A Smart Elephant
Just happened across a new Tennessee blog, and I like it. Elephant Rants, written by one Justin Bollinger, calls itself a "daily dose of conservative rants and ravings with links to other 'right' wing web sites and commentary." I especially liked this deconstruction of the anti-war bias in Knoxville News Sentinel reporter Tom Humphrey's reporting of a poll on Tennesseans' views of fighting terrorism and going to war against Iraq. The poll shows a majority of Tennesseans support going to war against Iraq. Humphrey and the News-Sentinel implied it showed the opposite. Bizarre. I'll be adding Elephant Rants to my permanent links list soon as I get around to it.
