Nashville is a Metro government, though. Meaning that the city and the county it is in are combined. I've never lived there, but if they think 40 seats are good, who am I to argue with them?

This settles issue 2, and said attorneys go on their way pulling in 6 figure salaries in private practice.

Or for him to undergo a field sobriety test every evening for the rest of his life. ( For those not from Texas, the man has a lazy eye that can't follow a finger or pen well).

State's top law enforcement officer does illegal things, has others pay for it. The Onion stories just write themselves at this point.

Imma hammer that bell like a cheap whore!

Always Sunny just sorta wrote itself...

It's the Big Story!
