You're So Tennessee If...

You are convicted of two counts of second-degree murder, serve five years before being paroled, and the State hands you back the medical license you surrendered upon conviction.

You then use this license to serve as a prescription-writing service for large quantities of pain-killers.

And don't get caught for years.

OldSouth began his ruminations last spring, when signs advertising 'wrestling midgets' began to sprout up in the little town where he visits the bank and post office. He had assumed, naively, he wouldn't see anything quite this ludicrous in his lifetime, so it seemed like a good jumping-off point.

Since then, we've had ObamaCare, Miss Nancy, and the Underpants Bomber.  Gordon Brown claiming to save the world, Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize, Climategate,  the takeover of GM and Chrysler, AIG, Zimbabwe Ben, TurboTax Timmy, Goldman rising from the ashes, the takeover of Fannie and Freddie, Tiger Woods, Hugo Chavez, Tea Parties, AstroTurf, Sarah Palin on a book tour, ACORN.

And Joe Biden.

Did OS leave anyone out? Undoubtedly, yes.

But this one is truly, breathtakingly extraordinary...
