Memphis Police continue to search for search three cross-dressing crooks who started a fight at the McDonalds on South Mendenhall Sunday night. It was definitely not business as usual at a local McDonald's Sunday night as a carful angry transvestites pulled up to Martez Brisco's drive-thru window. "Men trying to look like women, drag queens, transvestites is what they were," Brisco said. There was an argument at the window and that's when things started to get a little strange. "They come to the window, tap, tap, tap. I'm still ignoring them. I guess that just pissed them off worser," Brisco...

So he isn't doing back flips or some other idiotic stunt to get attention. Where has that gotten us before? Well.... Bill Clinton has the fire since he was a little boy. We all know how that turned out. Saddam, Chavez, Quadafy, and even Hitler were brimming with Belly Fire. I want a man who will keep my country safe, who will have a responsible stewardship of the economy,...

When Fred Thompson makes his presidential debate debut in Michigan tonight, he won’t have to share the dais with the GOP’s equivalent of Mike Gravel. Alan Keyes did not draft himself into the presidential race until after the debate’s filing deadline. No word on whether he will handcuff himself to the television station and declare a hunger strike, as he did in a 1996. Although his “exclusion” from tonight’s event in Dearborn was due to his own failure, surrogates for the perennial candidate immediately played the race card.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - When Steve Cohen, a white man, was elected last year to represent mostly black Memphis in Congress, it was seen as a sign that racial divisions were fading in this Southern city. But less than a year later, Cohen is facing a movement led by black pastors and political activists to defeat him in 2008 and send a black representative to Washington instead. "He's not black, and he can't represent me. That's the bottom line," the Rev. Robert Poindexter told a local newspaper after a meeting last week of the Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association at which Cohen...

A family in Central Florida is outraged that they were kept in the dark about their new house's dark secret: A triple murder and suicide happened within the four walls they'd just begun to call home. John and Kathy Johnson and their 24-year-old daughter Christina were horrified to learn that their bucolic Lake County ranch home was the scene of such a bloody crime — and worse, that the realtor and seller kept quiet about the grisly homicide. But on May 5, when the Johnsons moved into the Greenbrier Street residence, a neighbor mentioned that local police Cpl. Michael Mount...
