I'm thinking we won't be hearing about this issue again in the hopes it just goes away.

Re: 2026 Elections
I've been seeing ads for a guy named John Rose, Republican running for TN governor. His ads say he's a CEO "like trump" and that he's "tough like trump." And Marsha Blackburn, also running, has ads that feature little videos of trump praising Marsha as a "fighter" (meaning she blindly follows whatever idiotic thing trump comes up with). I don't even know if a Democrat is bothering to run. If not, I'm gonna write my name in on my ballot.

Re: 2026 Elections
Well, I'll vote for anything other than Rose or Blackburn. But Kurtz does look like somebody who doesn't take any shit. Not sure about his nickname, though. Somehow Ditch Kurtz don't seem like a winning thing. I just hope he didn't get the name from numerous episodes of waking up in a ditch on a two lane semi paved road.Vrede too wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2026 9:59 amSeveral Dems are running in the 8/6 primary.neoplacebo wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2026 9:32 amI've been seeing ads for a guy named John Rose, Republican running for TN governor.

62% undecided in April, the Ditch Man at 2%. Future doesn't seem bright.

Re: 2026 Elections
It's TN, future doesn't seem bright for any Dem. May as well have fun.
It's a rallying cry for drunk musicians:
I'm in the ditch for Ditch!

I'm thinking there's a good possiblity it was his own Dems that bagged him. Collins is better off with him in the race, but if he bails and they can get Mills or somebody - maybe even Eddie from Nonsequitor - Collins may be toast.

I suspect his ROI on the franchises will be significant. I believe he has half a dozen or so in Henderson County. Should be plenty for him to be very comfortable.

6 is about correct depending on exact borders, whether they own them all and whether they own any outside the county. Should be enough to get divorced and settle the sexual harassment lawsuits.

Fletcher and Mills River are both still Henderson County. Along with the 4 in Hooterville . . .
