If you could imagine 8 very vocal bbloggers sitting spellbound over drinks as this man tells story after story, you can envision the scene. He was a very interesting man, a legacy that can not be beat, and lived life. He may be a bit of a wacko, he sure is an interesting one. I also vote AYE! Great Site!

If this gentleman starts blogging, fasten your seatbelts, the blogosphere is in for a ride! Known for his ability to 'spam' the courts with motions, I can only imagine the length and detail that will show up in his posts. ...and I vote 'Aye' John Jay Hooker has been (and still is, to some degree) one of the most colorful people in Tennessee politics.
