What in the hell is going on nowadays?
Suddenly yellow flags with rattlesnakes are popping up in town, even among the granolas. Apparently, the I.R.S. in Cincinnati targeted Tea Party groups for special scrutiny in vetting them for nonprofit status, while giving liberal groups a free pass.
Now Congress has gotten bipartisan for a change: a chorus of bleating that this was wrong!
Let's face it: the I.R.S. is about as popular as an enema with the general public, anyway; so if the Obama administration throws a few I.R.S. agents or offices under the bus, there won't be too much wailing and gnashing of teeth!
It looks a little more weird when it comes to reading journalists' email records. This can be like a major scandal.
Time for some low-level administrators to have their Come to Jesus moments, and take one for the team. I know the Big Guy will make sure the buck stops somewhere else.
I'm being sarcastic as hell, I know; but the hits keep on coming and I don't know what other bad news is out there.
Bottom line: Politics makes people act like dicks: and non-tumescent ones, at that!

Letting It ALL Hang Out in the Volunteer State
A former Vice-Mayor William Blakeley of Mt. Carmel, TN was accused by three women of waving and honking his horn to get their attention and then exposed himself while driving more than 90 mph, reported WJHL.
Basically, this amounted to drive-by masturbation at 90 miles per hour.
What I am not able to do is figure out how he simultaneously exposed himself and drove at speeds of 90 mph. Throw in honking. Cruise control plus yoga?
Who says they don't know how to have a good time in NE Tennessee?

More Bad Legislation in Tennessee
There's a current bill before the Tennessee House that would tie welfare payments to families based on school performance of the children. Specifically, if the kids don't make the grades, then the family's welfare money is reduced by 30%. The idea is that this would ensure better progress in school.
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/mar/31/bill-tying-student-performance-to-welfare-in/?partner=popular
This bill seems to me to be a royally bad idea, poorly conceived and mean-spirited.
Here's some reasons why:
1. Some kids are simply unintelligent, and cannot make the mark.
2. Some are unidentified hyperactive or mentally disturbed, and perform poorly as a result.
3. Parents do not have complete control over what their children will do.
The sponsor of the bill: ol' Stacey Campfield. The Ville of Knox elected him.

Defending Tennessee From Running-Dog Georgian Aggression
There has been a dispute between Georgia and Tennessee as to where their common boundary lies. The upstart Georgians claim it was mis-surveyed, and Georgia has some land coming. The disputed land includes Lookout Mountain. No one thinks for a moment that Georgia has set its lecherous sights on Rock City or even the Incline Railroad. No, they have more serious concerns: access to the Tennessee River to suck it up!
Basically, if the boundary line gets drawn a bit northward, that will include access to Lake Nickajack, part of the Tennessee Rivers system. And that boil on the buttocks of the South, Atlanta, will gorge itself in more and more water to water the lawns in Buckhead or other parts of the megapolis. And never mind downstream Tennessee and Alabama! [They give Alabama the short end of the stick with the Chattahoochee already.]
This author gives a fanciful, yet seemingly practical, way of thwarting those foul Georgians from doing their nefarious deed.

But in the event of a successful Georgian invasion, I suggest we go the Full Lysistrata on them!
