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 [...]
Happy Hour: At Least Someone’s Making Bank
Many things came out of the TVA gripe fest this morning: For instance, we now know that the 20% rate increase on our electric bills is going straight into the CEO’s pocket! [WSMV]
We also know that we may be getting a break in our bills if the cost of fuel keeps going down (read: paying [...]
Bright & Early: Oh, Thank Heaven Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday we mentioned that the someone may finally be ready to buy our gimpy minor league baseball club, the Sounds. The folks that want to buy them, based out of New York, could announce the deal as early as today. There are some other possibilities on the table that could pull them [...]
Happy Hour: Take Us Out Of The Ballgame
After a standoff between the team and the Metro Council that seems like it’s gone on forever, someone might finally buy the freaking Sounds. Not sure who’d want them after the season they had this year, but we’re just happy to have it (almost) over with. [WSMV]
Is Joe The Plumber going country? Gosh, we hope [...]
Happy Hour: Bring Back The Hanging Chads
Williamson County is gloating about how their early elections have gone on without a hitch, and they can’t figure out why we’re having so much trouble over here. [WKRN]
If you never did the TVA’s free home energy audit, you’re in luck! They’ve extended the program for another year because they really, really, really want you [...]
Bright & Early: The Plan Is To Have A Plan Edition
Mayor Dean was out yesterday plugging his new plan to give the downtown riverfront a makeover. What are they actually planning on doing, you ask? Well, nobody knows yet. The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency has been charged with the task of coming up with a plan for the space, which they may get around [...]
Bright & Early: Going Batty Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We knew the Sounds were having a bad season, but we didn’t realize it was on track to be the worst one in franchise history. With just 14 games left in the season, they’re going to have to pull off 10 wins if they want to dodge that milestone. We’ve always been [...]
Bright & Early: Welcome To August Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We realized while driving to work this morning that not only is today the first day of August, but next week is also the last week we won’t have to drive through eleven school zones on the way to the interstate. While we might complain about the inconvenience on our commute, several [...]
Bright & Early: Huddled Masses Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If you’ve been keeping score in Councilman Eric Crafton’s English First debate, he’s now saying that he has half of the 10,000 signatures he needs to get the ordinance on the ballot this November. If it passes, it’ll require that all city business, communications and publications have to take place in English. [...]
