Yesterday's Young Dems Cookout
Yesterday evening I went to the Young Democracts Cookout down at Tyson Park. It was a lot of fun and quite a few people showed up. The weather was great, a little cool perhaps but still great. I had a blast!
Here's everyone getting their burgers and whatnot fixed up. The guy in the red shirt is Randy Tryee who, if you didn't know is running for Knox County Sheriff.
Here's Randy Tyree talking with Schree Pettigrew. Schree is a candidate for the Tennessee State Representative from the 18th District. This district is currently representated by Stacey Campfield. Rep. Campfield you will remember recently made national news when he was denied membership in the Tennesse State Congressional Black Caucus (hint: he's white). That little episode even earned Rep. Campfield a place on the list of the "worst persons in the world" (scroll down toward the bottom to read it) back on Sep. 28 of 2005. Here's the applicable quote from Keith Olberman: "Also nominated, Tennessee State Representative Stacey Campfield. He was rejected for membership in the Black Legislative Caucus, possibly because he is a white guy. Odd enough, but then came Representative‘s Campfield‘s bitter response to the rejection—quote—“My understanding is that the Ku Klux Klan does not even ban members by race.” Somebody voted for this dude." Rep. Campfield's antatics unfortunately go back even further; a fight at US Rep. Duncun's BBQ (read about it here and here and here) and ... well you can read even more about him here. The 18th District really does need Schree to recover from this Limbaugh ditto-head. Someday I'll do a post just on Rep. Campfield but not today. Moving on ...
Here's Ken Irvine, who's campiagning for Criminal Court Judge Div. 2. Ken is among other things, a former member of the 101st Airborne, a former Army Ranger and US Army JAG officer. A pretty cool guy in my book!
Well, I'm going to go. Take Care and Be Good!
