Bright & Early: Something Other Than The Pig Flu Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We’re probably almost as sick of reading/hearing about the swine flu as you are, so as our gift to you on this Friday, we mined and dug until we found a small handful of stories that actually don’t mention it: Don’t ever let us go, Sully. We’re mighty proud of Steve Sullivan, [...]

Bright & Early: Three Little Pigs Stayed Home Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We did everything in our power to ward off that pesky swine flu, but it as of yesterday, it made its way into Tennessee with a vengeance. And by “vengeance” we mean there is one case so far in Williamson County and the kid appears to be doing fine. Consequently, though, the [...]

Bright & Early: Hot, Hot, Hot Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Congratulations to all of our friends who are way more athletic than we are and completed the Country Music Marathon or 1/2 marathon on Saturday. For the full list of runners and times, check out the Tennessean’s massive marathon database. Unfortunately the race didn’t go by without some casualties; 25-year old Benjamin [...]

Bright & Early: In Which We Get Hip Edition

Good morning, Nashville. Today marks an important milestone in the history of our fair city’s quest to become legit: Today, Urban Outfitters is finally, FINALLY having its grand opening shindig.

Happy Hour: When Words Fail

According to John Rich, Mayor Dean actually thanked him for building his house in Nashville. That’s it, Mayor Dean. We’re through.

Bright & Early: Money On The Mind Edition

Good morning, Nashville. It’s official: English First, the group behind the charter amendment that’s costing us 350,000 to put on a special ballot next week, has missed the deadline for disclosing their financial records. This means that we won’t know how much money they’ve raised or who it’s coming from until probably after the election [...]

Bright & Early: The Morning After Edition

Good morning, Nashville. We hear there’s a new president or something. Here in Tennessee, it’s business as usual with the Republicans gaining several seats in both the state House and Senate.  We are happy to report that yesterday went by without a hitch on the new voting machine front, though. Now we just get to [...]

Happy Hour: Glued To The Tube

What better day than today to take Tennessee’s new voting machines out for a test drive, eh? [Tennessean] Okay, seriously–who let Hank Williams Jr. out? [CNN] Wilson County voters are way more industrious than we’ll ever be. [WKRN] Channel 4 has an election day slide show, and who knows? Maybe you’ll see yourselves. [WSMV] The [...]

Bright & Early: One More Day Edition

Good morning, Nashville. After months and months of nonstop campaigning, I think we can all agree that we’re suffering from election fatigue. We’re trying not to be too bitter about our state not being “battleground” enough for the campaign trail, but at least John McCain is showing us a litte last-minute love. Sen. McCain will [...]
