Supposedly there’s a Fair Board meeting tomorrow (Tuesday, January 6, 2009). But the Fair web site doesn’t yet have an agenda posted.
As I mentioned earlier, one would almost get the impression that they don’t want the public to know when they’re meeting.

Larry Woody, in an article published on the Nashville City Paper’s web site, says the Fairgrounds track is on life support, and the plug may about to be pulled.
Woody lays the blame on several entities: City Hall (via the Fair Board), the economy, and race fans. I’d add one more group to that list: [...]

Sometimes I come up with ideas that kind of surprise me. I wonder why in the world no one has ever thought of them before.
For example, back in the late 70’s I had the idea of having a camera or two at rock concerts and projecting the images onto a big screen for the folks [...]

With the arrest of the Illinois governor after an investigation by US attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, there’s been some speculation that Obama would fire him along with the other US attorneys when he takes office.
George Bush took all kinds of heat for firing 8 US Attorneys. The Democrats in Congress, trying to do anything they could [...]

Obama is going to create a bunch of jobs. How do I know that? Why he said it, so it must be true! He wouldn’t lie would he?
I don’t know if he’d lie, but he could certainly create a new government program based on faulty logic or facts. And it looks like that’s what he’s [...]

Today was supposed to be the day that supporters of same sex “marriage” took a day off work by calling in “gay.”
It’s supposed to show how much of an impact gay folks have on our economy…. or something.
If I’m an employer and someone calls in “gay,” I’m not sure what I’d do. At the very [...]

I haven’t written anything about Obama’s birth certificate controversy because I didn’t really have anything to say.
But on Monday the Supreme Court declined to hear one case that’s was brought to force Obama to show his birth certificate.
There are some ersatz conservative bloggers and writers who are ridiculing anyone who thinks that Obama should show [...]

John Stuart Mill was right when talking about the tyranny that can happen in democracies.
In his “On Liberty” he states “Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social [...]

Today is the “anniversary” of John Lennon’s murder. I can’t believe it’s been almost 30 years since he was shot down in cold blood outside his apartment building in New York.
I guess you’d have to say that Lennon was my “favorite” Beatle. I tended to like his solo songs more than the others. And as [...]

I sure wish I had written this. Z. Dwight Billingsly outlines that generally after we get a weak Democrat president, we go on to elect a strong Republican.
It’s an interesting read. And you can tell from the comments by the liberals that he’s struck a nerve (they resort to the only argument they have, which [...]
