Happy Hour: Another One Bites The Dust

October 9th, 2008 · Comments

  • Somewhere around 92,000 Tennesseans may have to give their stimulus checks back according to the IRS. But don’t worry-It’s only the retirees and disabled veterans! [Tennessean]
  • And we’re $128 million in the hole for tax collections this year in the state. Good thing they could cut out about $106 million in spending for public colleges and low-income health programs, right? [WTVF]
  • Meanwhile, the economy continues melting down and such with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping close to 700 points today. [Tennessean]
  • MTSU is also having a bit of a meltdown today after a few fires and an emailed threat caused officials to declare martial law evacuate the campus for the rest of the week. Also, the FBI declared a no-fly zone near campus, the Department of Homeland Security is camped out close by, and SWAT teams are on standby. [WKRN]
  • But lest you think we’re all gloom and doom here, we’ll point your attention to an oldie but a goodie–Christian the Lion–who has nothing to do with Nashville but never fails to make us smile. [YouTube]
