Folks in Tennessee don’t need no stinkin’ Commie president sticking his nose in to our business.

On the other hand, the stinkin' commmies in Washington have NO trouble taxing - stealing really - the income of the folks in Tennessee. I said it on another thread and I'll say it here - Tennessee ought to intercept all the federal income tax dollars that are being taken from Tennessee taxpayers and use that money to rebuild and repair the state from all the flood damage.

Is that what’s meant by “light in the loafers”?

Allowing that I'm a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal, that sure sets my Gaydar off...

She said President Barack Obama has been briefed regularly on the impact of the flooding and the federal government’s response.

“He knows the extent of this and the breadth and depth of this,” she said. “One of the reasons I am here is that Homeland Security — how do you say it — we’re kind of first on the scene at the Cabinet level.”
