Wondering who the targets are to stop the Reid bill? The RNC has set up “Health Care Flip Floppers” to help stop the seven Senate Democrats who are opposed to the bill but will vote for it to go to...
Toward the end of the summer (which wasn’t all that long ago here in Tennessee!), my friend Jason and I took a walk through the grounds at the Tennessee Aquarium after having lunch downtown. I’m used to seeing butterflies inside...
I know this question is about 3 years late, but who is still blogging for personal reasons vs. using Facebook or MySpace to document your life goings-on? What is the purpose of having a blog anymore?...
Like its namesake, Patten Towers invokes a lot of local color, and part of its success stems from the Chattanooga references scattered throughout the album’s 11 tracks.
Rock bands have a penchant for redundancy. They often recycle the jargon of their...
…he just doesn’t know it. But, hey, he responded to a Twitter post by one of the @PredFans participants! Oh, and if you didn’t know, he’s a HUGE New Jersey Devils fan and a pretty active Twitter user.

Jerry Garcia is famously credited with saying, “Somebody has to do something, and it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.” The Grateful Dead stepped up to the plate a number of times, and did things one wouldn’t...
This just in from the AJC UGA VII passed away tonight from a heart attack at age 4. My deepest condolences to Georgia Dawgs fans. So very sad for all who are fans of Georgia and all who...
When we drive around town, I usually have the radio on and it is usually tuned to J103, the local CCM station. One rather popular song that keeps popping up in their playlist is Praise You in this Storm by...
M27- Apple Core Nebula on 11/19/09
I’ve decided to just call M27 the Apple Core Nebula. It’s also known as TNFKATDN or “The Nebula Formerly Known As The Dumbbell Nebula”. It was a pretty nice night, though cold, until about 11,...
* post phoned in because I MISS my blog more than rain loves a just-washed car and I had to at least visit my compose window. It might seem quiet here at the ol' PENSIEVE, but I've been writing "everywhere...

The piece gives an in-depth look at how Auburn’s using texting technology to make Jordan-Hare a more entertaining, and safer venue. At the beginning of the season, all ticket holders were made aware of a...
There are plenty of GOP crazies in Congress, but at the top of the heap is Rep. Virginia Foxx. Here she goes again, this time stating civil rights and progressive environmental legislation were Republican bills and the Democrats were...
There’s a good chance that a small part of hell froze over for Jezebel staffers today. After the New York Times interviewed the stylist behind “Wardrobegate,” the gossip site sort of posted a compliment and begrudgingly titled the post, “One...

Last night, I caught the end of O’Reilly when he was featuring Bob Dylan’s Christmas album.
Yes, that’s right. Bob Dylan. Christmas music. Santa hat.
Does this not remind you of Bill Nighy’s character in Love Actually?
At least Dylan isn’t releasing this...
“the Lord put roads for travelling: why He laid them down flat on the earth. When He aims for something to be always a-moving, He makes it long ways, like a road or a horse or a wagon, but when...

Dearest Friends,
Medium here. You might remember us as Coptix. But that was a long time ago and in a neighborhood far, far away (actually, it was St. Elmo). Now it’s year later and time for another brobdingnagian (look it up)...
As a follow-up to the wrap-up, here's Erik Schelzig's story. (HT: Tom Humphrey) Here is a profile of Memphis' Sen. Jim Kyle by Jackson Baker. (HT: A.C. Kleinheider) And then there was this little matter concerning Third District congressional campaigns....
Washington (CNN) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday unveiled a sweeping health care bill that would expand health insurance coverage to 30 million more Americans at an estimated cost of $849 billion over 10 years. Reid and other Senate...
Monday night, I got an excited phone call and a tweet from a co-worker. On her drive home, she heard my blog mentioned on the Mark Levin show! Immediately, I called my mom to see if she had listened since...
It’s not very often that you get to see a political smackdown like the feud between Palin and Nicolle Wallace. It’s interesting to watch, particularly when it involves the strategy behind the infamous Katie Couric interview.
Sadly, I haven’t been able...
By over $127 Billion in ten years. 98% of Americans will be insured. How about that? Leave it to the Dems to solve our health care crisis. Leave it to the Dems to bring back fiscal responsibility...
A while back when the Tennessee General Assembly called for a special meeting regarding liquor laws, I was concerned that this was an attempt to kill the issue by giving it a little bit of attention. The issue seems to...
My friend Heather is expecting (yeah!) and she said I could take some maternity pictures of her someday soon. Last week I took a few impromptu shots at the playground and I really like how this one turned out.

There’s been a lot to write about this week. However, I also need to make a living. In an effort to clear out my queue, here are interesting links that I’ve wanted to post. Basically, this is a round-up of...
Someone has finally discovered food as an alternate source of filling his belly. He’s been eating jars of baby food like it’s going out of style. And the finger foods we put on his tray are eagerly enjoyed.

I've started a new map that will show where incidents happen. It's far from exhaustive right now, but is more of an exercise to see what could be helpful in illustrating these events. Crosses indicate injuries, triangles with exclamation points...
Mostly none of my business. My tax dollars have played a role in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, so I guess I bear a smidgeon of responsibility. But really, it’s the business of people who live thousands of miles from me....
Since I live-tweeted the event, I didn't concentrate on taking the best notes for the blog. Besides, Matt Wilson's article captured the essentials, and Nordia Epps posted a brief summary for WDEF. About the only things to add are some quotes....
During his closing remarks at the Hamilton County Democratic Party’s annual Estes Kefauver Dinner, Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester exhorted the gathered party members to support Paula Flowers in her bid for the Third District congressional seat Monday evening.
