Re: “Tennessee Tries to Bully Berry College

The concept of college via the internet (or commerce in general via the net) opens up great issues in states rights and their ability to tax and regulate these activities.

This school is recruiting students in Tennessee, yet feels they have no obligation to meet any standards established in our state, whether those standards concern education or fees. If they want to do that, then they can not also come to this state and establish an operation here. The question is a matter of gray - when do they establish an operation here?

But yes, I want my frat to have a rush party on the billboard, thank you. :)

Re: “Whose Faith & Values Is The Tennessean Covering?

Well, Gerald, as the MEDIA, and in some manner representative of this area, to completely ignore other religions on their faith and values page, indicates that either they feel other religions are not legitimate faith or have no value. Which is a direct and vile insult to minority religions, IMHO. Their #1 responsibility is to print the truth, far above any profit motive, and to ignore minority religions is in many aspects lying through omission!

That's the point! He was searching for (in his own words) BLACK predators. Does that NOT ring a bell in your mind?

Re: “Whose Faith & Values Is The Tennessean Covering?

I agree that The Tennessean should have broader coverage; ie> coverage of other religions and groups besides Christians. But, wait! Isn't the Tennessean a business? And don't they have a right to run their "business" as they see fit? Oh! And I think Nashville used? to be considered in the "Bible Belt"! Just sayin....

@davidlongfellow: What are you implying? The killers explanation for the beheading makes perfect sense to open minded people everywhere.

Anything that eliminates predators of any stripe or spot is good.

Re: “WSMV Exposes Metro's Makeshift Toxic Landfill (And a Scalp for Ken Jakes!)

Jakes is right in what he said. If Metro caught any citizen doing this sort of thing, that person would be nailed to the wall. I know y'all hate Jakes and all, but he deserves some respect for bringing this to light. Would YOU want to live in the neighborhood in which that toxic material was dumped? Or will be dumped? Not me. Thanks Ken Jakes!

Re: “Whose Faith & Values Is The Tennessean Covering?

The birds were flying low. Too low for Mr. Xray, the man whose name we all know but cannot utter, for fear of a karma so bombastic, so utterly surreal, that it would blow our atoms into the 5th dimension, the dimension that exists in all of us. Same goes for Mrs. Zoombah. The exegesis wrought by the low flying birds was driving the monkey's mad, at least according to the fabulous Mr. Dwinkle when he was confronted with The Transformation! He saw that the atomic funny man had been edited out of all reason. That was enough to drive him over the edge of rationality, into the abyss of sorrow and longing. It was an abyss so deep, it would force a man to give up his very sexuality. But do not fear! One day he will return to reap what had been sown for him, by the Very Large Black Man named Ulysses who haunts the dreams of Mr. Xray and Mrs. Zoombah! One day, justice will return with a bang so loud, so utterly otherworldly, that a great catharsis will take place and all of Nashville will return to a state of pure bliss!

I suspect you mean that as an insult, but your odd syntax makes it unclear.

Go away now, son; grown ups are talking.

Re: “Stephen Fincher Loves Government Handouts, Just Not for the Poor

Do YOU know what a hedonist is? The word you may be looking for is heathens.

And knowing Bill as I do, I doubt he voted for Fincher, DesJarlais, or any other of that rabble. You on the other hand...........

Re: “Whose Faith & Values Is The Tennessean Covering?

Here are some more Muslims worshipping. Perhaps the Tennessean will also run an article on them:
