Umm, maybe people just don't listen to George Korda?

I did not know he had a show.

Just now...

Ten most commented stories from knoxnews.com:

• Man shoots and kills fleeing burglar

• Updated with E-911 audio: Break-in motive unclear

• Burglar killed fleeing Powell home

• Moore will skip TIF vote

• Knoxville police say six of 13 businesses sold to underage buyers in alcohol sting

• Moore won't vote on $6M plan due to parents' property

• They came, they sawed, they carved; team works in wood

• New law, unintended result: taking legal immigrants off the road

• Family injured in collapse of stairs at rental cabin sues

• McLean's court date changed

Looks like there are a lot of junior detectives who like to play CSI Knoxville. They probably fantasize about shooting the "perps", too, judging from the comments on the "man shoots fleeing burglar" article. Headshot!

Maybe it's just the Fourth District, but I'd say 90% to 95% of
the people I talk to are really ticked off, with the remainder
slightly ticked off or they just moved to Knox County.

I'm out there with shoe leather, so I think my read is a little
more accurate. Again, maybe it's just the Fourth because of our
situation.

From my perspective there are many people I know that are tuned in and ticked off about CC, MPC, etc. that never seemed to pay any attention to it in the past.

Margaret Klein, a lawyer and the widow of the finest historian who ever lived in Knoxville (Dr. Milton Klein), just delivered a brilliant speech -- exhorted them to obey the Golden Rule and support the constitution.

You'll have to fill me in tomorrow. I had to leave at 11:40 to prevent my car being towed at midnight. They were still on the "God resolution" when I left.

BTW, Dwight stepped all over Rebecca's (upcoming) story tonight.

Larry Van Guilder

He all but BEGGED for a job with the Ragsdale administration (job Mike Cohen was ultimately hired for). He's still pouting.

My health is not great, the holidays are upon us, my house was sold and I had to move which I was not prepared to do right at this particular time, and my cat died...I'm just plain exhausted.

I also was hoping that maybe, just maybe the supposed grown-ups in local, state, national, and international politics could, for once, start acting like grown-ups and not selfish five-year-olds. And I am sick to death of grown men and women playing the "Look at me, I'm a good boy/girl! I love Jesus more than you!" game.
