This just in: Brian Hornback will not, repeat NOT vote for a Democrat against incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander.
(If they want the Hornback vote, Tennessee Dem's should consider running a Democrat who mentions Brian's Blog.)

Shocking news
This is just shocking.
I'm shocked.
Really, I'm seriously ... ah ... shocked by this.
Wait, what are we talking about again?
Hornback's blog?
Good God why?
Everybody's Talking About His Blog!
You can tell by the HUNDREDS, no THOUSANDS of comments on every post he writes, er tries to write.
Drugs
He needs drugs, badly.
The guy's a zero, I read and read, never a courageous venture into the deep end. Has little to say about even less.
Four years he's been there? Must just be using it as an electronic diary. It's definitely not there to enlighten or inspire.
They guy need to be psychedelicized. I recommend a two-way hit of some decent blotter and four hours of Iron Butterfly through headphones.
That normally does it.
I am always overcome with sympathy for people who are always overcome with themselves.
"The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open."
Funny, isn't it, that
Funny, isn't it, that Hornback seems to have no problem supporting an attractive young Democrat.
Guess it was just because she mentioned his illiterate ramblings...
It's just...
creepy the way he keeps referring to himself in the third person.

Brian's Blog Team Members
I don't normally stick up for Brian BUT ... I think all (well, most anyway) the 'third person' references come from his 'blog team members' (AKA his childern) and consequently refer to dad in the third person rather just say "Dad thinks ... Dad said ... " and so on. I thought it was creepy too for awhile and then I thought of this and it's actually sort'a cute. A kind'a politically partisan, white middle class, suburbun Walton's Mountain family if you will.
Take Care, Be Good and don't play in the street!
SteveMule
Steve,
now I understand why some of his articles sounds like they are written by juveniles. I have a lot of pity for his family.
Low and Behold?
You can tell he's no University twit:
Brian says Brian needs a proofreader and editor for Brian's blog. It is "lo and behold" there Mr. Genius.
