The TVs tend to be a fun crowd (gay and straight) while the TSs are real serious, mostly, and considering what they have in mind, you figure they would be.

Gee, you guys might cut Nathan Bedford Forrest some of the "personal growth" slack, too.

I have to admit that us confirmed heterosexuals just do not understand the drag queen phenomenon.

We had a young fellow at work decide he was he wrong gender and he started the painful process of converting himself into a woman.

He was a right nice looking as a young man. But the ugliest woman you ever saw.

Never did understand what he wanted to accomplish, but then, it was not my call.

You could not be more accurate.

One other thing, too. It is more that just a growing acceptance that the municpals are going to form and have a right to do so.

There are several members among the Elected Seven who are very genuine in their desire to improve education in Shelby County regardless of whether, in Tomeka 's words,"there are one or fifty school districts".

These are not career politicians, or those with political ambitions.

Apparently, Judge Mays does not know that his role in the merger is finished July 1st.

He said last a couple of weeks ago he might wait until September 1st to make a decisison on the expansion of the Shelby County School Board.

You better help and send him a note telling him he is finished with any oversight July 1st, because he does not realize that.

i don't understand your point about any person being elected by all the citizens. Aren't the City Council and the SCC elected by districts?

I am not saying that Ritz and whoever were not elected by the people, but they were only elected by the voters of their district, not by the combined votes of all of the citizens.

It is also an established fact that anything done by a previous legislative body can be repealed, modified, etc. That is the beauty of this wonderful democratic republic. As the late Robert Byrd said ," This body will not be ruled by the dead hand of the past."

ArlingtonPop or maybe it was Diogenes, a publicly elected official can't be held personally liable for the cost of lawsuits, when acting in their official capacity.

There will be no dismantling of the IRS. Actually, it remains to be seen whether any of the civil servants will be fired and the firing sticks.

Actually, it is really nice to our elected representatives (you know, the ones who we elect to make decisions in this democratic republic of ours) come out an subject themselves to questions by the free press ( you know, that free press that Mr. Holder apparently does not like so much)

I will tell you that talks are already underway between the Elected Seven and the county leaders. Unless Judge Mays allows the SCC to appoint six new members immediately, there is going to be a period of time, a window of opportunity, for an agreement between the county leaders and the Elected Seven.

If you really believe that the Elected Seven, as an elected body, cannot make a contract with the county leaders, file that agreement with the federal court and have it stick, you are living in a dream world.

You say three houses sold within a week in Germantown. But, you didn't say who bought them, age, race etc. Grove, the fact is that Germantown has an older population.

Frankly, it looks to me like they've done that on purpose.

So, whose your long legged Mac Daddy now?

I used to live in Chicago and was bumped a couple of times by vip's when trying to stay at the Palmer House. Even though I had confirmed reservations, I was still bumped, but, I was offered a free night sometime in the future.

I am sure that arrangements could have and should have been made to accommodate Parker.
