My friend Brad, who is lobbying for a fat royalty check for being my Memphis connection, has just pointed out an excellent article in USA Today regarding our beloved Memphis Tigers and the negative side of playing in a relatively weak basketball conference.
Memphis is indeed winning. The Tigers are 25-3 and riding a 17-game streak, [...]

The Memphis Tigers and their propaganda battle
February 28, 2007Practices without preaching
February 28, 2007You’ve all heard global warming alarmists blame President Bush’s environmental policies for exacerbating global warming, some even going so far as to blame Bush for Hurricane Katrina. We’ve also seen Al Gore, who just won an Oscar for his propaganda piece on global warming, exposed for his hypocrisy as a prolific consumer of energy. Well, [...]

February 28, 2007Living like a carbon king
February 28, 2007Terry Frank has much more on the revelation that Al and Tipper Gore use more than 20 times the amount of electricity at their Belle Meade estate as the average American family. Of course, Al Gore expects us common folks to live like carbon paupers while he continues to live high on the carbon hog.

February 27, 2007Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “Play ball! Little League begins”
February 27, 2007It is once again that time when players, coaches, and parents are getting up for the spring baseball season. This will be my fifth year to serve as either an assistant or a head coach of a Little League baseball team. I started out in five-year-old tee-ball, and as my son has moved up through [...]
The greatest disaster in American foreign policy
February 25, 2007Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright believes that “Iraq is going to go down in history as the greatest disaster in American foreign policy.”
I beg to differ. Secretary Albright herself provided us with the greatest disaster in American foreign policy, at least in my lifetime.
Best blog post I have ever read
February 25, 2007Terry Frank has written a follow-up to her revelation that Saddam Hussein had over one million pounds of uranium. On cue, the anti-war, pro-defeat left-wing media attacked the messenger, and Terry Frank answers a critic from WKRN Channel 2, and she does so RESOUNDINGLY.
Bravo, Terry Frank.
A sign of the apocolypse: the Tennessean and Right Minded actually agree on something
February 23, 2007I’ve been slamming the folks on Broadway Avenue in Nashville more so lately than usual, so it’s only fair to point out that the fishwrap has run one of its better editorials this morning, “Tougher restrictions needed for protection on title loans.”
I’m rarely in favor of government regulating the free market. Some regulation is needed [...]
Random ideas
February 23, 2007I’d much rather be called “coach” than “mister” or “sir.”
If liberals would take on the terrorists as vigorously as they take on George W. Bush, we’d win this War on Terrorism in a snap.
The steroid scandal that has affected baseball has me longing for the days when corked bats were all the rage. I guess [...]
Hate crimes not what they’re cracked up to be
February 22, 2007Congressman John Conyers is expected to introduce hate crimes legislation in the House of Representatives. According to Focus on the Family’s analysis, “The legislation creates a special class of people identified only by the undefined terms ’sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity,’ and offers protections on par with race, color, religion and national origin.”
Hate crimes laws [...]
Yellow cake with icing
February 22, 2007Terry Frank points out that documents from Oak Ridge show that Saddam Hussein had over one million pounds of uranium.

Bredesenquist
February 21, 2007Bill Hobbs nails Governor Phil Bredesen on his false assertion that the GOP’s attempt to eliminate the food tax is really a plot to implement a state income tax. Meanwhile, the governor himself concedes in an interview with the Times Free Press that either an expansion of the sales tax base or an income tax [...]
Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “U.S. must crack down on illegal immigration”
February 20, 2007Since illegal immigration has become such a blight on the United States, with the federal government having dropped any pretense of actually enforcing existing laws, I have a great idea how we can amend our immigration laws with the intent that we make them stick through strict enforcement.
My proposition is that we start by ensuring [...]
Of Darwinism and global warming
February 19, 2007There are two scientific disciplines in which the political/religious left will not tolerate their dogma to be questioned. The first is global warming, which we’ve addressed thoroughly on this website. The second discipline, in which the political/religious left gets even nastier, is Darwinism. Jack Cashill has a column on what happened to Dr. Richard Sternberg, [...]
The longest winning streak in the nation
February 18, 2007With the Vanderbilt Commodores’ disposal of the #1-ranked Florida Gators yesterday, the Memphis Tigers now own the longest winning streak in the nation. Yesterday evening, the Tigers (ranked 8th in the latest AP poll, 9th in the ESPN/USA Today, 9th in the RPI) won their 15th consecutive game, beating the Gonzaga Bulldogs 78-77 in overtime. [...]
Hired guns
February 17, 2007The global warming alarmists have been hyperventilating as of late over the news that oil companies are shelling out ten large for scientists to refute global warming. The great Thomas Sowell has just finished putting together a trilogy of columns in which he runs a sword through global warming alarmists (I | II | III). [...]
Democrats don’t have the guts to defeat the terrorists, don’t have the guts to cut funding
February 17, 2007The Democrat Party, where politics trumps national security, celebrated a victory in the House of Representatives by passing a symbolic resolution opposing President Bush’s decision to send more troops to Iraq. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who is the most powerful woman in America (and quite possible the world), bragged afterward that “The passage [...]
President Rush Limbaugh’s fireside chat
February 15, 2007This is too funny for words.
Healing on the Sabbath
February 19, 2007This month our Sunday School literature has centered on the divinity of Christ, using passages from the Gospel of John. Yesterday, we read from John 5, which begins with Jesus healing a man who had spent 38 years as an invalid. It occurred on the Sabbath.
Imagine knowing someone who had been, say, confined to a [...]
