The Founding of Nashborough

Founded in 1779, our fair community of Nashborough tooks its first wobbly steps upon the banks of the Cumberland River. In an early display of political spin, our leaders changed the name of our community to Nashville, demonstrating disdain for our British oppressors and favor for our revolutionary French brethren.

In commemoration of the bicentennial of our city (I know ... 2006 and 1779 ...? Such are the vagaries of technicalities) I thought it was time to add my voice to the growing chorus of bloggers. In honor of the political spin that lies at the very heart of our beloved Nashville, Nashborough Politics will attempt to cut through the mud-slinging, innuendo, and general hoopla. Nashborough Politics brings you all the happenings in Tennessee politics with a unique style.

I am no one of particular import, just a news-junkie with some skills that both politicans and journalists assume none of us possess: critical thinking skills and a knack for logically correct argument.

Enjoy!
