He leaves behind the noun âcorkerââa payoff offered and accepted in return for an unconscionable and unprincipled change of vote or course of action. Itâs a verb too.
former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) has just over 8 months to mobilize ever breathing thinking person in the state of Tennessee
- on paper it should probably be more do-able than Doug Jonesâs upset Senate victory,
but loony as she is - Marsha Blackburn is going to be fully embraced by the GOP and there wonât be stories of her trolling the shopping malls trying to pick up boy-toys
it is going to take a disciplined - well planned - relentless grinding massive effort
Marsha, Marsha, MarshaâŚ
Trumpâs fall to 35% was discouraging
invited Marsha Blackburn to breakfast this morning. We had a good discussion about a variety of issues that we both care about and how we might work together to make the Senate a more effective institution,â Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN),
What a bunch of BS.
Blackburn couldnât qualify to be trumps lap puppet.
You might think that going to California, Texas or New York exposes you to a lot of crime. But in fact it was Tennessee that had the nationâs highest violent crime rate last year.
#10. Tennessee (TIE)

Tennessee consistently ran a National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin metropolitan statistical area had the highest rate of illicit drug use in the state.
The state is set to receive $13.8 million to address the prescription opioid epidemic in 2017
Ranks in the top five US states in terms of substance abuse rates.
Around 800 meth laboratories are believed to be operating in Tennessee at any given time.
The GOP continues to run on crazy!
Being forced out of his seat by a woman so stupid and fatuous she makes Trump look like Socrates by comparison. Thatâs gotta sting.
I was all set to write something about being generally disappointed in Corker (re: calling out T-boy and then deciding to âplay niceâ), but I just realized that in bowing out of this race he may have just given the Democrat running the best possible chance of taking this seat.
So, Iâll save the irritation with him the next time he does something overtly lame.
corker as a write-in candidate?
Senator Corker
Ainât no New Yorker
Mercer buys him everything
To keep him in style
(to anyone out there who is a fan of 1920âs music)
Oh, please, just go away, you sawed-off, spineless, hypocrite weather vane.
Thats the huge sad truth behind country music. All that good old boy, pretty girl, simple life, small town bliss stuff is a total fantasy. Deep country is full of boredom, drugs, obesity, crime, and more drugs. And it has been since at least 1973, when I was living in it.
I retired from the northeast to Nashville area thinking life would be cheaper and more laid back.
Wrong on every count. Worse on every count.
Secret code down there in Tenn. When someone says âGod Bless Youâ, there really are telling you to âGo F**K Yourselfâ
a 60 Year old women told me that in a parking lot of costcoâs when I almost got run over by a much older woman that said, âGod Bless Youâ. She enlightened me about what she meant. lol
Took 5 years to get the hell out of hell and way up into the northeast. lol
More snow, but much happier, lol
âBless your heartâ means âGo straight to hellâ
