Bright & Early: Sweat It Out Edition
Good morning, Nashville. At what point does a heat wave stop being a heat wave and just become that thing we know as a Tennessee Summer? Either way, a heat advisory is now in effect for today and tomorrow as sky-high humidity nudges the heat index into the dangerous zone of 110 degrees and we’re [...]
Happy Hour: Turn, Turn, Turn
The early voting numbers are pretty sad for Davidson, Williamson and a handful of other counties around Tennessee. If you haven’t voted yet, check out all the election information and be sure to snag the “I Voted” Foursquare badge if you’re into that. [Tennessean] Vince Young made his first practice appearance today since he twisted [...]
Bright & Early: The Vee’s Knees Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Though the Titans practically gutted the Jaguars last night 30-3, the game wasn’t without a casualty: Vince Young left in the first quarter after we all watched his knee do something that knees shouldn’t do. Kerry Collins took over for the rest of the game and despite VY’s sprained knee and ankle, Coach [...]
Bright & Early: BRBLOLOKTTYLKTHXBYE Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Local teachers are afraid that text lingo may be getting in the way of our kids learning the English language. With text speak working its way into conversation in real life (IRL), it stands to reason that it has also been showing up in kids’ papers and projects for school. English language [...]
Happy Hour: With A Buzz In Our Ears
That suspicious package from this morning turned out to be a backpack full of clothes. [WTVF] Early voting started today for the gubernatorial election! Get thee to the polls. [WTVF] Headline of the day, courtesy of News Channel 5: “Men say they didn’t run nude through big cat refuge.” The mugshots are pretty priceless as [...]
Bright & Early: Wake Us When It’s Over Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Tennessee has managed to make quite a spectacle of itself in the past few weeks with our strange array of fringe gubernatorial candidates and controversial statements from the not-so-fringe ones, but we’re here to tell you that at least this leg of the journey will be over soon. You have today and [...]
Happy Hour: Dam It
Things aren’t looking too good for the Army Corps of Engineers today following the Senate subcommittee hearing on the Nashville flood. Though they defended their actions, they admitted that communication broke down because they failed to read their emails from the National Weather Service and pass on pertinent information. Mayor Dean also testified that the [...]
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, [...]
Bright & Early: Highs And Lows Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve gotta admit, we’re feeling pretty demoralized after Saturday’s Game Which Shall Not Be Named (the ‘Stache blames that missed delay of game call, but we’re not even sure that could have salvaged it) so we’re trying to look at the bright side–the Preds won and Steve Sullivan skated for the first [...]
Happy Hour: 1,550,939 Edition
Well guys, Memphis left us in the dust with 254,390 early voters to Davidson’s 190,705–but what you see up there is the state’s impressive grand total of 1,550,939. [Election Commission] Turns out Joe the Plumber may not be making our ears bleed after all, but rather our eyes. [WSMV] Some loser (maybe it’s the notorious [...]
