Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville

@Min: I always figgered the Clampetts were from West (by god) Virginia. They got rich by stumbling across oil while "digging for some food and up from the ground came bubbling crude" and as far as I know there is no oil wells in the Ozarks. (There are several leaky pipelines.) However, The Clampetts were a script writer's made up family so he might have thought the Ozarks were in Texas or Oklahoma. Come to think of it the Ozarks might barely touch Oklahoma. Anyway, the way scriptwriters butcher facts about things I do know, I would never accept anything from a script writer or, nowadays, an AP reporter, as fact without further research.

They pollute the White Race and give us a bad name
Think a sister and a wife are one in the same!
Listen to Skynyrd during the day on the job
Chain-smoking hillbilly, whiskey-drinking slob!
Beats the wife daily for sucking negro dick
White trash families just don't deserve to live!

White waste-of-life thinks he's a real man
Sittin' around, getting fat and drinking Bud in a can!
A negro fucked an ape - so AIDS was born
And White trash is the result of the Vietnam War!

Re: “Symphony Lays Off Entire Catering and Dining Staff

There is quite a good cafe there that's open every week day, if not more often; I wonder if these staff members are the ones running that.

Re: “I Think I Know How the Republicans Could Use Scott DesJarlais

Why use DesJarlais when they can go to Dr. Burgess?

Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville

You just have to go outside Nashville and its suburbs, and you have the stereotypes that the guy was pissed about not seeing.

Hillbillies come from the hills, the sticks, the hollers and mountains. You can't make moonshine or meth in the city like you can in rural areas if your business plan lasts more than a few months. People in the less populated counties don't get in such a twist about kissing cousins and using all-terrain vehicles as primary forms of transportation.

I'm not saying every rural Tennessean fits the stereotypes, but they became famous for a reason.

Sounds like a good start. But I'm sorry for those who are now seeking employment.

NeverFear, you are correct: DesJarlais is the best candidate of the Republican options.

Re: “Metro Council, Shrink Thyself

It does not matter how small the Council as long as the body lacks a fully staffed and independent research staff. As long as the major source of information provided to the Council comes from Department heads who owe their jobs to the Mayor, the Council will always be a junior partner.

Similarly, the Charter needs to have the budget system revised so that the Mayor does not have such a huge disparity of power.

If we gave the Council more information and greater responsibility, then they would be in a better position to actually govern and voters would be more inclined to hold them responsible.

The current system is troubled enough under a good Mayor like Karl Dean and far more problematic under a Phil Bredesen {can you say 'Dell deal?'} or a Dick Fulton or a Bill Boner.

Re: “Frank Niceley Takes Up Blogging

Jim, you're clueless and a liar, as usual. I was a gay-equality advocate decades before it was cool to be one, and my name was on it. I don't agree with some of Stacey's legislation, and he knows it. For example, I have never defended anti-gay bills, and I have spoken up against them.

Many people who disagree with Stacey's bills like Stacey. Ask Mike Turner. Don't know if he still does. Ask certain others. I oppose unfair treatment, including falsehoods, employed by the phony "liberals" against a number of folks, including Stacey and including me. The phony left IS what it claims to protest. There is a history, and I have a good memory.

Many, many politicians are selling us out. Have sold us out. But phony lefties are so selective. And not credible.

That was one well-written article. I think he has Nashville pegged.

Re: “Nashville Symphony Musicians Issue Statement Ahead of Contract Negotiations

I read Mrs. Ingram's statement as more a message to the banks and the public at large — as in, "If you're expecting I'll just step in and pay this, rather than you working out an equitable deal with the NSO, think again." This ain't Mrs. Ingram's first rondo with the NSO's finances, and whatever she has (or had) to say to the symphony organization, I doubt she'd deliver it in a public statement.

As for "more engaging entertainment," I'm guessing you haven't attended much.

To Chris's point, $1 on a $15 tab is 7%. That is not insignificant.
