About me
I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.
I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

April Fool's!
Posted by: Brendan Loy | Apr 1, 2008 10:12:05 AM
NOTE: I had to re-create this post so that it would appear to be "Posted by CNN" instead of "Posted by Brendan Loy." (I messed that up in the original version.)
The earlier incarnation, with several comments (indicating that at least a couple of people were fooled), is here.
Also, a couple of April Fools flashbacks: 2004 and 2007. :)

I seriously just read this and went to cnn.com, drudge, and huffpo....damn you!!!
Posted by: Marty West | Apr 1, 2008 10:51:22 AM
Wow, Brendan, you got me!
Posted by: Patrick | Apr 1, 2008 10:57:12 AM
I wasn't fooled, but seeing that in print still has an effect on a person...great prank!
Posted by: kcatnd | Apr 1, 2008 11:56:33 AM
btw, You are welcome to help make your post more realistic.
Posted by: Gardner | Apr 1, 2008 12:13:59 PM
Heh, yeah, thanks, Gardner. I'm all annoyed at myself for not getting that right in the first place. But I definitely appreciate the quick tip.

No Hillary is comparing herself to "Rocky." Guess she never watched the movie...Rocky LOST!
Posted by: Angrier and Angrier | Apr 1, 2008 1:12:07 PM
Haha awesome, for a moment there I was really excited, you got me good Brendan!
Posted by: David K. | Apr 1, 2008 1:34:48 PM
did I mention you are a bastard possessed of manage... Every time I scroll past this post I go... sigh.... If only... would be amusing if it turned out to be true and she dropped out at 5 this evening or something...

The problem with your April Fool's pranks, Brendan, is that they--or, you for that matter, have become waaaaaaaaaaaaay toooooooo predictable. At any rate, in ten minutes they are expecting to air Obama's concession speech.
Posted by: uscroger | Apr 1, 2008 6:06:04 PM
uscroger - the Clinton campaign has been trying to air the Obama concession speech for months, already !
Posted by: Alasdair | Apr 1, 2008 7:12:59 PM
When I first read that, I didn't get my hopes up, because I KNEW it had to be an April Fool's thing.
:-P
Posted by: Benjamin Sloniker | Apr 1, 2008 7:34:17 PM
It is interesting to see those who were fooled by it, and those who weren't ... (grin) ...
