Unapologetic as hell

PORTLAND, Tenn. (WSMV) - An embattled Portland city alderman, exposed by WSMV Investigates for repeatedly using racial slurs, intends to run for mayor.

Be sure to check out the video, it's funnier than hell. He ain't backing down one bit.

Tom doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning the mayor's race though. Portland's where both my father and mother-in-law and brother-in-law and his wife live, about 35 miles west of here, and over the past few years it's quickly becoming a bedroom community of Nashville, about 30 miles SSW.
