Ron Paul in Local Press
The local (Knoxville) Ron Paul meetup group was featured in the KNS today. I feed guilty that I have not been to a single event that the meetup group works. I really need to correct that. I’m on their mailing list and keep up, but just haven’t made it out. However, one cool thing about [...]
Not Even Local News
SVD has a pretty funny post over at KtownLowDown about “Local News“. Well what do I find featured in the KNS the very next day? A real scoop: Kenny Chesney Still Loves The Vols. Look, I get it that offbeat stories are interesting. When somebody does something really stupid or odd, it’s going to attract [...]
(Hopefully Short) Life In Prison
From the KNS A Knox County sports referee who used his position to lure child molestation victims into his home will die in prison. Hopefully this death will be administered by the most sadistic son of a bitch in the penal system. Bonus points if it occurs within the first week, lessening this walking fart’s [...]
Barbie Cummings Trooper Indicted
The KNS tells us that former Tennessee State Trooper who received a favor from Knoxville based porn star Barbie Cummings will be prosecuted, even though the work she performed was pro bono… James Randy Moss turned himself in to Wilson County authorities in Middle Tennessee this morning to face a sealed indictment on charges of [...]
Naughty Pictures of Knox County Teacher Being Investigated
From the KNS: School security chief Steve Griffin said this morning that his department scoured the web after they received information Friday relating to photographs of Inskip Elementary School teacher Melinda England. Get ready for an onslaught of this. I predict that “nude teacher pictures” will be the new “doing it with the teacher” in [...]
County Commission Guilty. Now What?
Now that the KNS trial over Knox County Commission’s violation of Tennessee’s Sunshine Law has been decided, what should we expect next? And no, I’m not referring to whether or not Scott Moore will (be asked to) step down or not, or how the seats will eventually be filled. I’m more interested in knowing if [...]
Verdict in Sunshine Law–Violations Occurred
From the KNS Jurors this afternoon said commissioners did violate the Tennessee Open Meetings Act in the way they chose 12 replacements for term-limited officeholders. Now what? How do we fix it? What is the fall out? Does anyone want to vote for me? ***UPDATE*** From WBIR Chancellor Fansler announced he will release a written [...]
Cigarette Smuggling Surveillance Starts in Tennessee
From the KNS: Starting today, state Department of Revenue agents will begin stopping Tennessee motorists spotted buying large quantities of cigarettes in border states, then charging them with a crime and, in some cases, seizing their cars. I can go so many different directions with this one… Do I make the comparison to the Dukes [...]
Constitution Day — Creating Solid C Students Nationwide
The KNS says that a study reports 51 percent of high school students questioned had not heard of the day when they are required by law to learn about the Constitution. The occasion, created by Congress in 2004, usually is observed on or around Sept. 17, the day the document was adopted in 1787. There’s [...]
It’s That Time of Year Again
Local people will hate me for writing this, and most non-locals won’t get why it’s a big deal. It is really sad funny, but I didn’t know that football season started today until about 30 minutes before the UT game. This is what is considered the real football season around here by the way, not [...]
