Oh, Scheiss, I forgot about the proposed Ordinances

About 360, which A) establishes the offices of county Sheriff, Assessor, Trustee, Register and County Clerk as elected offices but B) changes the term limits to THREE successive terms (you voted for TWO, remember?), Tom Guleff at JoeCitizens.com rightly calls BS on this backdoor term limit extender:

We encourage voters to vote “NO” on Ordinance #36, and send this Trojan horse at galloping speed back to the Shelby County Board of Commissioners so they can focus on the provisions of creating offices and end their backdoor approach to weakening our current term limits.

Freakin' A, brother.

Bravo to Chris Matthews!

Go head, pick yourself up off the floor, I'll wait.

Ready? OK, to see what I'm talking abut, go over to Pesky's place and watch Tweety verbally disembowel a right-wing noise jockey from LA, you'll be glad you did, it's that good.

Dumb bastard didn't even know what appeasement meant....

All right, we've got some SERIOUS deprogramming to do!!!!

WTF? Marrero? MULROY? MYRON?? Is this BE-NICE-TO-HAROLD Weekend???

Look, legislators (and some of you represent me, BTW) the DLC represents all that is WRONG with the Democratic Party in America, and it is what Democrats voted to run away FROM in 2006, remember?

Most (if not ALL) ran on platforms considered too LIBERAL or PROGRESSIVE for the DLC, and, unless this is payback to HFJ for something or other, y'all don't need to be there. Hell, they may just run you out for being Dirty F***ing Hippies.

Commissioner Jackson is friends with our ex-Congressman and represents an area more comfortable with the DLC philosophy, so I'm not going to bust him up for this, because some day he may be Congressman in his area.

You Shelby County folks KNOW better, and y'all just need to get ready to take some lumps over this.

H/T to Kleinheider!

Brassmask and Autoegocrat dissect the "2007 Political Conspiracy"

B rocks the house HARD with this lengthy but precise post.

Please go read all of it, even though it's long (print it out if you have to), because it tears apart the cases of both Mayor Herenton and Richard Fields regarding this ludicrous tale of a potential sex scandal.

Then, back it up with Autoegocrat's excellent commentary on B's essay, they're both so good that I'm only linking to them, you need to read them both.

Go do it, it's the weekend and you have time.

Then, you'll understand why the whole thing is bogus and the last act of desperate people, and I'm NOT talking about Gwendolyn Smith!

UPDATE: Bob at 55-40 has a terrific take on this as well.
