  • We were about to tell you that the Tennessean lied to us today when they told us we wouldn’t see any snow accumulation, but then we realized they did that whole thing where they switch out the story after they realize it’s inaccurate. As of now, the Nashvillest HQ is blanketed in white. [Tennessean]
  • Someone was hating on Governor Phil today when they sent him a letter containing some (hopefully) fake anthrax. Sadly he’s not the only governor to receive a present of this kind in the mail recently. [WKRN]
  • Maybe the unhappy sender of the fake anthrax is upset about the 20% budget cut that the governor is proposing to make up for Tennessee’s $1B deficit. [WTVF]
  • Or maybe s/he was hoping to make it out for the Sommet Center’s 12th annual New Year’s Eve shindig only to discover that it has been canceled because we’re all broke and the economy sucks. [WSMV]
  • Ironically this person may be pleased to hear that Tennessee House Republicans are proposing an amendment that would make a state income tax unconstitutional. [WSMV]
  • But we’ll end on a happy note: Three of our Titans–Chris Johnson, Albert “Speedy” Haynesworth, and Kevin Mawae–are all in the running for the fan-voted NFL Pro Bowl. [WTVF]
