have more, but even the bluest of blue states has a contingent of right-wing assholes.

In New York we have Elise Stefanik. Need I say more?

I worked in a fairly upscale cafe in downtown Nashville, and she used to drop by whenever she was in our part of town. She was too busy showing off and trying to be relevant. We used to laugh at her after she left. Very idiotic person. No need to apologize. The insane morons should be apologizing. Like, every single day until she is removed from office.
