Bright & Early: The Weather Outside Is Frightful Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The National Weather Service believes that 40 tornadoes touched down in Tennessee on April 27-28th including a couple of EF4 tornadoes in the ‘Noog and surrounding counties. Bledsoe, Cocke, Johnson, McMinn, Monroe and Rhea counties were also the latest Tennessee counties to be given disaster declarations yesterday. This tornado season seems to be one [...]
Bright & Early: Words To Live By Editon
Good morning, Nashville. Mayor Dean announced a new study yesterday that will examine Nashville’s flood preparedness situation (or lack thereof) and hopefully come up with some ways to have it be a little less devastating the next time we experience a 1,000-year flood. State and federal agencies will team up with local ones to look [...]
Happy Hour: Ready, Set, Fight
We’re not sure which is funnier: The fact that Stephen Colbert almost had a Knoxville building named after him, the honorary parking space they gave him instead, or guy holding up Colbert’s honorary parking sign in all of the photos whose name is “Chuck Morris.” [KnoxNews] Or maybe that everyone’s favorite blogging state rep Stacey [...]
Bright & Early: Get On The Bus Edition
Good morning, Nashville. This weekend was a good one for the Titans, who took down the Buffalo Bills 21-18 in their first preseason game of 2009. We hear Kerry Collins put on quite a show until Vince Young took over in the second quarter. The opening game was not without incident, however, as runningbacks Chris [...]
Happy Hour: Okay, These Twitter Wars Are Getting Ridiculous

Happy Hour: Stickin’ It To The Man
We absolutely have to brag on our friends Christian Grantham (Nashville Is Talking) and Frank Strovel for making it onto TechCrunch this afternoon after calling out the Associated Press for not knowing a dang thing about the internets. Well played, boys. [TechCrunch] Our favorite bloggin’ state rep Stacey Campfield thinks that poor people shouldn’t be [...]
Bright & Early: Here’s A Llama, There’s A Llama Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In case you didn’t catch Governor Phil’s budget talk last night (it’s okay, we didn’t either), he announced a few pretty-big-but-predictable changes that will be happening over the next few years and will hopefully make the state a little less broke than we are right now. Overall, he wants to scale back [...]
Bright & Early: Everybody Hates Taxes Edition
Good morning, Nashville. As much as we love our Preds, we can’t help but get a little bit bummed out when we hear that they could owe us as much as $400,000 in ticket taxes they, um, forgot to pay. Both city and team officials are still working on sorting out the mess, but it [...]
House Parties and Hill Drama
Our favorite blogging member of the Tennessee House, Rep. Stacey Campfield, set the internet rumor mill on fire last week when he posted about an alleged reception for Tennessee lawmakers at Deja Vu Showgirls strip club downtown. The story is that the Tennessee Cabaret Association’s lobbyist Tracy O’Neill (who also lobbies within the Metro Nashville [...]
