Ms. Diva is pissed because they’ve already called Tennessee for McCain – so she’s talking trash to Anderson Cooper on television.
Mr. Smartypants is upset because no one has mentioned those other people, whose names were on the ballot – and he wants to know why.
Mike Faulk is leading Mike Williams in the state Senate Race.

(*Fairly Unbalanced Alert: The radio advertisement featured here has been heavily edited in order to take the candidate’s words out of context and regroup them – thereby making the candidate say whatever I want him to say.

Senator Mike Williams: Lowering Gas Prices and Leaping Tall Buildings in a Single Bound!

Senator Williams has been blanketing the district with mailers for the last two weeks. Several voters have emailed me questions about those mailers – and I tried to find the answers.
