Ah, well. Much appreciated.

Creative cropping there, and one does appreciate seeing in a public servant that what's yet to come is left to the imagination,when usually those in the public sector are so unimaginative as to believe they have to spell it out word by word.

Somehow her body parts don't seem to be all turned the same way, do they? Has this been messed with?

Oh yeah, this a governor with a head for business

Tennessee pays millions for fixer-upper owned by governor family friend, others

A group of politically connected businessmen earlier this year sold a long-vacant Knoxville office building in need of millions of dollars in repairs and upgrades to the state for $10 million, twice the price they paid for it five years earlier.

The building, for Pellissippi State Community College, will cost an additional $16.6 million to make it suitable for a community college, according to a report commissioned by the college to assess the property before the purchase.

A series of emails obtained by The Tennessean under open records laws shows that the top aide to Gov. Bill Haslam stepped in late last year to try to make the purchase a priority after being contacted by an intermediary for the Knoxville developer selling the 220,000-square-foot building.

A head for business friends, that is.

Haslam says gun laws should be left alone

NASHVILLE - Gov. Bill Haslam said he does not believe Tennessee’s gun laws should be changed in the wake of last week’s shooting in Newtown, Conn., even as he acknowledged the Republican Super-Majority in Tennessee's legislature, controlled as it is by crazed wingnut, gunnut, Tea-Party-enabled extremists, is implacable.

"Resistance is futile," he said. "We will be assimilated. Remember, they hold all the guns."
