The Legislature is Broken..Crockett Buzz 5-18-15

 Quote of the day:

"There is across-the-board support for Insure Tennessee," he said, "and even more support for letting the full legislature vote on the bill. Yet there does not seem to be much interest among our legislators to discuss and vote on this bill supported by Gov. Bill Haslam — who himself remains wildly popular."

In other words, Tennesseans are knocking on the door — wanting fairness and reason and good health care to come out — but our elected reps won't let us in.

The legislature is broken. Its leaders aren't leading, and too many of its members are paralyzed by an unreasoning fear of their next elections. Never mind that such elections are more than a year away.

The rest of the Buzz is here:

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha...Thank You for Making Us Look Stupid For Electing People Like You

Congressman Marsha Blackburn is qualified to represent Tennessee how, exactly? She's the Old Miss Home Ec grad who told Bill Nye (Cornell engineering degree, Carl Sagan astronomy student on the side)  he was not qualified to speak about climate change, though she was, somehow.

So now Marsha is going to bat for all those persecuted Christians in America today that she is absolutely certain are out there, only when asked, she couldn't come up with any examples. Ergo, articles with titles like this:

Quote of the Day from one of my HomeTowns...

"After reviewing further input from the community, detailed written legal opinions from our city attorney and a second legal opinion from a constitutional lawyer, impact on the city fiscal resources and the environment in which the original decision to exclusively fly the Christian flag was made, the City Council voted 4 to 1 at a special called meeting on April 28, 2015 to rescind the motion to exclusively fly the Christian flag 24/7 from the flagpole at City Hall and remove the flag effective May 8th. The only flags that will be flown from the flagpole at City Hall will be the U.S. and state flags."

What? There's a "Christian" Flag? Really?
