Volunteer Tailgate Party
Here is the current Volunteer Tailgate Party. After literally minutes of hard work and exhaustive research on my part, I’ve put together the finest things that the Rocky Top Brigade has to say about life, the universe and everything.
Rex rescues a pterodactyl. Yes, you read that right, a prehistoric bird.
Barry takes on Confederate symbols and the tenth amendment and interprets the amendment thusly:
it seems to me mostly the amendment says that where there is not a specific federal regulation, the states are free to create their own statutes.
I, of course, think it means that whatever privileges are not granted to the federal government remain with the states and the citizens.
Barry also has the misfortune of going through his family’s first encounter with real live skinheads. Bummer.
Troy bids farewell to his uncle Buddy. He also ponders aging and relevancy of things past in this thought provoking piece.
BA (of A-Team fame) tackles incentive pay.
The venerable Donald Sensing questions whether Democrats are really liberals. And, in the interest of fair and balanced reporting, he delves into whether Bush is really conservative.
Guy Montag alerts us to the NYT 9/11 scam, which evokes the almost always guaranteed to be used for political gain eminent domain (which is not a white rapper). He draws our attention to Hatch’s (again, not a white rapper though he does appear to have some mad skillz on da mic) proposal to rid DC of its draconian gun ban.
The always affable Les Jones enlightens us as to how guns in the hands of citizens can deter terrorists and some good all around quotes.
RTB’s other Barry takes on UraniumGate with the strategic (though seemingly random) use of bold fonts, underlined fonts, and ill-advised line breaks.
Rich talks about something that is near and dear to my heart, jerks. Why is it near and dear to my heart? Because I am a jerk, just not the kind he’s talking about. That type is offensive to us genuine jerks. Underachievers!
Deb over at Sugarfused is pimping for some bling bling. Seriously, if you go to Amazon from her site, she gets credit. Someone may as well profit off my mad clicking.
Jane gives us the skinny on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Of course, why would straight men need Queer Eyes? We usually get married and go through the same thing on our own, without all the stereotypes.
Manish draws some darn convincing parallels between Islamic terrorists and Nazis. Actually, my conclusion is that terrorism is a war on jealousy. How do you fight against that?
SouthKnoxBubba details Graham’s economic plan, which seems OK except for that tax fairness bit. As if? No one should pay 40%, not even evil millionaires.
Here, your humble host points out what bastards management can be. And here I tell you all about either 1) lying cops or 2) lying reporters.
The above were the submitted articles. The following were picked at my leisure:
Ahh, screw them if they’re too good to submit stuff. See, I really am a jerk.
Update: Thomas submits this entry about 12 words, not 16. And this entry about RAGA extortion.
Update2: CJ addresses Kobe Bryant’s situation.

Say Uncle
Thanks for hosting the RTB TG party and for singling out my post for it’s unique aesthetic appeal8^)

Dang, I always forget to submit stuff for the VTP. Of course, I always forget to link to the VTP too, so I guess that’s fair.
But folks are welcome to visit my blog anytime. Currently, I’m deconstructing the Left’s attempt to create a scandal, and posting lots of stuff related to Lance Armstrong, Tyler “Nails” Hamilton and the Tour de Lance.

I have an edit feature, so just tell me what you want entered 🙂

I’d be happy to host one or more VTPs in September. Sorry I missed this one.
Late entries for this one: Twelve words (disagree about Uraniumgate); RAGA followup (GOP Attorneys General say “trust us” re fundraising from corporations).

Thursday Musings
I woke this morning with a wicked sore throat around 3:00 A.M, and slept fitfully for the next few hours until time to get up for work. By then my tonsils were so swollen I could barely swallow and I…

Either my last post was too subtle for people to understand, or too long, or perhaps both. I figured I would get at least one comment or link, but disappointment is the undercurrent to life. On the brighter side of things, Michael Totten has finally go…
