I doubt that this was the sort of courtesy for which the South is so famous, but there are big doin's over at Capitol Hill today. See Sharon Cobb's running account. She's even nabbed the attention of Michael Moore, who's working on a documentary about healthcare, so I imagine Governor Bredesen is understandably worried.
Hey, speaking of which, I ran into him on Sunday at the Green Hills McDonalds, lookin' a little peaked. Ironic that his 2-cheeseburger combo was brought to him and prepared by people about to be hard hit by his proposals, but then, I suspect that he knows that his constituents don't necessarily know what their best interests are nor who best represents them. Fact o' business, I think that's how he figures to stay in office.
Anyway, I recall ol' Phil is not a Nashville native. Neither am I, but I have been learning gradually about its rich history.
He might do well to remember...
...Nashville pretty well invented the sit-in right here.

No invention in Nashville, just a close copy. I've never heard of Nashville a center of civil rights activities. Try Greensboro, N.C.
