Damn. They're talking about the possibility of car/truck bombs in Nashville.

BREAKING/(CON'T): Bomb squad is requesting NFD personnel to put out some small fires so they can further investigate. Special OPS confirms they have received information there could be additional devices in vehicles, advising personnel to stay away from all vehicles downtown.

Charlie Pierce: Not Everything Is a Commodity. Not Every Human Interaction Has to Be A Deal.

Not Everything Is a Commodity. Not Every Human Interaction Has to Be a Deal.
This Christmastime, I hunger for something that exists only for its own sake, something that cannot be coined or bartered. I am tired of living in an emotional counting house

"Not every human interaction has to be a deal. Not every human emotion is an instrument of exchange. Whatever art there is in The Deal is crude and obvious, without nuance or subtlety. The art comes in the space between two human beings because they are human beings, equal in the eyes of Whoever and under the law. Power and influence are cheap materials. Humanity, stumbling and flawed, is the indelible medium through which the true art of living is rendered."
