Just for future reference.... The Music City Brewer's Fest is a LOT of fun and sells out quickly so next year, get your tickets early!!! We were lucky enough to get to go and had a blast as usual! We met a lot of great people, tried tons of new (new to us) beers, and had great food! Couldn't ask for a better day. Just make sure you wear something that you aren't afraid to get beer spilled on.

War and Peace

Justin Mundie seems to think that pacifism or non-violence for reasons other than spirituality is irrational.  There are two main problems with this line of reasoning from my perspective.  First, there is an assumption made that there is a strong case made by Jesus Christ for non-violence.  With this idea I agree.  By saying that pacifism without the Christian framework to hold it up is irrational is to say that God's calling to us is irrational.  Perhaps God asks his people to do things that are actually detrimental to His people, but asks anyways just to see if they will do it, but I tend to be of the opinion that the things God wants us to do he wants us to do because they are ultimately beneficial for us.  As a corrollary to this, everything that God wants us to do could be done by someone living a good life in outer Mongolia who has never heard of Jesus Christ because living being good is what we are called to do.

Second, Justin Mundie can't name a pacifist nation that is a terrorist target.

Tennesse Senate Watch - Bob Corker

Wonkette had this on its site a few days ago.  Apparently Bob Corker's daughter is on facebook doing some un-right-wing-Evangelical-Christian -republican things.

Tennessee Senate Ad Watch - Bob Corker

Apparently Bob Corker is really a Democrat


Several things.  First, Tennessee politics has never really followed the typical left-right conventional wisdom.  In a conservative state in the South, we have had Democrat governors going back years.  The democrat we now have as the governor isn't exactly a stereotypical "tax and spend liberal" as he has actually worked to reduce Tenncare spending in Tennessee (to the disdain of sick freeloaders everywhere).  So the idea that Bob Corker can't be a good republican senator because he has worked with democrats is horse shit.

Second, does anyone else find it somewhat strange that it insinuates that if Bob Corker had a love child with any of the male democrats mentioned in the video that the offspring would have been marginally black candidate Harold Ford Jr.?

Music City Brewers Festival

Today is the Music City Brewers Fest.  2pm to 8pm of all the beer you can drink in Hilton Park downtown Nashville.  Good luck getting tickets...it's sold out.

The greatest benefit of alcohol is the ability to make the end of the day worth going through all the bullshit you have to put up with from 9-5. That is all.

Wonkette reports that last night on Donny Deutche on CNBC, evil bitch Ann Coulter announced that she believes Bill Clinton is gay. I almost feel like redacting her name and just putting "evil bitch" just so her name won't appear one more time on a google search, but then anyone reading this might be confused about whether I am talking about Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin.

I guess everything has a beginning and this is it. I am a young professional male living in Nashville. I am about to be married to X who is a young female professional in Nashville. For the time being, I plan on keeping a vague profile on here until I flesh out a little more the nature of this blog. X will also contribute to this blog and we'll see where it goes.
