I’m sorry to see that Newsweek is for sale, because I hate to see journalists lose their jobs — and yes, I know that it’s only for sale, not shutting down, but come on, I think we all know where this is going. I can’t think of the last time I saw a copy of…

Excerpt: Dale Mcalpine was handing out leaflets to shoppers when he told a passer-by and a gay police community support officer that, as a Christian, he believed homosexuality was one of a number of sins that go against…

Nashville sportswriter Patten Fuqua wonders: The Cumberland River crested at its highest level in over 80 years. Nashville had its highest rainfall totals since records began. People drowned.
