HallOOOOOOOOOweeeen!

OK, if you want to do some scary on line stuff then below the babble are just a few places to FLOAT into!

If you are going to get out, beat on the door and shove the old potato sack in my face then we are ready! All of the crap is wrapped. When I was a kid, (just after Lee surrendered to Grant) I remember going around in Sunset View (my neighborhood) and Mrs. Cruse would ALWAYS have these home dang made POP corn BALLS! Naturally today if a child brings home something like that first Mom tosses it into the radiation detector, then Pop runs in through the X ray unit and THEN the drug/chemical sniffing dawg has a go round. IF it checks out, it is then given to Granddaddy who is watching Everyone Loves Raymond and will eat anything placed in his knobby fingers!

At the bunker we are featuring a mixed bag of name brand candy. All guaranteed to pull a crown off on the second bite, so make sure they all go to the children!

Have a great DAY and if your office encourages everyone to come in costume, I suggest a pint of 101 rum in the parking lot to REALLY get you into the spirit!

Check out the links below, have a wonderful day and remember with all the new advances in shaving it is near impossible to get a blade in an apple anymore.

Remember who Jr. is!

El Rushbo sliced up the now famous Ford Jr. TV spot this afternoon with the skill of Daniel(see the Old Testament)! Like everyone else, he couldn't find a thing racial in the copy but he did point out how it spotlighted Jr's views on everything from his porn dealer contributions to his stand on gun control! Beautiful job!

This afternoon the spot was pulled after MSNBC spent most of yesterday trying to fill buses to head south for another march in Selma. Naturally NBC jumped into the game on their nightly news and this morning The Today Show rolled in the "reported indignation" allegedly painted by the spots reflection of Jr's beliefs.

Kids the key to getting Bob Corker elected has nothing to do with Jr. being first generation kin to the Memphis Political Mafia, or the fact that NBC along with CNN (Clinton News Network) loves the guy. It all hinges on us remembering first that Jr. has been a part of the problem in D.C. for ten years, and second that he has been joined at the hip to Teddy ("When I came back Mary Joe and the car were gone") Kennedy in the D.C. voting process. The few times he did vote it sure didn't reflect the feelings of this state, here check it out! http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/f000262/


SO, if you know of folks who are planning on voting early make sure they know the real Jr. Also if you have an elderly family member (got mom right here) and plan on taking them, don't risk a rainy or cold election day where they might not be able to get out. Tomorrow put them in the car and both of you go vote for BOB!

If Ford Jr. wins Tennessee LOSES!

Jr. is slipping!

Jr. is dropping in the polls but not enough to where we can sit back and relax. This is one slick fellow with talking points sharper than Prince Mongo's spear! OK, hold on, before you call me the R word, P.M. is one of my favorite Memphis icons, just Google him for more info. IF P.M. was running I would rent a bus and go on the road with this guy, be he isn't and Jr. is.

What can we do?

E mail everyone who votes and tell them to go early and as Ray Blanton used to say and vote OFTEN! Corker did a great job with Chattanooga so just imagine what a guy like this can do for the entire state! Jr. will say anything, promise anything and then if you elected him he will follow the Ted Kennedy school of voting just like he did in the past. Like that famous Cable Guy said…"I'd rather hunt with Chaney than ride with Kennedy!"

Pictures are mostly of the National Park, some might be from the Blount County side, and all of them remind us why the Yankees all wanta move here and why we need to keep folks like Jr. out of Washington!

FORD JR IS NOT THE WAY

Look at these great pictures of our state and then think about our future. Ford Jr. is a major cog in the Memphis political machine (see FORD FAMILY) while Bob Corker is a son of Tennessee with a clean family and personal track record.
No joke it is just that simple.

Please vote for CORKER, if Ford Jr. wins TENNESEEE loses!

Hope you like the pictures!

I bet this has been around the net a ton of times but some of them are kinda true!

FALL

Florida Game DAY

Last night MHS won, today Vandy has been beaten and although LSU did score we are lighting candles for Auburn.

After being told over and over it was TOO early for mums I bought some any dang way. Check them out as we get ready to slice a gator in about 3 hours!

FALL

Fall at last! No joke, this summer went way over the allotted 100 plus degree days, time for it to be over.

In the distant to very near future the good old Media Column may become a cyber event. I "think" those hunting it will still be able to go to hallsnews.com and click on my name for access but right now all is in the planning stages.

Upside is I will still be writing in that publication with extended space and art. The plan is a series of feature stories each month on living and or dead (personally I am pulling for the dead because they won't argue with me on little things like facts) personalities in and around Knoxville. It will be fun to branch out a bit, but it will be even more fun to do the column on line. Now it certainly will NOT be encumbered by space limitations and at the end it will be wide open for any and all comments. Because things are still in a state of flux (a T tiny little area south of Vermont) the media column may be a monthly in the paper, but either way I am sure it will be on line.


Ok, as for the rest of the week, read the new column at hallsnews.com and figure out a plan to beat Florida.

Thanks for reading the blog and the column!

BOOMSDAY..PREACHER..POLITICS

The crew you are seeing all worked for the OLD U102 (WMYU) back in the day when folks listened to radio stations and radio stations put on big events, like BOOMSDAY.

Monday evening WBIR thought it best to broadcast a tape of BOOMSDAY the day after the event and although it was one of the best fireworks shows ever seen on the river the fabricated history that belched out of the show still is stinking up my rumpus room!

A grizzled looking B 97 kid said he MCed the first BOOMSDAY and said the crowd count was around seventy five thousand folks. Truth is he may have been at the first one but I didn't see him on stage with CP AND WALKER counting down the start?

Earlier in the same broadcast two odd looking people said they were the ones who started the event, bless their hearts, I don't think they even lived in Tennessee when the first sparkler was touched off. Truth is their radio station was THE station to GIVE the show away and this years attempt by those who now own it to run the one day event into three was a giant failure!

Truths...Boomsday was started by the old JACOR Broadcasting. It was a gift to the people of Knoxville and over 150 thousand were there that first night. As the numbers grew the city tried very hard to take over the event and the local papers would never give the founding station credit in their coverage. Still the show went on and still it grew.

So what happened?


Simple, the founding company learned folks would NOT come to a concert the day before or even two days before the big show. Reason?? FOOTBALL! Friday night is HIGH SCHOOL BALL and Saturday is UT!
Also this year the act on Friday was tangled in litigation over killing a PET and filming the death! Less than 2500 folks showed to hear them sing.
On Saturday afternoon less than 300 came out in the heat to hear the bands and when the promised big screen failed to produce the UT game, most demanded their money back.

Boomsday was fine, the two days before it were a BOMB


Preacher Mull passed this morning. He not only owned a radio station in Knoxville but was the founder of the first traveling gospel singing shows. Lots of broadcast history died with him.

Last of the Tyler story hit the shopper and this morning Da Bean was on 1180 talking about it. A lack of calls this morning may have been a way of saying folks are just over it. IF a TV station picks the thing up it might grow, but chances are very slim. If you wanta see part three check it out at hallsnews.com.

Summer/politics/hallsnews!

How hot is this summer? SO HOT that my "special" tomato bush got too hot, rambled under the tall grilling table and started growing in the S H A D E! I kid you not, this thing left the patch, dashed over to the lower deck, found the shade and after getting a nice hold to the center of the table went skyward! I bought this plant a few months back at the Maryville Farmer's Market on a cold Saturday morning, after being told by a hippie that it was organically created. Fine, but she forgot to
tell me the sucker was HAUNTED! I have a great story about a neighbor whose dawg chewed up his watermelon vine to the point where his daughter had to toss it on the burn pile (southern term for a place to fire up crap the county won't haul off) and now it is hundreds of feet long and full of melons! I shall get pictures as soon has he and his wife go to work tomorrow.

NOW for the fun part!

hallsnews.com is again a MUST read this week! It has the never ending story of Tyler and his adventures as a political flack for the mayor across the river. I won't give away the ending, go read it and enjoy. I will tell you good old WATE finally bent over and talked about the series of articles in a very left handed way this morning. They have a Sunday show that isn't half what MULLS SINGING CONVENTION is but because they promoed they would talk of the Tyler saga I flat tuned in!
On their behalf they tried to have a good group in their discussion circle but kinda came up short. Some conservative woman who has a blog sat on the far left, a very fat guy who has been a spokesman for EVERYONE in the last few years in the middle and good ol Frank rounded out the tribe.

Gene did get them all to agree if TYLER is such a bad boy W H Y did the Rags hire him and WHY did he keep him? Brothers and sisters this thing is more fun that the petting zoo at the TVA@I Fair! A big old attaboy for Gene, at least he cracked the TV ego ceiling and talked about the story that has ALL of Knoxville (OK, all of the city county building) talking. I kid you not, the powers of the Gods are quaking in their shoes in anticipation of the next installment and I flat love being a bleacher rat!

Check it out at hallsnews.com

Denver,Mother,Tyler! LOL

My idea of cooking dinner involves car keys and a place where the line is very short! Tonight I did a frozen thing that faked its way into being a meal and that Denver begged for it like a raggedly man on Cumberland headed to Alabama for a job!

Naturally when he was finished he gave me that famous, WHATS YOUR POINT LOOK.



Lots going on in the media/political underworld here in Knoxville, Tennessee. Thought I would give both the town's name AND the state encase that mummified old Mike Wallace might wanta come down and get in on the investigation.

The paper I am privilege to write for (hallsnews.com) is doing a three part story concerning an insider in the county mayor's administration. Up frontI will be the first to say the "insider" has baggage and as a very young republican, privileged to shoulder running with the alledged movers and shakers of said county, reportedly took liberties with his status and reportedly made a horses behind out of himself on several occasions.

That said, this young man is now spilling the beans (as he understands said beans) to the above linked paper. IF a third of what he is saying turns out to be fact, half fact, kinda true, or a dang good rumor the foundations of the county mayor's office might need more than B-DRY to keep from cracking!

From a personal standpoint I really don't care, heck I am blessed to live across the river from the former home of the 1982 World's Fair and although I dig for spending money inside its boundaries my tired old heart is still in Maryville. Still, the expose of a politician is just great fun participate in, even from the bleachers.

Walk with me for a minute...OK, name O N E politician you would want to be seen in public with? How about one you would invite over for a burger and diet coke? SEE!! Bless their hearts most if not all are just strange fellows and ladies who if younger your mother would NEVER let you play with!

If you wanta follow this path (the Tyler story on hallsnews.com) then jump in, it is slated to be a three part series and those in the know say part two is going to be a real barn burner of a story!

PS

If you do know Mike Wallace forward this thing over to him. The local TV stations are all taking a pass cause they both got scooped and some say (not me) they are scared of the consequences! OK, so you don't know Mike, keep e mailing it and eventually someone like MSNBC or CNBC or BRAVO or Shopping With The Stars might get involved, as Andy's deputy used to say..THIS COULD BE BIG!

Media and DAWGS!

Monday!

After finding two ticks on Denver (first ever) the committee decided a trip to the dog spa for both of the kids was needed. Up this AM before 7, running dawgs outside (they never get up before 9) and then loading them into the old Buick for their appointments.

When I picked them up I mentioned I had pulled one TICK off Denver (the Golden) and there was still one very close to his eye that I couldn't get. I held, the guy went to work and after a couple of yanks he determined it was a small growth! Nothing serious but SURE nothing for a half blind old man and a strong young kid to be pulling on! I apologized to Denver and even though I made him and his bud wear the dork handkerchief home, I fixed him up with all sorts of smoked turkey and peanut butter to make up for my miss-diagnosis!

Naturally when you spend more than you would at a human spa to have the Dawgs trimmed, dipped, bathed and festooned with Yuppie rags you have to take their pictures for the blog. Right now they both just want that junk off their necks but their Grandmother loves it so they are stuck until after she goes to bed.


Media

Early this morning while hanging for the dawgs to do their thing I had the TODAY SHOW on. I hate the TODAY SHOW but someone had fired it up and I was kinda watching the door more than the TV.
Anyway they had a group of experts telling us why HILLA would be the Dem candidate for President and also why she would WIN! After I heard (from my vantage point at the door I couldn't see the TV) one "expert" quote a poll that said she was a polarizing candidate but not near as bad as GW, I had to move closer for a look. Brothers and sisters, the EXPERTS the network were using were all members of the Hillary For President Campaign! I kid you N O T!

Now mark your calendar 8 21 06 as THE DAY NBC launched their candidate for the leader of the Free World! Only thing that would have made it worse would have been if Katie had still been working for this tribe.

Want real news? SO DO I!
Know where to get it?
Please tell me cause you can't get it from the alphabet networks

November should be a wild ride!

Denver takes a walk

href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2254/1827/1600/NEWDENwk4.jpg">

























Good Old Denver took a walk around the Rockford Bunker tonight and confided in me why he still votes republican. He said even though GW has stumbled at times, the Elite Drive-By Media coupled with the John Deans and Teddy Kennedys of this world just scare him to death! He has a point!
PS

He really wanted to include a picture of the Lilly in the front yard because the box it came in said it was a Wyoming Lilly and he knew his grandmother would love to see it on the blog.

TOmattters,evening,mom

Mother, Molly and I went for a ride at dark to hunt deer. It was too dark cause none of our eyes could spot one in the twilight, but we still had a fine time! Before we left she checked out the GIANT tomato plant and gave a thumbs up to the fact that I had already planted some seeds in a clay pot for next year. She also told me she marked off a place in the laundry room that will provide just the right amount of light for them to grow over the winter. She then added she has picked a spot for them next spring! As we drove along we covered 57 years of memories and although both of us had forgotten more than a few facts, we really enjoyed filling in the cracks with made up thoughts that fit much better than the truth!

MORE GOLF!

Golf Thoughts!

It is an evil game, filled with ups and downs, but mostly downs.

It is a game that you will never win.

It is a game that everyone and I am talking EVERYONE plays better than you.

It is a game of anger and sadness.

It is a game that looks so simple but it lies.

It is a game that ONE just ONE good hole will draw you back.

It is a well...great damn game!
