The Politico (via Post Politics) reports: Eight days after admitting to an extramarital affair, Sen. John Ensign gave $5,000 to the Tennessee gubernatorial campaign of Rep. [Zach] Wamp - a fellow Republican who lives with Ensign in a Christian group house...
I'm obviously falling WAY behind in blogging. The summer's just keep getting busier and busier. Training has been going ok, I'm excited to be gearing up for my next race though - which will be the Atomic Man...
Her memorable sundress from Backstreet Betty's brings to mind the wisdom of Coco Chanel:"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."...
This past Saturday morning, we went to Sequatchie Cove Farm (about 40 minutes west) to pick blueberries. This was our second year in a row and it was definitely more fun this time with a (almost) 2 year old!...
{This is a featured post & will remain at the top of my page a few days--please scroll down for newer entries EVERY day!!} It's back, and it's even bigger and better than before: Blog Hop '09! I hope you'll...

At long last, the Braves have returned to .500, but the Phillies are on such a roll that they’re still losing ground in the playoff race. At least they only have one team to catch in the East now, having...
That they unconsciously chose to wear stripes must be the result of good chemistry. Also of note: today marked the blog's 6000th visitor since February. Thanks to everyone who has appeared on The Chattanoogan and to those who enjoy your...

But [laughs] I think I would want to make clear to him that he’s opened a third front in my country. By allying America...
