I don’t really have a lot to say this morning. I think I said myself out yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, the “sense of the commission” resolution on consolidation passed 6-3-1. Two commissioners weren’t in attendance at the time of the vote. The matter comes up again on Monday. Send your Commissioner an email in...
It started last Thursday. I was on my way to Jonesboro, when I choked on some coffee, as I am prone to do from time to time. Actually, I can find a way to swallow just about any drink “down the wrong hole” sending me into a coughing fit that would shake your faith...
I understand why Captain Kona is upset about this sign in his neighborhood. Thankfully, my little neck of the woods here in super liberal midtown Memphis doesn’t normally see that many signs by Republicans. The few that do have Republican signs up in my neighborhood are usually for Haslam, which is about as comforting...
Yesterday I was given the unique opportunity to spend 8 hours in the blazing hot sun, in long pants. Without going into too many details of my work shenanigans, it was for a good cause. But the toll on my body has left me more than a little battered, bruised and burned this morning....
It’s been 19 months since the TVA coal waste spilled in Harriman. I guess it’s a look at comparing disasters. None of them are good, but it’s food for thought about how these two events were man-made. The floods came from the skies. The BP and TVA disasters have fingerprints from lobbying decisions that...
Ahh, long weekends. I think we need more of them. Not because they’re necessarily more relaxing or you get more stuff done that you need to get done over a typical weekend, but because that extra day gives you a little more time to take it easy, hang out with friends and loved ones,...
It’s day two of the Memphis in May’s World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. If you like the ‘Cue this is the place to be. Seriously, Downtown Memphis smells like a slow smoked pork palace, a veritable Valhalla of meats cooked to perfection. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Every year around BBQ...
We noted in Morning Coffee the TVA’s propensity to be public when it’s convenient. Knoxville News Sentinel’s Michael Silence takes them to task and lays the smackdown. I guess if I were $30 BILLION in debt I wouldn’t want to list the untold number of six-figure salaries and obscene bonuses either. Jack Lail also...
Mike Duncan, chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority for the past year, stepped down on Friday from that seat in order to take an active role in a new political fund-raising pac for the right called American Crossroads. He will remain on the TVA board and has been replaced as chair by Dennis Bottorff....
That’s what we plan to do. That also, exactly why there’s a picture of this creepy bunny from the 50′s, well that and I like creepy pictures from the 50′s. There’s so many to choose from! However, there is some stuff going on around here, so I guess I’ll just have to write about...
