Re: “Tennessee Tries to Bully Berry College”
Ah, the good old college days of yore, where I learned to ignore the light that illuminated my inner sanctum. I must admit that my brain frazzled when confronted with the ad hominem methods of circumspection that my professors often employed. I can't blame them though, for they were taught at a young age to bury their innate humanity, their very being, under the surreal skies of academic morbidity. My mind was so unpacked after classes, that the feral hedgehogs of the underworld would come out of their subterranean hiding places to mock my existence. Those are evil beings though, and I would ignore their taunts until, defeated, they would slither back into their holes of darkness! So do not back down, Berry College. Hold to your principles on this billboard and give these clueless government bureaucrats the proverbial finger! You will be happy that you did when you are sitting in That Happy Place, sipping cognac with the Bohemian power-brokers and laughing at the obtuseness of the rest of the human race.

Watching Bobs attempt mental jujitsu is entertaining.
Please, keep on; you're hilarious! And also so not a racist! (Guess which of those statements are sarcastic.)
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
When I first made mayonnaise, I didn't like it because it did not taste like Hellman's. ( The recipe did not call for any sweetener.) I thought I was doing something wrong. Then I tasted Duke's. It tasted homemade.I use both now. Duke's for sandwiches and I have to use Hellman's for potato salad and layered salad.
Nicki. Try adding a couple of drops of ballpark mustard to the Hellman's Light in addition to the lemon. Also, if you gently heat it, it makes a pretty good low-fat Hollandaise.

yeah I'm glad there is a season two only so I can read your recaps.
Re: “Racist Who Attended Racist Conference in Tennessee Still Being Racist Back at School”
NO you simpleton! What I said is that he singled out the target as BLACK predators, thus indicating that he was unconcerned with white predators or felt they did not exist (which is utter B S). Most people not wearing hoods on their head or swastikas on their arms would prefer that ALL predators (red, white, black, pinstripe) be removed! Are you totally unable to understand inferred racism? You seem to employ it quite often!
Re: “WSMV Exposes Metro's Makeshift Toxic Landfill (And a Scalp for Ken Jakes!)”
Well I supported Dean, considering that he was the only viable candidate IMHO! I admit that I have been VERY disappointed on both this and his biased support for Great Hearts. Perhaps if a candidate that has more to offer the progressive needs of Metro, and is viable, I can support them!
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I originally took exception to your comment that using Duke's wasn't "southern". Duke's is originally from SC, while Hellman's originated in a deli in NYC, and Kraft is based out of Chicago.
I'm not a big mayo person, but when I do use it I use Duke's. I don't like the added sweetness of the others, and I think that Duke's has more of a rich, yolky taste. (Hence the more like homemade comment).
Re: “Racist Who Attended Racist Conference in Tennessee Still Being Racist Back at School”
@Jimbo: So, you want white people to leave black predators alone? That's a win win for everybody in the neighborhood. Do you not think there might be some black people that would gives thanks to anybody who removed black predators from the streets?
Re: “Tennessee Tries to Bully Berry College”
Bob Keim - establish an operation? It is a billboard; it is an advertisement. Where is the gray area - there is no operation in TN.
Never Fear - There aren't a lot of out-of-state colleges advertising on TN roadways, much less "hundreds". This is, apparently, one of the reasons. There is an established law and TN wants to enforce it.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm a Duke's user, now that I know, but I have to say, I really still like Hellman's. I even think the light Hellman's is acceptable, with a squeeze of lemon added.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
You've got mayonnaise people and mustard people and seldom do they meet or agree condimentation. I'm a mustard people and would rather set my chest on fire than eat mayo of any type. Mayo on french fries, that's disgusting, no way to start a day.
Heavily infused horse radish mustard....MAN!!! Thats a condiment!!!!
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive’”
your recaps are so much more entertaining than the actual show, thanks for the laughs.
Re: “Tennessee Tries to Bully Berry College”
Why the concern for this Berry College? Is this some great Constitutional crises within
our state over one of hundreds of so so colleges wanting to increase the head count?
Re: “Stephen Fincher Loves Government Handouts, Just Not for the Poor”
Matthew 25:35-40
New International Version (NIV)
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm a very loyal fan of Hellmann's and will never ever ever use Kraft. Never tried Duke's but I guess I'll have to in the name of mayogate research. I'll throw another one in the mix with Bama Mayonnaise. That's my true favorite, but hard to find in TN.
Re: “WSMV Exposes Metro's Makeshift Toxic Landfill (And a Scalp for Ken Jakes!)”
THIS "tree-hugger" didn't vote for Dean--either time. Greens do not support greedy corporatists--unlike those on the right.
Re: “Tennessee Tries to Bully Berry College”
"some states charge out-of-state colleges money to send emails to residents of the state. ..That doesn't excuse the blatant money-grab"
Sounds like government is trying to operate like a business. (sarcasm alert)
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. :)

Nope! I am right!
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
If you're intent on being a mayonnaise snob, you really should make your own, but if you want to be a lazy mayonnaise snob you can probably justify using anything you like, up to and including Miracle Whip. Of course, if unsweetened mayonnaise tastes weird to you you can always sprinkle some sugar on your tomato sandwiches to compensate.
That said, the only mayonnaise they sell at Costco in less than a vat size is Duke's, which happens to be a perfectly servicable mayonnaise--especially for pimiento cheese.
