Happy Hour: Take Us To Your Leader
- Hey! Ron Paul is speaking in Nashville next Saturday! Oh wait, just kidding! It’s just a satellite feed! [Post Politics]
- Today brings us the news of one of the greatest casualties of a bad economy: The halt of the Dollywood expansion plans. [WSMV]
- Our favorite blogging state legislator Rep. Stacey Campfield, just got slapped with a lawsuit for things he posted in his blog about House candidate Roger Byrge. [WSMV]
- Around 84% of Tennessee voters were white, and 2/3 of white voters were Evangelical Christians. Guess we’re not in danger of losing the Bible Belt Buckle title any time soon. [Tennessean]
- Unrelated, there’s a Prop 8 protest going on at the Metro Courthouse this Saturday at 12:30pm. [Out & About]
- The skinheads charged with plotting to assassinate President-Elect Barack Obama want their case to be thrown out because most of the jury members are black. [Tennessean]

Tonight: 25th Annual Christmas Lighting Ceremony At Opryland
Tonight marks the 25th year of Christmas lights at the Opryland Hotel. This year’s A Country Christmas Lighting Ceremony begins at 5:45pm, and will feature several special guests including Louise Mandrell, the Radio City Rockettes, CNN morning news anchor Robin Meade and… The Grinch. Quite a variety! The lights at Opryland are one of our favorite things about Christmas in Nashville. It just wouldn’t be the same without ‘em.

Photo Of The Day: November 13, 2008
We’re not sure why the Parthenon is lit up green at this time of year (is it Christmas already?), but we think it looks pretty eerie. Thanks to macintheus for the submission!
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry–we’ll give you props. Just add them to the pool or tag them with “Nashvillest” if you’re feeling lazy.

Crayon Campaign For Barack Obama [Only In Nashville]
Nashville artist Herb Williams has spent the last four months creating a giant CRAYOLABAMA. In other words, a giant portrait of President-Elect Barack Obama made entirely out of crayons. NBC has a video interview with Herb. He’s pretty hardcore.

Bright & Early: Bust Out The Candles Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Downtown seems to have recovered from yesterday’s power outage/gas leakage/CMA invasion. We’re getting conflicting stories as to what actually happened, but we’re going to go with the one that names copper theft as the main culprit. According to NES, the pilfered copper would have prevented the outage. A close runner up would be WTVF’s account where “downtown Nashville was supposed to be an electric” and “somehow something pulled the plug on the power.” But we digress.
- No more music pirates. Governor Phil signed a bill into law yesterday holding colleges and universities responsible for cracking down on students who download music illegally on campus, confirming our suspicions that Governor Phil hates college students.
- Calls waiting. The Tennessee unemployment office swears that they really are trying to keep up, but the first half of November has brought 15,000 more people filing for unemployment–compared the 2,000 that applied in the first two weeks of November 2007. They say that you’re better off calling early in the morning or late in the week.
- I O U. And with times as they are, we may be borrowing $59M from the folks in Clarksville who are clearly rolling in the dough.
- Bits & pieces. Tennessee has one of the highest premature birth rates in the country … Gaylord Entertainment’s stock is in a free-fall, having dropped 39% yesterday … We didn’t even realize that Nashville HAD an ancient forest, but apparently it needs saving.
