Mr. Mack really hits this one out of the ballpark. I imagine that he pointed to the outfield like Babe Ruth did letting folks know that he was, indeed, going to hit a home run and it was going into the cheap seats. In my mind, I’m imagining the strategy session at the candidate’s...
As people around the state are helping others, it’s always good to remember everyone who lost during the floods earlier this month. Tent City residents are running out of time. The shelters are closing and homeless advocates who want to build a new encampment aren’t having any luck finding a new site. Many Tent...
Ronal Serpas is the new head honcho in New Orleans after serving time in Nashville as chief of police. So, ummm, what is this? Secret files and audio recordings that were part of a private investigation about the way former Police Chief Ronal Serpas kept Nashville crime statistics were reported stolen earlier this month....
S-Town Mike has a commentary about the focus on commerce over the human tragedy in Nashville. The receding flood waters are going to give up more dead Middle Tennesseans in the next few days and weeks. Before we party we need to mourn and bury our dead. We’ve got a bulging population of homeless...
First, Aunt B on the lack of national media coverage (sounds like Hurricane Elvis, eh, Memphians?): I can’t tell you how sick to my stomach it makes me that none of the national news stations are covering this.

Enclave took a two-month break from blogging. His hiatus is over and last night he wrote about taking his daughter to school and what ended up happening. There is no secular attack on religion in helping children understand when to use a question mark or a period, even if that help occurs during a...
Maria Brewer has the details. This week I’m going to do something special. There’s an event coming up that I don’t want you to miss just because you didn’t hear about it. It’s going to be your chance to show, in the simplest of terms, what being a proud Tennessean is all about. You...
GoldnI is focusing on Jeff Yarbro’s use of the innertubes to make some dough-re-mi, but inside her post she points out how interesting his campaign is From the candidate’s Flickr site going to get. I don’t know how much competition any candidate today would really have in raising money online, since our politicians in...
It’s Not Just Happening Here, Folks
Sean Braisted reports that the number of Davidson County voters pulling GOP primary ballots are almost as many as those pulling Democratic ballots: With the first day in from the start of expanded early voting polling sites, it looks as if Republicans have all but eliminated the early voting lead held by Democrats in...
