An excerpt from the eastside.

Patricia Ann Pierce of Harriman, director of the Opportunity Development Center at Vanderbilt University, was appointed today by Governor Phil Bredesen to serve on Tennessee’s Human Rights Commision.

You know how the old saying goes, opinions are like...everyone's got one. Well, this concept was on full display in the Tennessean, as they consulted various Tennessee Democrats for their advice to Obama on how he might win.

Stacey Campfield reports that the local news media and Governor Bredesen are suddenly against specialty plates in Tennessee. Representative Campfield observes "They had no problem with the system until a pro life plate was allowed by the state a few years ago."

Yes, folks, hell has frozen over. First, my apologies to Governor Bredesen for hurting his reputation as much as my own for publicly saying I agree with him about anything.

Via a Lydia Lenker email:

Governor Bredesen has no public events scheduled for the week of July 7.

Mary Perren lauds Governor Bredesen’s unprecedented and revolutionary attempt to streamline government through state employee buyouts:

Governor Bredesen on the buyouts:

“I urged them to focus on middle management, which like in any business tends to get a little big around the middle,” Bredesen told reporters after a bill signing ceremony.

He took a sweeter time doing it than even Governor Bredesen but, tonight, former Vice President Al Gore will appear alongside Barack Obama in Detroit and endorse the Democratic nominee for President:
