Happy Hour: We Can Sag If We Want To
What a relief it is to know that we probably will not be fined for showing the cracks of our butts anytime soon! Our heroic state attorney general said that the Saggy Pants Bill is “arguably unconstitutionally vague because it does not set forth a standard for its violation that may be readily understood.” Phew. [...]
Bright & Early: Two By Two Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We trust that none of you guys floated away this weekend, seeing as our rainfall totals for Middle Tennessee were somewhere in the ballpark of 3-7 inches by Saturday and we’re guessing we racked up at least few more from a very soggy Sunday. And also, there was a tornado. Things should [...]
Bright & Early: This Is Just A Drill Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today is the day that the Nashville International Airport will be inciting mass panic by way of a “full-scale disaster exercise” involving a pretend plane crash complete with painted-up victims and emergency vehicles and helicopters and fake news crews and probably smoke bombs galore. Since this will be completely visible from both [...]
Bright & Early: Like A Freight Train Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We were pleasantly surprised when we woke up this morning and realized we’d made it through the weekend. While we were off frolicking at the film festival and throwing Wayne Coyne around in a giant hamster ball, some Vanderbilt students braved the rain to build a new playgroud for the kiddos at [...]
Happy Hour: Don’t Breathe Unless You Have To
Lest we forget about the folks in Kingston and their nasty, nasty TVA ash spill back in December, more reports of health problems are rolling in by the day. Also, more than 200 residents have stepped up in the class action suit against the TVA with more on the way. [Pith In The Wind] We [...]

The EF-3 twister carried sustained winds of up to 165 mph, killed 2, injured 47, destroyed 94 homes and businesses, and damaged more than 400. New mother Kori Bryant and her 9-week old daughter were killed when [...]
Bright & Early: Hat Tricks & Drunk Birds Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re pretty sure we could hear the Preds fans screaming all over city on Saturday after the epic 8-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It was a night of firsts for our Preds: First win by 8 goals, first time they’ve scored 5 goals in the first period (including the first [...]
Happy Hour: What Goes Around
As you might have figured out from our absence today, we’ve been totally sidetracked by the chaos on Capitol Hill that ensued after Rep. Jason Mumpower lost the Speaker of the House vote that everyone thought he had in the bag. And mostly because some n00b pressed the wrong button. [Nashville Is Talking, Nashville Post, [...]
