Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

What's The Worst State In The Union?

 And why is it Tennessee? 

What's so baffling about Tennessee's descent into race-based, Christianist authoritarianism, is that - unlike, say, Arkansas - it has a sizeable Black population, two urban centers known for their cultural impact and Dolly Parton.

Nashville and Memphis are citadels of American music, so I would hope more artists than Jason Isbell will step up and challenge the Christo-fascism in the heart of American music.
