      <![CDATA[<br>
     Should the Bel Meade CC also have a Mexican-American, an Asian, one each of the LGBTs, and a Muslim imam? Before we worry about membership in a good ol' boys club with a low rate of misdeeds among its members let's investigate the black judges mentioned and see if any of them had links to a known organization of corruption, ACORN.

      <![CDATA[To devastating effect, Sen. Ted Kennedy grilled Puryear not just on his work for CCA and the homicides in its prisons, but on the racial makeup of the Belle Meade Country Club to which he belonged, as well as the separate status it accords women. The complaint against him, Paine says, is the outgrowth of Friedmann's campaign against the club and CCA.<br>

      <![CDATA[In this day of multiculturalism, is it not fair when there has been  a  BET  on television for years, and some of the best television I have found while channel surfing happens to be in a language I don't understand (Spanish), that some would like to have a refuge from forced validation of others? I don't qualify for membership at Belle Meade, but I would like to be able to go somewhere that people do not insist on showing that they have underware on, saggin'.

How can you respect an organization that doesn't respect women or blacks by providing them the same opportunity to be full members with voting rights like white men? And yes, we do have freedom of association in this country.

      <![CDATA[Judge Paine has had a distinguished career - he was one of few judges to sue the Administrative Office of the Courts back in the day, and has worked hard to obtain the position of Chief Judge over Bankruptcy Court in the Middle District. <br>
<br>
It's a shame that now, so close to his retirement, he will be remembered as the judge who was a member of a racist and misogynistic country club, and for defending that membership despite obvious discrimination at the club.

      <![CDATA[The real deal in the delay behind attorney David Ewing's application may be from his marriage to Alice Randall, author of the 'Gone with The Wind' parody 'The Wind Done Gone' of a few years ago. Can't imagine that the club members want to hang out with a man who had the shameless audacity to marry someone who dared to satirize the Great Southern Epoch with a straight face and writing hand.
