Lots and lots of talk about today’s teabaggin’ at the Capitol. Estimates for the turnout ranged from 1,000 (haters’ guestimate) to 7,500 (according to the organizers). Metro PD puts the crowd at 2,800 – 3,000. This guy just wanted some pot. [Tennessean]
Well, y’all, it was nice while it lasted: The bill to bring wine to Tennessee grocery stores is no more. Thank you, Tennessee House. Look out for us next year. [WTVF]
Though it does make it a little sweeter that Franklin, TN is setting out to become the Tequila Shot Capitol of the World. We’re serious. [Tennessean]
A 9-year old got all angry at his mother in a Chattanooga Dollar General and burned the entire place to the ground. Kids these days! [WTVF]
The ACLU is threatening to sue the pants off of Metro Schools, who they claim block GLBT rights and education websites in classrooms. [Pith In The Wind]

That is pretty crappy of the Tennessee House or Representatives to block the selling of wine in grocery stores. I know several grocery stores and lots of people that were behind this. Very few that opposed it. Makes me wonder who is really pulling the strings. Time to break out the string cutting scissors.
