March Madness

Shock and Horror in Knoxville

Lady Vols NOT in Obama's Final Four

All of Knoxville is reeling today from an Associated Press Story in the esteemed "Knoxville News Sentinel" that President Obama did not pick the Lady Vols for the Final Four, in his vaunted and highly anticipated March Madness Brackets.

Shock in Knoxville

This will teach you Knoxville.  Our President is notoriously thin-skinned.  He never, ever, ever forgets a slight.  If Knoxville will remember, Obama did not carry Tennessee in either the 2008 or 2012 Presidential elections.  He DID win Connecticut in both the 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections.  

With his pick of Connecticut, the President is telling Knoxville and all of Tennessee to go jump in the Tennessee River.  

And, according to the article, when he hosted Connecticut's Lady Huskies (such an unfortunate name) last year, he promised team center Stefanie Dolson a dance-off if Connecticut repeated this year.  Actually, although I am not a basketball fan, I say "Go Lady Vols", if only to prevent another humiliation for our uber-cool (cough, giggle, snort) President.

In other, far less important news, that plane is still missing, Vladimir Putin is still trying to make up for his shortcomings and there will be llama races in Knoxville's World's Fair Park.

From the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains, that is all for now.
