Mabel encounters Zombie Elvis. She has fear in her eyes as she bows in terror of what the undead king might do to her. The large feet of Squirrel Queen do not frighten her as she is used to them stomping about the house.
She realizes that her fight against the undead is fruitless as no one wins against Zombie Elvis. She lies down to her new alpha and realizes that she has been made the canine version of Renfro in this zombie saga although she has no idea who Renfro is because she is, alas, a dog.
She does know Tom Waits played him in one of the Dracula movies because I told her so.

I so stole this from Brittney Gilbert from her new gig in San Francisco because it is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I am a thief.

The most exquiste thing ever.
I’m serious. And go visit her blog.
Sharon and Fred, how I love you.
Homer, Badger and Squirrel Queen are going to love this.

Here in Hooterville, some folks freeze pickles and I eat the hell out of them.
I do not apologize.

In this new information age, you keep moving or you get run over and left in the dust.
I know.
Dang if I don’t know.
It makes my head hurt but I’m in.
Going to read about podcasting, SXSW and Pownce again.
Next time I come to Knoxville, you guys owe me a beer.
Wait, I owe you one.
I get confused, you know.

In the midst of so much craziness, we hear about yet another high-powered elected official who gets caught with his panties on the floor.
Gov. Spitzer, I bet you feel not only mondo stupid today but also like, umm, I don’t know like maybe you aren’t above the law.
You know, I realize people have private lives, but the old wide-stance and then $5,500 a visit to get a special bit of the hootchikoo is just plum stupid. Gov, I hope you got a discount.
You guys, you slay me.
Now with that said, being intimate is fun. We all have our “things” but, you guys …
Man, you guys are just wanting to get caught, aren’t you?
Of course some of us don’t kiss and tell.
And we don’t do stupid things to put our careers in jeopardy.
Asshattery at it’s best.

TENNESSEE RURAL HEALTH ACT: SB4099, sponsored by Sen. John Wilder, D-Mason, Sen. Roy Herron, D-Dresden, and Sen. Steve Roller, D-Morrison, creates a loan-forgiveness program for Tennessee students studying to become designated types of health care professionals that agree to practice in rural and other underserved areas across the state. Students that enter the program will agree to practice medicine in a “health resource shortage area” for one year for each year of educational funding provided by the program. Recipients will be required to repay all funds received under the program if they fail to practice medicine in a health resource shortage area for the full time required. Health resource shortage areas are designated as such by the Tennessee Department of Health’s Office of Rural Health.
Something we are watching.
I’m just saying.
From an email from the Tennessee Senate Democrats.
