HEY DEMS PICK ONE!




WHAT ANOTHER BORE!


Look one of those two “WE WANTA BE THE LEADER OF THE
FREE WORLD” folks need to throw in the towel. It is so bad
The old media (network TV news and cable) now can’t decided which one they want to back to beat McCain AND not one but all of the anchors have that elementary school kid look just before the final bell of the day rings. Best quote of the night was from MSNBC when one of the unknown, never seen before, young white guy “experts” painted Hillary as the old sick family pet that really did need to take that LAST trip to the vet. For the love of Mary (and Peter and Paul) one of them please get out so we can get back to real news like American Idol and Dancing With The Stars!


Great idea was flung over the Cyber Transom this week by a poster.
The writer was talking about all the heat a lady sports type on BIR took when she blew the story about the horse that died in the Derby. Yea old news…but if you missed it just go back to the last blog post and read the notes…ANYWAY the letter also suggested we start making a list of all those names of people and places OFTEN reporters and anchors either can’t say or just don’t take the time to learn when they move to Knoxpatch.

Here be da letter…actually we got more than a few of them. Read and then please send us MORE of the new kid stumbling blocks that instantly identify them as NOT FROM HERE! We shall compile your list and e mail it to all the TV news departments so they can laminate it and hand it out to their newest talent! Oh and PLEASE try to spell correctly. Because the members of our editing staff are all products of the Maryville School System (1950s-1960s) they wouldn’t spot a misspelled word if it few out their donkey and kissed them dead on the mouth.

How about some pictures of McCain?
Today Hillary will win one state but if the convention names her then she will be the president.
Here is another idea, why not a list of things new TV people never can say!
Here is mine:
Tazewell
Maryville
Oak Ridge
Concord
Seymour
Vonore

More?

Looks like six more weeks of primaries now that one saw their shadow and the other went deeper in the hole.

Did Ron Paul fall off the end of the earth? Rememer old man Nader? Right now both of them are looking better than these two.

I saw local news (WBIR) actually report on the road mess as if it is new? As for making fun of the 4th and gill neighborhood my girlfriends mother lives very close to all of the work and as soon has her friend gets back from Chicago they are both going to look for a place to live on the other side of Turkey creek. She said she has not had a full nights sleep since it started and can't find anyone to talk to about the noise and light pollution. Birds are going to die from the bright lights all night long and smaller animals will not breed because of the noise. This is an ecological nightmare and not once person cares.

Ed…Our political staff says Nader
is still in there and he is under the age of 80, which now is the new 79.

As for the thoughts about the 4th and Gill woman moving beyond Turkey Creek, that remark has caused staff to question the validity of your entire post. NO self respecting 4th and Gill resident would ever consider moving close to a former swamp that has been defiled with concrete, under ground environmentally dangerous electrical wiring and numerous places that sell cooked and raw RED MEAT! Remember before the monolithic horror was constructed there WAS a beautiful wetland filled with some of Mother Earth’s most fragile creatures. Shame, shame, shame on those who now walk above their T tiny little graves!

Uh, the poster who corrected the spellings also misspelled one:

it's Luttrell, not Lettrell.

But anyway...here are some pronouncers.

Luttrell is lut'trul

Blount is like blunt

Sevier is like severe

Oak Ridge is Oak RIDGE, not OAK Ridge.

Maryville is Murr'ville

Seymour...see'more

Neyland is knee'land (not nay-land)

Heiskell is high'skul, not high school

Petros is pee'tross

Oneida is oh-nye'-da

Corryton should be easy, but most people say corrington

Louisville is lewis'vull

Tazewell is taz'well

Loudon is loud'un

Etowah is eh'ta'wah

I can't believe anyone would have problems with some of the others.

Just saw Beth Haynes on "Live At Five" talking about filming a frog that had taken residence in a birdhouse, and how long it took fo finally film the rascal climbing out of the house. Beth called it a "money shot"!!! LOL
