Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
Too bad she wasn't carrying.
Re: “Remembering Don Evans, artist, professor and creative catalyst, for whom the big bang was not a theory”
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
Perhaps noitall, but in typical Texas style, there was a taint of superiority in the tone as I perceived! That being said, Betsy was IMHO pretty much spot on in her analysis! Of course, to SOME negative nabobs, NOTHING she could do would suffice.
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
As a native Tennessean who lives about 80 miles from Nashville, I think the entire point is moot. During my brief residence in Nashville, it came to my attention that being a "native" was an anomaly. No one, it appeared, was "from" Nashville. They all moved here from elsewhere. ;) (And no-- there is no reason to give this list much attention. Nor the author. Both are invalid.)
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
NeverFear: That would fly in face of the "more kids + more food-stamps and ADC money fiction that is perpetrated by the holier than thou crowd!
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
And yet, here I am, schooling you...
This is fun! Please, keep on.
Re: “If you sense getting married is a bad idea, don't forever hold your peace — speak now”
Couldn't even finish reading this article. Shame on the author for hurting others by not listening to her own heart.
Re: “Turns Out the Music City Center Will Not Create Jobs for Goats”
Me too AnglRdr! Goats would be almost as awesome as LARP on that rooftop.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Yes, I have much to learn, as do you. Unfortunately, you aren't qualified to do any teaching.
Re: “With the legendary Sen. Douglas Henry out of the picture in 2014, District 21 is up for grabs — perhaps even to the GOP”
Steven,
" In the wake of his retirement, one can easily imagine voters who realize they were more loyal to Henry than to his party, creating a potential opening for the right Republican candidate."
Roughly what % of the old district that was not overwhelming Democratic is still in the new district? That would give us an idea of how many non-Democratic pro-Henry voters might be available for the Republicans to snag. I suspect the percentage is much smaller than your article suggests.
Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
His frustration is completely understandable, and the *desire* to solve the problem as a vigilante is very strong: people who use their cellphones in a theater of any variety should be tarred and feathered, at least figuratively.
But you just do not touch other people's shit.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
But, champ, the thing is you do care, which is why you keep responding to me.
*That's* how good I am at controlling the narrative.
You have much to learn, sport.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Oh, just have at it, sweetheart. Whenever you "remind" me of it, I'll be sure to tell you how much I care.
Keep trying to control the narrative. Just know that you really suck at it.
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we need to get Sylvia Jefferies into a gritty indie drama set in the 1970s, in the South, with John Hawkes as her troubled love interest. There can be a nine-year-old who is weird and dark, and obviously some kind of murder.
Re: “Turns Out the Music City Center Will Not Create Jobs for Goats”
I can see the roof from my office. Goats would be delightful to watch!
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
It wasn't an order, punkin; it was advice.
By all means, continue acting like a pissant. Whine when you get treated like one, and I'll remind you of this conversation.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Stop trying to give people orders, AnglRdr. You aren't in a position to tell anyone else what to do.
Up yours.
Re: “With the legendary Sen. Douglas Henry out of the picture in 2014, District 21 is up for grabs — perhaps even to the GOP”
"District 21 is historically blue, having been represented by Henry for more than 40 years. It is considered to be even more left-leaning after Republicans redrew the district lines in 2011."
Re: “With the legendary Sen. Douglas Henry out of the picture in 2014, District 21 is up for grabs — perhaps even to the GOP”
Rather than these Henry voters waking up and realizing they liked Henry more than Democrats, it seems much likelier to me that the district's love of Henry is what allowed him to continue in the Senate despite his conservatism (and some really risible behavior). I think you can take from Yarbro's almost-coup, and all of our other local officials, that the district can easily support someone bluer than Henry. I was happy to support Yarbro then and now.
I'm no analyst but the idea that a Republican is going to triumph over one of two extremely popular local liberals is just a laugh.
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
How ironic that "Vandy radio" gets resurrected as a fictional station?! I was just glad they didn't call it WRVU. That would've been too painful.
Love these re-caps! I read the AV Club and Rolling Stone ones too and this is my fave (sorry Adam)
