I recently posted about the MBJ’s “Best Chef” contest. Apparently it’s no longer going on. The Memphis Business Journal has the full story. In short, most of the chefs involved signed a letter stating that they would not like to take part. Excerpted: As the Memphis restaurant scene has continued to develop, especially with the [...]

My previous article on the subject got a ton of responses, so I decided to email the Memphis branch of Planned Parenthood for their input. Me: First and foremost, does this decision represent the end of the fight for PP, or does PP intend to contest the decision? We have lodged a formal protest with the [...]

See the CA article here for the story. In short, the Shelby County Commission has decided to choose a religious group to provide family planning. A religious group that not only won’t provide abortions, or refer patients to someone who will perform an abortion, they also won’t administer “emergency contraceptive”, meaning the morning after pill. [...]

In case you forgot, Willie Herenton is still black. That’s pretty much still the entirety of his platform, apparently the same unchanged racist bullshit he started with. He recently reinforced his position that all black people should support him because he’s black with this moving commentary: If any African American stood with Cohen today as [...]

And very little else. TheoGeo mentioned Herenton’s website being terrible, and I finally checked it out. Wow. The Angelfire style website is pretty impressive in it’s own right, but you really have to get down to the content to make a judgment. I mean, “Catch-22” would still be a great book if it were scrawled [...]

On occasion I get bored and go through the “Memphis” blogrolls on a variety of local sites like thememphisblog, theogeo, scribblescrawl, etc. Sooner or later I find myself on Steve’s Nude Memphis Blog. I read over it, generally feel a little dumber for my trouble, and move on, but hey, there’s nothing wrong with someone [...]

A few things have been pissing me off, so I’ll just consolidate it into one big bitching, whining post. If you own a business downtown, read this over and over and over until it makes sense. Hours of Operation For the love of god, set some hours you can deal with and stick to them. [...]

Yes, we get it. The other guy is a fag lovin’, gun hatin’, edumacated baby killer, who wants to set all criminals free, and you hate fags and love babies until they commit a crime, at which point you will kill them, while you masturbate not only ON your gun but WITH your gun. Oh, [...]

Yes you; the bitch who, upon seeing me standing outside my building with both arms full of groceries, waiting on my girlfriend to come let me in, slammed the door shut and said “I can’t let you in!”. I hope you drown in a bucket of AIDS blood. Did it ever occur to you that [...]

For the love of god, at least include price, the year, trim level, mileage, drivetrain, and one decent picture. This is the bare fucking minimum. No one is going to waste their time “Emailing for price”, you insane faggot. Are you embarrassed to list your asking price? If so, you probably won’t get it. Do [...]
