“The Internet is awesome, right?

Tell that to Kane, the World Wrestling Entertainment’s 7-foot monster who lives in Jefferson City, just outside of Morristown. His real name is Glenn Jacobs, and when it comes to the pending Marketplace Fairness Act, he’s jumping out of the ring and into the social and political arena.

The legislation would change a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling thatdoes not allow sales to be taxed over the Internet if the purchase is made in another state. Jacobs, the co-founder of the Tennessee Liberty Alliance, is actively voicing his opposition to the new tax. He’s even challenged Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, who favors the new legislation, to a debate over the issue.

By the way, his signature move is the “choke slam.” What say you, Mr. Ramsey?”

I have noticed that no human wants to be alone.

This is because of how they are made.

Except for maybe when they are in a bath-room, they always like to be with other humans and do human things with them.

They like to talk with their mouths and ears with them, watch moving pictures…

“A Kingsport couple face multiple charges after allegedly letting an 11-year-old they were babysitting drive a vehicle on city streets, eventually crashing into a home.

The male suspect — who told police he was straddling the car’s center console to operate the pedals, while the child was behind the wheel — was reportedly intoxicated during the incident. Upon arrest he allegedly admitted to downing another bottle of liquor following the wreck. 

Meanwhile, his girlfriend attempted to claim she wasn’t in the vehicle when the incident occurred, according to police, though witnesses saw her exit the car after the crash — and carrying beer cans from the vehicle as they fled the scene.”

I’ll miss you Tri-cities. You’ve got the classiest criminals.
