Memphis City Council members are taking their lumps for their decision two weeks ago to cut $66 million from the city school system’s budget. Some council members more so than others, though.

Today’s newspaper featured a photo of a woman who was holding up a poster at Tuesday’s council meeting, with a "Hall of Shame" listing the names of the council members who voted to cut the school funding.

But to add insult to injury, the woman not only included Councilman Shea Flinn on the list, but she also misspelled his last name as "Flynn." (Not that Blake’s Blog has ever had any problem with people giving Councilman Flinn a rough time.)

Interestingly, though, the sign listed only nine of the 10 council members who voted for the cut. For some reason, Councilman Bill Boyd’s name didn’t make the list.

Oh well. Maybe he’ll be a late inductee.
