This is gonna just irritate the fire out of the educrats and the folks who want so badly to tear down the Nashville race track. I had no idea when we watched the amazing end of that race that the...

Considering the upcoming legislation regarding teacher tenure it seems good to remind folks of two older posts regarding my experience as a school board member in the summer of 2006 with this iss...

Local Salemtown blogger Michael Byrd has a got a bone to pick with NashvilleBlogs.org. He's accusing them of stealing his content. There is a difference between aggregating teases to content and...

Bumped into this at http://Indeed.com while surfing the 'net. Clearly, this should come with the disclaimer 'your mileage may vary'.  So letting AC Kleinheider go really was a cost saving measu...

This had me laughing out loud. I know this former member of the US Army was offended by Sen. Barbara Boxer's  insistence on being called "Senator" instead of the still respectful "ma'am". I'm de...

Paying the bills and actually took a moment to read the "Power Notes" included with the Nashville Electric Service bill.  It's no surprise to me that TVA and NES want to raise rates. It's no su...
