In a humorous line found in this blog post from Mike Donila's blog Screams From The Porch He refers to Chadwick B. Tindell as a phone solicitor. Should Knox County really be getting into the modern day solicitation of the world's oldest profession? And from a lawyer at that?

Walt Wojnar Finds a TN Solution to a National/International Crisis

Walt Wojnar, the one person that originally coined the phrase "Black Wednesday" for the County Commission appointments on January 31, 2007 has found a Tennessee solution to a National/International crisis.

Wojnar announced today that in solving the immigration problem of illegals crossing the border from Mexico to the United States that on Wednesday November 3, 2010 all the green posts holding the Bill Haslam for Governor signs should be collected and transported to the Mexican/USA border and build the fence with all the green fence posts.

So, if anyone is going to the fair this year and wants to be kind and feed your best local blogger, yes I would take a candied apple or two.

Sad Day for the Wig Shop

Thanks to Carly Harrington's knoxnews blog, here is the official announcement that Bob Sukenik, owner of Southern Graces has closed the Sunsphere operations. While the developer Kinsey Probasco Hays are associates of Mayor William Haslam, we will not blame Haslam. As it will cause his campaign to allege that Brian's Blog has some vendetta against Haslam. So, we will blame Bill Lyons. Read the entire Sukenik, press release at Harrington's blog.
