>>such as a portion of an existing tax or fee that would be directed to the fund<<
A liberal wanting to increases taxes. Whoda thunk it??????

Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
>>The new governing mindset is based on cronyism and ignorance<<
Tell us again the name of the guy Gov. Bredesen named to head the TN board of Regents whom doesn't even have a Master's Degree? I can't recall his name. The job description was written so as fit his (& only his) resume` to a "t".
I also don't recall virtually ANY outrage over former House Speaker Naifeh's wife being a lobbiest doing business with the state?
Libtards crack me up in here. Y'all act like there's NEVER been an iota of graft, corruption or incompetence with a Dim administration or pol (go look up the golf course & business park, etc. built in Naifeh's & Wilder's district for starters) in TN, EVER. Y'all can't seem to remember Ray Blanton & his being REMOVED from office early due to pardon selling.
For the slow-witted (i.e. liberals), no one is saying Haslam is the greatest Gov since Ellington. But he's sure as hell by no means the idiot nor the crook liberals wish him to be. Too bad. Enjoy the next four years!!!!!
Re: “Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller Coming, Boldly and Freshly, to the Ryman”
'' Liberals were no friends of freedom seeking Europeans and it was conservatives who caused the Berlin Wall to come down. Left up to liberals, the Soviet Union would still be in existence and Iran would still be holding American hostages.'
' i LOLed so hard at your hero ray gun , and your assumptions he and neo cons caused the communism to crumble, really idiot, really?, it was the communism and his own weight that caused the natural death, ray gun had no influence at all..also you have to take responsability and your neo cons, and ray gun, of causing massive killings in central america,, more than 200, 000 killed by death squads,(Rios Mont) in guatemala, (ARENA) in el salvador, and the contras in nicaraugua, seems your stupid trolling and revisionist history is a little hazy, but that is ok,,dementia is taking over your decrepit ass,, you just got served, self serving asshole, now go and take your medicine , and call the nurse to change your diaper..
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
>>>loss of cultural identity ... coupled with its decline in the quality of its residents
Uh, and you actually think East Nashville is representative of an area of town devoid of cultural identity? Wow.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
A few updates to my post: Jim Goad isn't so old; his grumpy, semi-veiled racism only comes across that way. And TakiMag, which I was also unfamiliar with, is clearly WAAAAAY far-right propaganda, wrapped in a more smiley-faced, alt press magazine style. Unfortunately, their stable of smiley faces includes John Derbyshire, Michelle Malkin, Patrick Buchanan, and a buncha other "racial realist" VDARE weirdos. From their perspective, multiculturalism of any kind is bad, but I'm sure they'll find places with the acceptable level of whiteness they seek if they keep on lookin'! So Nashville came up short in that regard, to Jim Goad? Well, gosh darn it! How dang tragic!
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
The author of that article called children "mulatto", spoke of someone as being of "Hindu" descent (Hindu is not a race), and used the n-word with a w thrown in front. And some Pith commenters seem to think that's just dandy. I love this city, but it's y'all, not poor folks in East Nashville, who make me ashamed.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
Also, is it any surprise Betsy Phillips is a fucking hamplanet?
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
You're responding to something he didn't type. A bit daft, aren't you?
Before you impotently rage more, tell us how Nashville currently (NOT historically) stands out. You can also tell us how Nashville benefits from the seemingly teeming white trash wiggers.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
Do we actually have commenters suggesting that Nashville used to in fact be a Lil Abner Cartoon, but it's gone downhill? What a read on how things used to be..
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
If it dissuades liberals from moving to or visiting Nashville, this article is worth its weight in gold.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
Sheesh, talk about not reading the article that carefully; it's not like he spent 72 hours in Nashville yet all of you shitdicks bitch about the 10 minutes he spent in a convenience store. They'll appreciate the hits either way. You just aided and abetted the very man who rustled your jimmies.
Betsy, the burden of proof is on you to show exactly where this gentrification you speak of takes place and how it refutes a single claim Jim made. Nashville's apparent loss of cultural identity (burden of proof is also on you to show how Nashville currently stands out) coupled with its decline in the quality of its residents stand as the crux of his article.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
You and Jim Goad were made for each other.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
So I said, "Jim, my boy, you really want to know Nashville? Just head on back across the river and spend ten minutes in a convenience store. And take a condom - you never know...."
After writing the above I clicked the link to the article. He pretty much nailed it unless those people he described are just visiting. That must be it.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
If this is a pic of Betsy, she understands the poor...sorry, she understands poor dieting.

Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
That was shockingly racist from beginning to end. Ugh. Never come back to Music City, jerk.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
Hey feller. I was just a readin' this here article from my porch and me and my coon hound was a little cornfused. Now, I live raht cheer in Nashville, Tennessee and I ain't never 'sperienced what you been writin' 'bout. It's all sweet tea and biscuits from my point o' gander. You must surely have had yer head up yer keyster not to see the beauty that surrounds our humble lil' town. Well, heck any city gonna have a little riff raff but my summations is this, friend: I am happier than a possum in pink panties you done written a stinker article on Nashville. It'll sho' nuff keep the likes of you from lolly gaggin' 'round these parts. GO ON GIT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
So his travelogue goes something like this: "I left Atlanta only to find negroes in Nashville." Cool story, bro.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
Why bother traveling if your entire thing is to stay in the crappiest part of every city you go to and write about how much it sucks? As he alludes to, any city in America is going to look exactly the same from that perspective.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
"You can also tell us how Nashville benefits from the seemingly teeming white trash wiggers."
Hey, now. That's no way to talk about Fan Fair.
