Hard to believe that Big Mouth Kiffin was not the first coach fined under the SEC's new Stop Bitching About the Refs policy. That honor goes to Florida's Urban Meyer, who was touched up for $30 Large for a comment he made after the Georgia game...

SEC refs suck. I base that on the Vandy-South Carolina game. If you need me, I'll be in the Big Ten...

Willie Nelson packed 'em in the Ryman last night...

The Nashville Broncs of the American Basketball Association are now the Music City Stars. Look for their games at Lipscomb’s Allen Arena...

Metro Parks Director Roy Wilson said he's considering resigning. The question I have is, why hasn't this guy been fired?...

Metro councilman Matt Crafton has figured out closing the fairgrounds is a bad idea. He's also figured out that as a councilman, he had no vote in the matter. He plans legislation to give the fair and the fairgrounds one more year, and an ordinance that would save the fairgrounds...

Tower Investments has sued for access to the Metropolitan Development & Housing Agency’s public records in Davidson County Chancery Court, claiming MDHA has refused access to appraisals it conducted on three Tower parcels that would be impacted by a new convention center...

What is the Sausage Maker hiding?...

I know of a school board member in Florida who spent some time in jail for not releasing public records. I think that's appropriate...

Montae Gary Brockett, of Nashville, is accused of stealing more than $100 Large from his employer, Citizens Savings Bank & Trust...

The City of Franklin must be run by morons. First, they fire a guy for allegedly having porno on his city computer without actually investigating how the smut got there. That wound up costing the taxpayers $2 Extra Large. Now a former cop with 15 years on the job is suing, claiming the city broke employment and disability laws by firing him after he had taken medical leave for surgery...

Looks like taxpayers in Franklin may be bending over again...

Titans running back Chris Joh... errrrrr Every Coaches Dream, said he'll buy a new car for each of his offensive linemen if he rushes for 2,000 yards this season...

Check the reliability ratings Every and stay away from Chrysler and GM...

Yeah, that's a Chrysler sitting in my driveway. Hey - I had an AMC once. It can't get that bad...

I loved that AMC. It was my first car and guys always love their first car. But it was a piece of crap...

I usually drive my cars until the wheels fall off, but I expect that to be well after 25,000 miles...

Our ol' buddy Vic Lineweaver is in the news again. And again it's for him not working...

The Juvenile Court Clerk is up for re-election next year. Yeah, right. Like that's going to happen.

The all-time classic is still when TV cameras caught him coming out of his house, in the middle of a work day, in his pajamas and slippers to get his mail, when he was supposedly at a "meeting"...

Ford scored a profit of $1 XX Large for the third quarter. You know Ford. The Detroit automaker that did not take taxpayer money or go bankrupt...

Speaking of taxpayer money, now the government says GM and Chrysler may not be able to pay back that money. No kidding...

Consumer Reports has released their predicted reliability ratings, a measure of the likelihood of a car having problems down the road...

The most reliable brands are Scion, Honda, Toyota, Infiniti, and Acura. The most reliable of the Detroit Three: Mercury (ninth on the list)...

The least reliable cars: Saturn, Jeep, Dodge, Cadillac, and Chrysler...

Gee. The two bankrupt companies make the most unreliable cars. Imagine that...

Newest members of the Music City Walk of Fame: Dolly Parton, Ernest Tubb, Kid Rock, Tootsie Bess and Charlie Daniels...

The Metro school district is being accused by some of racial segregation...

Hardly a surprise when one bigoted school board member's first thought on the new administrator was the color of his skin...

And Karen Johnson, you don't need to stalk me like you did the last time I called you a bigot. Your world is divided into black and white...

The Metro Parks and Recreation Department's deficit for the current fiscal year could reach $1.77 Extra Large. Yet that asshole Karl Dean wants to close the fairgrounds, which costs the taxpayers zip...

Tennessee will start selling Mega Millions lottery tickets. Another tax on the stupid...

The Christmas Music of Mannheim Steamroller will be at TPAC on November 21st...

A suspicious package wreaked havoc with the Music City Star this afternoon. Turned out to be a wooden step ladder wrapped in plastic. Hope that was worth ruining your commute home...

Noticed a large sign on a road near my home yesterday that warned me of road construction ahead. Beneath it was an equally large sign that had a lot of writing that was too small to read as I drove by (unless I wanted to have an accident). There was only one thing on the lower sign I could read. It told me that Karl Dean is the mayor...

I never trust politicians who feel a need to spend taxpayer money to have their names placed on road signs, whether it be a governor, mayor, highway commissioner or whatever. Just how large an ego does that take?...

A politician would have to have an ego the size of a, uh... large sausage...

There will be free ice skating in hell this week, courtesy of the Titans...

Earlier this year I gave Chris Johnson a bunch of crap for wanting to be called Every Coaches Dream. Well, he might be...

Props my man. Good job Chris... errrrr... Every Coaches Dream. Well done...

Man talks a lot and he backs it up...

The Metro school board gave $33 Large to someone for a legal settlement, but they won't tell us to whom or why. How come I don't like that?...

The 2009-2010 apartment fire season is underway in Nashville...

Larry Woody wrote a great piece in The City Paper today. He asks why the city wants to shut down the fairgrounds, which doesn't cost the taxpayers a dime, and not the municipal golf courses or other city-owned venues that do receive taxpayer subsidies. Good question...

As usual, Larry nails it...

Vandy QB Larry Smith is out for the season, due to a hamstring tear...

An Army Special Forces soldier has been arrested following the discovery of about 100 pounds of explosives outside his home near Clarksville. Nothing scary about that...

The Fairgrounds Speedway is closed forever and the All American 400 is cancelled. After 51 years, they didn't even get a chance to have a final race...

Karl Dean is an asshole...

From this point forward I will work to do to the Sausage Maker what he did to the fairgrounds...

Race fans - bend over and grab your ankles. Then grab your golf clubs and head for a taxpayer-subsidized municipal course...

Alan Jackson was at the Cracker Barrel in Mt. Juliet today...

Had a reader from New Orleans try to tell me last week that his city is the live music capital. Let's see, in the past couple of days we've had Keith Urban play a phone store and Alan Jackson at a Cracker Barrel. Hell, my barber has live bluegrass on Saturdays in the shop. My barber!...

Get some live music in your phone stores and barber shops New Orleans and I'll listen to your argument...

Reid is still on the job. As a taxpayer who helps pay for his salary and that patrol car, that kinda pisses me off...

The Southeastern Conference will issue stiffer penalties to whiny coaches who complain about the officiating. Of course if the SEC had some decent refs, they probably wouldn't have so many crybaby coaches. Like those blind losers who officiated the South Carolina-Vanderbilt game...

The referees are so bad in the SEC, they've already had to suspend an entire officiating crew...

But I'm sure those people weren't going to spend any money in Nashville. I doubt that the idiot Sausage Maker has any idea who comes from where to utilize that speedway.

The speedway takes no taxpayer money. Sommet Center does. Based on the Sausage Maker's twisted logic, I expect Sommet Center to be torn down next year...

Looks like we've circled back to the wine in grocery stores issue in Tennessee. Guess I need to reset my take on that...

The only reason to prohibit grocery and convenience stores from selling wine is to use the power of government to interfere with the free market and protect the owners of liquor stores...

While it may help the owners of liquor stores, interfering with the free market is not beneficial to society as a whole. It has the opposite affect...

I do not understand why liquor stores deserve some sort of protection that other mom-and-pop stores did not get from shopping malls and Wal-Mart...

My father owned a shoe store on main street in small town America, and he didn't go whining to government when the big mall opened down the highway...

Or when Wal-Mart opened down the street...

I have zero sympathy for liquor store owners. I say sell wine everywhere...

Hate to blame the officials for losing a football game, but when they blow a call even after using instant replay, that is simply unacceptable. As in South Carolina's first touchdown against Vandy on Saturday...

Information trickling in on ambulance wreck

Information about that fatal ambulance wreck on I-65 Thursday afternoon is slowly starting to come together, but questions remain.

The Franklin firefighter who was driving the Rural Metro ambulance, David Cline, 36, had gotten off a 24-hour fire shift at 6:00 Thursday morning. The accident happened about 4:00 that afternoon.

The driver of the TDOT truck, Robert Green, 60, does not remember why he pulled over to the breakdown lane and parked. He did not have his emergency lights on, and was not required to since he was not attempting to control the flow of traffic. TDOT discourages the use of emergency lights unless they are needing to control traffic because it encourages rubbernecking from people driving by.

Cline, along with 78-year-old Sue Bly, who was the patient in the back of the ambulance, were killed in the wreck.

So the big question that remains unanswered is: Why was the ambulance moving in the breakdown lane for a non-emergency run?

Yesterday a Rural Metro ambulance driver and the 78-year-old woman being transported by the ambulance was killed on I-65 near Shelby Avenue when the ambulance went into the breakdown lane and piled into a TDOT truck that was there...

The woman was returning to a retirement home after a dialysis treatment. It was not an emergency run. Which brings the question: What was the ambulance doing in the breakdown lane?

I have an insensitive thought about this, but contrary to my normal method of operation, I will keep it to myself due to the incredible tragedy that occurred...

I saw one broadcast report that stated the TDOT truck's flashing emergency lights were not on. I have not seen that confirmed in any other media report. If that is true, another question is raised: Why was the truck in the breakdown lane without the emergency lights on...

Obviously this tragedy is the result of an error, and possibly multiple errors. Hopefully we can learn more over the next several days, and hopefully we can all learn something from this...

Nissan will launch its first line of commercial vehicles next year...

TVA is building a large hillside public overlook for spectators to watch the cleanup of their Kingston coal-ash disaster. I think everyone who is worshipping plug-in electric cars as the savior of the environment should be required to go there...

Williamson County is offering a reward up to $10 Large for information on the dirtbag(s) who ransacked the main branch of the Williamson County library...

I hate it when gas prices are jumping around so much, as they are now. Not only does the price change quickly, but one cannot depend on the same station having the best price. In normal times (whatever the hell that is), station A may always be cheaper than station B or station C, but these days, that's not the case...

If you rob a grocery store pharmacy, then point a fake gun at the cops, they will shoot you. Apparently the 27-year-old male who robbed the Kroger at 595 Hillsboro Road last night did not know this, and learned the hard way...

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled unanimously yesterday that anonymous tips are sufficient cause for the cops to stop suspected drunken drivers. So if you're mad at someone and want to get even, you know what to do...

Those of you who are all bent out of shape over Jeff Fisher wearing a Peyton Manning jersey yesterday need to get a life...

Fisher actually apologized for it. Why?...

And for the Titan players who didn't like it, grow up. If you played better, people wouldn't call you losers. Jeff Fisher doesn't block or tackle, throw the ball or run with it...

Memo to Titan player: When the Boston Patriots set you back 59-0, it wasn't because you were out-coached. I'm pretty sure your poor play had something to do with it...

Regions Bank is closing six branches in the Nashville area...

Regions may be the worst bank ever. Had a car loan with them once, and they didn't send me the title for two years after I paid it off. Another time I had to complain to the Better Business Bureau to get them to send me coupons for my mortgage. Meanwhile, I was walking into one of their banks to pay it each month, and they kept insisting I was not paying. Assholes...

Regions is one of those banks that does not need to exist...

A fairgrounds preservation group is claiming the Sausage Maker's attempt at taking over the fairgrounds is illegal. They are basing their argument on state legislation from 1901 that authorized Davidson County to issue the bonds for the purchase of the fairgrounds. Furthermore, the preservationist claim the city charter places oversight of the fairgrounds exclusively with the fair board. The Sausage Maker's office said they checked with their lawyers and it ain't so...

Well excuse me all to hell, but just because some pinhead government lawyer says something does not mean it is correct...

I used to work for a municipal government. One of my favorites was when their lawyer said it was alright to not provide retirement benefits to those who were not in perfect health. Guess the idiot never heard of the American with Disabilities Act...

Nearly ten years after ADA became law, they said oops and had to backtrack. Then it was time for the taxpayers to bend over...
