While listening to The Huckabee Report, May 29, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. on WIVK, I heard that Knoxville, TN has made it to his broadcast. Some guy here in Knoxville, TN has 21 kids. Yes, you read that right. 21 KIDS! He has these 21 kids by 11 different women. Get this! Huckabee adds this young man only makes minimum wage. I think some neutering is order for young me and women that keep popping out kids like that! Don’t you agree? OH yea, this young man got Huckabee’s big “ZERO”.
On a side note, he also talked about the American Flag and how places say it is offensive to display the American Flag! I find nothing wrong with displaying the American Flag. We ought to be proud to be Americans and show it! It was also like this Marine Veteran that has 3 United States Marine Corp emblems on his truck. His home owners association fines $50 per night your car is parked at your own with any kind of decal on it.

Filed Under Knoxville, SmartFIX40
Not much longer and a section of Interstate 40 through Knoxville, TN will be closed. This closure happens May 1, 2008. The section between James White Parkway and Hall of Fame Drive (Exits 388A to 389). Yes, it is a small section, but it is very close to downtown! This will be a headache, because it will be closed for 14 months starting this May. As alternative routes you can use I-640 or I-275 to by pass this closure of I-40. SmartFIX40 as they call it. You can find more information at: http://www.smartfix40.com/. You can even see a rendering of what it will look like when it is completed, which is scheduled for July 2009. (14 Months).
I hope that when they get this all fixed it will be a lot better, but you know how construction goes. Once they complete this section, they will move a few miles down the interstate and do another one. Never ending!
