We Tennesseans need a new Buford Pusser to go around cracking heads.

Hijinx or gubamyster, please ping (where's my list? On the good computer in storage. Yeah, I know, they're called "floppies".)

I love "Lame Phil" Bredesen's comment about "not completely documented". A native born citizen needs documents up the wazoo, but not an illegal. I doubt if the documents they provide to the state would pass the requirements for some "rent to own" furniture store. Hell, my 15 year-old son can't get a learner's permit without a certified true copy of his birth certificate. On the other hand, it seems we have state police officers with criminal records, so it's just Tennessee politics as usual.

If he started here in the slum part of the state, it would be a full time job.

I remember years ago when I took my son to get his driver's permit I had to have the following. His Birth Certificate, a copy of his Drivers Education Certificate, copy of his latest report card and 2 proofs of residency which could include a copy of my utility bill, phone bill, mortgage payment, etc. I was stunned that they required 5 different things to prove his eligibility but just thought it was precautionary.

After we filled out the paperwork a woman ahead of me that could speak very little English only had to show her phone bill. That was the only paperwork she submitted and I know that for a fact because we came in at the same time and I was standing there the entire time, I was livid to say the least.

That same day another woman had someone ask, (as she was seated to take the written test) if she could take it in some other language. That one went all over me as well.

What can I say though, that's Memphis for you.
