If you appreciate not having to avoid the smoking section in Tennessee restaurants since 2007, thank the legacy of @RoyHerron . Roy badgered @PhilBredesen so much about the need for an indoor smoking ban in 2006 that PNB made it his #1 priority during the 2007 legislative session.

The top five oil companies alone—Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips—brought in more than 300 percent more in profits than in the first quarter of 2021. That is a total of more than $35 billion in profits in just three months.

This is madness: school shootings make gun manufacturers rich. Did you know school shootings are always followed by spikes in gun manufacturers’ stock prices? As parents in Texas are identifying their children Smith and Wesson’s stock is already up almost 10% today

The brand new Hillsboro High School campus is spectacular, but every time I drive under this sign I think about a conversation Amy and I had about the short-lived (one season - 1984) Memphis USFL team: the Memphis Showboats. “It’s just not a very menacing mascot.”
