Bright & Early: Take That Back Edition
Good morning, Nashville. On the heels of Governor Phil’s announcement of widespread TennCare cuts, many hospitals are speaking out and comparing the cuts to Armageddon and declaring that “people will die” if they actually go into effect.

What’s more impressive than watching someone flip the switch on two million Christmas lights? Meteor showers aside, not much.

Also excessive was this afternoon’s big ribbon cutting ceremony for the new security check-point at the Nashville International Airport, attended by Mayor Dean. [WKRN]

Photo Of The Day: Sky Iris
Sometimes we have to show some love to the tourists in this section, especially when their photos are as creative as this one from Ignatius244. In case you don’t recognize it, this ominous-looking eye in the sky is the dome from inside the Opryland Hotel. We also like his Escher-ish version of the same photo, [...]
