Never Boring in Memphis

Herenton Rips "White Media" in Memphis
Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton has officially filed for re-election, and his campaign has started with a huge controversy. Herenton denies that any of his statements have caused racial troubles in this city. He says "the white media" is guilty of playing the race card. The Mayor and 3 On Your Side Watchdog Mike Matthews got into a pretty good little confrontation over this issue, and he has the story.

Last Wednesday, July 4th, a family of local Memphis-type folks loaded 14 of their loved ones into a small fishing boat and headed out onto the lake. Predictably, the boat sank. A little girl drowned, as apparently none of the morons swam very well or else they didn't notice she was there. So the local DA is considered filing criminal charges against the owner of the boat, basically because both he and his entire family are complete idiots. I don't know when it became a criminal offense to be dumb and suffer a tragedy because of it, but I think it sets a horrible precedent and solves nothing. They were dumb and lost a child because of it. They'll still be dumb after being bankrupted and imprisoned for being dumb. Nothing accomplished and no one satisfied. Politics as usual in this new progressive America.

Meanwhile, our very own beloved state senator Ophelia Ford is being indicted again. Apparently there is some sort of insurance fraud issue or something. I don't even know what they said because I don't care. The drug-addicted fruit-cake will get off somehow, as they always do, and be back in the Senate once again, screaming at random people about death certificates, how to benefit from insurance fraud, how to benefit from dead registered voters, and being generally unedumacated in her divafied opinion.

Yay Memphis!
