Happy Hour: We Can Sag If We Want To
What a relief it is to know that we probably will not be fined for showing the cracks of our butts anytime soon! Our heroic state attorney general said that the Saggy Pants Bill is “arguably unconstitutionally vague because it does not set forth a standard for its violation that may be readily understood.” Phew. [...]
Bright & Early: Happy Birthday, Al Gore Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We were trying to ignore the whole Al Gore Earth Hour saga, but in honor of his birthday today, we’ll give you the rundown.

That said, we’re realizing that we’ve finally outgrown our hosting (hooray!) and we’ll be upgrading tonight so we can be back in full force [...]
Happy Hour: Keep It Classy, Nashville!
Toby Keith didn’t exactly get the star treatment in Kentucky Saturday night when a fan flipped him off and then tossed a beer at him. Never the kind to be trifled with, Toby did what any self-respecting Okie-turned-Nashvillian would do and hopped off the stage, dropped a few f-bombs, challenged the fan to fight, and [...]
Happy Hour: If A Tree Falls In A Forest…
The Tennessean reports on Mayor Dean’s trail of destruction downtown on Deadrick St.: “Startled passers-by are stopping to stare at the tree carcasses lying across the sidewalk.” [Tennessean]

We may still have hope in [...]
