So where’s Los Angeles on this list of worst drivers? It ain’t there!! See, I knew it all along! This article proves that LA drivers are not crazy or "the worst", it’s all the idiot out-of-town drivers from South Carolina, Missouri and Tennessee that screw it up for everyone. I feel completely justified now in my frustration with Nashville drivers.

I can’t decide whether to say, "it’s about time!" or "too little too late" regarding Pac Man’s suspension from the NFL. One the one hand I’m glad he’s finally no longer getting away with murder on and off the field; finally he’s getting called on the carpet for his atrocious behavior. On the other hand, one year?!?!? Only one year?!?! Come on, guys. His career should be over. Honestly, this should have happened last year. — You know, I’d be a Titan fan if it weren’t for Pac Man. I can’t stand to watch the team when he plays. Even if he plays well I know eventually he’ll screw it up by letting his temper get the best of him. He needs some serious help and the Titans weren’t doing right by him by continuing to employ him and allowing him to play without consequence. At least the NFL has the compassion and wisdom to require counseling for the dude. He needs it. As for the Titans, they need to fire Jones and use his huge salary to get some consistently good players. I hope the Titans kick butt and take names this season, and prove to the owners they don’t need the expense of Pac Man Jones to have a quality, winning team. —- Of course, this comes from a girl who knows little to nothing about how NFL teams work. I just like the game.

This is so sad. I have to admit, I never paid attention to Johnny Cash while he was alive, and didn’t know much about him at all until I watched "Walk the Line". Even now I’m not a huge fan but I appreciate his music, his legacy and his heart. To hear people talk about this house, its as if it was as much a part of Johnny’s legacy as his music. I’d heard Barry Gibb was planning to turn at least part of it into a Cash museum kind of thing and that’s part of why they were renovating it. Anyway, I feel bad for everyone involved. It kind of feels like we’ve lost a piece of American history. —- Not to mention the teenage-rabid-Bee Gees-fan in me was desperate for some Barry Gibb sitings around town. Looks like that ain’t gonna happen any time soon.

Yeah, but can he carry other states? Or at least enough to win against Hillary or Obama? I like Fred Thompson as an actor, and I wish I’d lived here when he was a senator so I could judge his politics. But as much as I like him, I worry that even if he gets the nomination, he won’t be electable. I need a whole lot more information about his platform before I can get on this boat. — And by the way, what the—is this little gem from the Tennessean?

When former vice president and Tennessean Al Gore is added to the list of declared and potential candidates, Clinton’s lead slipped to 28 percent to Gore’s 25 percent.

Has Tennessee lost its collective mind?!?!? He’s out of Tennessee politics for a few years and you forget what an idiot he is (can you say the 2000 debates? sure you can! Here’s a good site to remind you, in case you forgot)? Come on, Tennessee, he didn’t even carry his own state in 2000. Don’t get stupid now just because Hollywood is slobbering mad for him. He hasn’t changed.

Finally, I am so sick of this story. When, I ask you, when will it finally go away?? I didn’t care about Anna Nicole’s life when she was alive, I certainly don’t care about it now that she’s dead. Can we please let her and all her drama rest in peace and actually get back to real news??? — On a side note, however, I feel so very sad for this little girl. She is gonna have some major abandonment and trust issues, with all this crap that’s gone on around her during such a crucial bonding time in her little life. As a woman whose mom was struggling with depression and incredible fear of her husband dying in Vietnam during the first 8 months of her life, and who didn’t see her dad for the first 8 months, only to have him leave again for a year when I was maybe 2 (I really can’t remember), I get how all this chaos, depression and loss is impacting her little soul. It breaks my heart.

I feel like a dork. Here I thought I was blogging on the "latest news" only to finally catch up on my reading over at Nashville is Talking and discover I’m nearly 12 hours behind the rest of Nashville. Such is the life of a full time career-girl/student, who spends her days buried in PowerPoint presentations and her nights buried in the books.
