Happy Hour: Bocephus 4 Prez

  • Somehow we missed the part where Hank Williams Jr. was actually serious about running for US Senate in the next primary. Which is fine, as long as we’re not actually dumb enough as a state to put him into office. [Pith In The Wind]
  • Hey, did you know we had a statue of a devout racist outside of the Tennessee State Capitol? An attorney and a professor are giving the extra push to an effort to get it removed this year since it’s the 100th anniversary of the guy’s death and we’re also electing a black president. [WSMV]
  • Vandy’s campus was without power for almost 3 hours today, the effects of which caused the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Children’s Hospital to have to reschedule 11 surgeries. [WSMV]
  • Good news, Tennessee! Our unemployment rate was actually DOWN to 7% in October from 7.2%. Of course, officials are expecting it to go back up in November and December, but we’ll take what we can get. [Tennessean]

    "Nashvillians are brilliant–our 911 dispatchers have so far gotten calls from people who are locked in their cars because they forgot to unlock the doors, people who can’t sleep, people whose cats won’t let them out of the bedroom, people who have lost their keys… if it isn’t an emergency, then don’t call!" - nashvillest

    No, Hank, will probably just be voted Governor.
