  • Some coal miners are calling for a boycott of Pigeon Forge and telling people that West Virginia and Kentucky are more desirable destinations because they endorse mountaintop removal. But seriously, have these people ever SEEN Turtle Man? [Pith In The Wind]
  • Walmart has put the kibosh on those shiny Metro recycling bins that are currently housed in their parking lot. [Tennessean]
  • Toxicology reports are showing that Steve McNair’s blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit at the time of death. Sahel Kazemi had a small amount of marijuana in her system. [WKRN]
  • In an effort to sell a few more tickets this year, the Preds have rolled out three new not-quite-season-ticket deals for the rest of us. [City Paper]
  • Hats off to the Franklin police officer who pulled over a speeder who also happened to be a wanted fugitive that the FBI and Interpol have been chasing around for 10 years. [WSMV]

    There is an episode of 30 Days (same guy who made Supersize Me) where he becomes a coal miner for 30 days. Very interesting documentary and there's a part where he talks to some former miners who are against mountain top removal. It shows an actual blast too.

    Actually the Predators partial-season ticket plans aren't new this year, the City Paper apparently misunderstood the press release. These same plans were available last season, what was announced today are the specific games covered by the 13- and 23-game packages.

    Oh wow, that does sound pretty interesting. I recently drove through some mining towns in West Virginia and it was fascinating… you could see some of the strips of coal left over from the mining along with some pretty blatant “clean coal” billboards placed by high-rolling PR firms. I need to look that up on the interwebs.

    You know, I wondered! Because it seemed like I'd seen those packages before, but I trusted the City Paper. That was my first mistake, right? ;) Thanks for the heads-up.
