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)

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: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Zoom: "And, BTW, Adam Lanza did NOT obtain his guns legally. He STOLE them."
Nah: Lanza had his mother's permission to handle her guns; he just didn't have her permission to kill her.
