[Rhodes22-list] politics- Stan ought to tell Steve why

[brad haslett]

MJM,

Were you here for the candle-light vigil on Elvis's
birthday?  Did you make the Church of God in Christ
(COGIC) convention?  Did you cook ribs during the
Memphis in May Festival?  When is the last time you
attended a WWF Smackdown match?  Did you even watch it
on pay per view?

I've been to NYC several times in the last two years. 
Have you sat by the Mississippi riverside and watched
2/3 of the nation drain because Memphis is such a suck
place?

I rest my case!
