On this day....

In 1933, the Tennessee Valley Authority was created. Flooding stopped and high salaries began.

In 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted. Millions of people on the east coast finally learned that there is another "Washington".

And last night, Country Music star Kenney Chesney won entertainer of the year at the Country Music Awards.

Question #1: How does a Jimmy Buffett clone win country music's highest award? His winning song talked about having sand between your toes and then having to go back home to Cleveland. I never heard Hank Williams talk about sand, and I don't thing George Jones has ever been to Cleveland. At least not that he can remember.

Question #2: Where did they get the dolt that introduced Kenney, then can't even pronounce where he's from? I had to rewind my TIVO to understand what he said. He pronounced the place as "Luh-TREL" with the emphasis on the second syllable, not " LUH-truhl" like anybody who's ever been there knows it is. It's spelled Luttrel, even though most people from their can't spell. Maybe Luttrel is working on a new upscale image.

Please note with pride that UT Football Star James Banks was caught with a Whizzinator months before former UT star Onterrio Smith was caught with a whizzinator. UT Football is so good the pros even mimic us.
