CRACKER Alert - I'm on FOX 13 at 10 tonight

Yes, despite the fact that I have a face not created for HD, they asked me to tape a segment for the 10PM news regarding the school issue.  Not sure who is taking the other side, you'll just have to watch and find out!

Pro-Consolidation News

First, your humble Cracker is going up against our buddy Tom Guleff on the post-World Series game FOX 13 news tonight speaking in FAVOR of consolidation. UPDATE: our segment will be shown on the Saturday night news, we found out when we got there.

Next, an event will be held this weekend talking about the Charter, from our friend Bonny Kinney of Rebuild Government:

Commissioners Reunite for Final Push to the Polls

Memphis, TN – Commissioners who helped draft the new charter on the ballot November 2^nd will meet together this weekend to talk to the community about the importance of a new, more efficient government structure.  It will be the last time they meet before Election Day on Tuesday.

Date:   Saturday, October 30, 2010

Time:   11 a.m.

Place:  Bloomfield Full Gospel Baptist Church

             123 S. Parkway West

             Memphis, TN  38109

Bloomfield is the home church of Reverend Ralph White, who also served on the Charter Commission.   Other civic leaders, including Dr. Maxine Smith, are also scheduled to attend.

Rebuild Government is made up of concerned citizens who organized in 2009.  The purpose of Rebuild Government is to create public awareness and foster a county-wide conversation about the need for a new government.  You can learn more about Rebuild Government at www.rebuildgovernment.org.

Yeah, I Know, Where The Hell Have I Been? Well, Here's Where I Am GOING to BE!

Yes, Richard Ransom and the good folks at NewsChannel 3 invited me back to join with Richard, The ol' Watchdog, Mike Matthews, and Andrew Clarksenior of AM600 to tape Informed Sources today, it will be on Sunday night after NewsChannel 3 at 10.

We talked about the Governor's race (or lack thereof), the TN-08 race, and Afghanistan.  Watch it and they might have me back!

On to other subjects...

First, HOLY CRAP, GONERFEST started YESTERDAY?  I gotta get over there..

Back to Politics:

Well, the Gov's race was summed up perfectly today by El Jefe himself, Jeff Woods of the Nashville Scene:

Hacks and Whores Dominate Democrats for Haslam

Ok, James Harvey?  John Farris? REALLY, guys?  I know John Farris has backed away from politics to focus on the family law firm, but didya have to do this?  

James Harvey, you best believe if you EVER try to rub as a Democrat here for any race, this is going to be thrown in your face.  You don't like Mike McWherter? Fine? Endorse Mr. Pilot Oil? You best just shut the hell up, dude, or not plan to run as a Democrat for any office.

Now, no one is surprised if Will Pinkston is on that list but there are folks on this list that I am NOT happy with for being there.  James Kerley?? Ron Redwing? Felix Walker? (and NO ONE had better EVER suggest Felix for any Democratic Party business ever again, I don't care WHO he knows. Enough said.)

Mike McWherter is trailing, but he is NOT John Jay Hooker, people.  Yes, he pissed me off, and yes, I wrote in Mabel in the primary, but THAT'S WHAT A FREAKING PRIMARY IS FOR!  It's time to come together, and I see Democrats lining up at the trough whoring themselves out, all about the Benjamins.

I vote with the donkeys, but I have an elephant-like memory, and this will not be forgotten.

YO! I'm going to be on TV again tonight, FOX 13 News at 10!

I am on for a short segment of FOX 13 News at 10 with anchor Ernie Freeman and Shelby GOP chair Lang Wiseman regarding partisan County primaries; Lang suggests we get rid of them, I make a case for keeping them, with a twist.

I don't know if a video will go on their website or not, so either watch or set your DVRs for 10 PM FOX 13 News, OK?

Besides, if you are a regular reader, you KNOW how I feel already!

Without Further Ado, Here Are The Videos of My Informed Sources Appearance.

Thanks to Richard Ransom for the invite and to George Brown for putting up the videos:

Part 1, which is much longer:



Part 2

If you stayed up to see Informed Sources, Thank You

If you couldn't, I am checking with Richard Ransom to see if they are going to put the video up on WREG.COM.  We have received good response from those who saw it, many wishing it could have gone 30 minutes.

If the video does go up, I will link to it here.

The Cracker Appears on Informed Sources TONIGHT!

Yes, it's true.  Your humble Cracker, the face that cracked a thousand lenses, will be on Your Voice, Your Vote: Informed Sources with WREC600's Andrew Clarksenior, NewsChannel 3 anchor Richard Ransom and everyone's favorite Watchdog, Mike Matthews, this Sunday at 10:35 immediately following NewsChannel 3 at 10.

We taped this afternoon, and I hope I sounded coherent, I guess we'll all find out Sunday night, please watch it!  Who knows, they may even have me back!
