Bright & Early: Rumor Mill Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Thanks to some confused protesters, Rep. Jim Cooper has canceled Friday’s public appearance at West End Middle School where he was supposed to welcome students back to school. Town hall meetings about healthcare reform have been happening all across the country, and somehow word hit the street that Rep. Cooper would be [...]
Funny People: Belmont Appears On SNL
In case you missed it last night, the fine folks at Saturday Night Live made a special non-Saturday night appearance on NBC to spoof Belmont’s Town Hall Debate. In what was probably one of the best SNL skits we’ve seen in years, the opening shot features none other than Belmont University’s Curb Event Center. We [...]
Happy Hour: Raining On Our Parade
Well guys, with 57.7% of the city tuning into last night’s debate, we’d say we won. [Tennessean]
Even some country stars got in on the action! [WTVF]

Bright & Early: Business As Usual Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re pretty exhausted after our epic night in the international spotlight, and what’s all this about water falling from the sky? It’s raining, you say? We’ll believe it when we see it. At any rate, the candidates are pulling out of town as we speak, trying to put last night’s colorful debate [...]
Happy Hour: Let The Games Begin
Check out the live C-SPAN Debate cam for some riveting live footage of the media tent. It might get rowdy later with Anheuser-Busch’s tent next door. [CSPAN]
There’s also some footage of Barry’s motorcade rolling down Wedgewood and turning onto 12th Ave. earlier this afternoon. [Pith In The Wind]
All eyes are on us! Well, us meaning [...]
Bright & Early: D-Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Debate Day is finally here, and it’s already gotten off to an interesting start, complete with motorcade traffic all over Broadway and John Rich getting mobbed by Obama supporters on the CBS Early Show (look for that one on Youtube later). We don’t really know what else to say, except that we [...]
Happy Hour: ‘Twas The Night Before Debate ‘08
Debate ‘08 roundup: Belmont wraps up its preparations for the big night tomorrow … The Tennessean takes us inside the debate hall and we’re still sort of bummed out that we don’t get to go … Belmont’s really, really, really pumped for their night in the spotlight … No, seriously, they’re REALLY pumped … [...]
Bright & Early: Ballin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a win-win weekend for us in the football department… well, make that a win-win-win. Not only did the Titans make quick work of the Ravens in Baltimore (stretching their record to 5-0), but TSU mowed right over UT-Martin 30-27 in overtime, and who can forget Vandy? In a complete upset, [...]
Happy Hour: Have A Comcastic Weekend
Following suit with the TVA and NES, Comcast is getting ready to jack up their rates by 3.5%. AT&T says they’re coming to the rescue, though. [WKRN]
Speaking of bills and such, if you’re not registered to vote, you may be totally excited to hear that you can register to vote while you pay your astronomically [...]
Raisin’ McCain At The Belmont Mansion [John Rich]
If John McCain is going to be anywhere in the vicinity, then we know John Rich probably isn’t too far away. Tuesday’s debate is no exception since we’ve just learned that Rich will be at the Belmont Mansion early Tuesday morning to show off his rhinestone Wranglers to the world on a special live filming [...]
