Progressive Politics from Memphis

  • Sound and Fury…

    Cracker, you’re literally dripping with outrage, an image I could do without. Yeah, I smacked you around a little, but my reasoning was sound, if snarky. Sound enough, in fact, for you to not even mention it in your “response”. Sucks to lose an argument doesn’t it? Allow me, if you will, the opportunity to…

  • SCDP Purity Test

    I’ve been thinking about this post over at LWC a bit, and while I understand this wasn’t the intent, it kind of comes off as character assassination.
