He Who Smelt it Dealt It
Posted on April 21, 2008 at 9:48 amMary Mancini has a bit of a problem with conservative talker Steve Gill’s assertion that the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006 is responsible for the recent hike in gas prices:
So what does it mean that the average price of gas rose a stunning $1.50 between January 2001 and August 2006 when Republicans had control of both Congress and the White House?

Post Politics: 2 April 2008
Posted on April 8, 2008 at 9:38 amAl Gore confidant Roy Neel dismissed speculation that Gore might step up as a compromise candidate at a fractured Democratic Convention during a “Kitchen Cabinet” meeting of Nashville progressives.
Our Gannett-owned daily fell prey to a bit of April Fool’s mischief by a local progressive radio duo’s farcical press release about a joint venture with conservative talk maven Steve Gill.
Tennessee Republican Party spokesman Bill Hobbs was told to cough up $200 to procure a copy of a tape capturing the construction going on at the Governor’s Executive Residence. Department of Finance and Administration spokeswoman Lola Potter subsequently relayed to Hobbs that the state has no obligation to release the tape to him under open records laws as the tape is in the possession of the contractor.
Salemtown blogger Mike Byrd reports that police tell him that they are investigating alleged prostitution by residents of the Union Rescue mission.
Former School Board member Kay Brooks discusses the departure of incumbent Marsha Warden from the District 9 race for the board. Councilman Eric Crafton has picked up papers to run for that seat. Alan Coverstone, a blogger and an economics and government teacher at Montgomery Bell Academy, has also picked up the necessary papers to make the race.
Two bloggers from the left side of the aisle note and take issue with the appointment of an attorney who resides in Belle Meade, a satellite city not subject to Metro zoning laws, to the Metro Zoning Board of Appeals.
And finally, a blast from the past. While our Governor has as of late struck a pose as an impartial, uncommitted superdelegate in search of closure in the Democratic race for President, he did not always seem as such.
In 2005, Phil Bredesen had this to say about the imminent Hillary Clinton campaign for President:
“People love her or they hate her and I don’t know in the end how all that plays out. But I sure hope there are other people who would step forward.”
