My Sister May Be The Blog Master But She Doesn't Have A Nobel Peace Prize Winner

I am sure I am the only Metro Council member in Nashville that represents a US Vice President. I am pretty sure that I am the only Metro Council member in Nashville that represents a Nobel Peace Prize winner. The fact that those two are the same person, Vice President Al Gore, should be of no consequence.

I was rubbing these facts into my friend and colleague, Jason Holleman today. (Open Meetings Law police, be not afraid. Jason was toting me home after my car broke down.) Jason represents the 24th District (the Fighting 24th as Freddie O' says) and has the privilege to represent Senator Bill Frist and Senator Lamar Alexander. So, you can see we are in a little bit of a grudge match.

When I pointed out Vice President Gore's big win in Stockholm, Jason's retort was unanswerable. Vice President Gore may have chosen to live in District 23 but he chose the Park Cafe in District 24 to celebrate. No new smoke free Sperry's? No new format Whitfield's? The shame! The ignominy!

I shall never live this down until I bring up the more-than-one multi-Grammy award winners that populate the 23rd and hope he doesn't know where Alison Krauss lives.
