TPS EDITOR ALMOST LAUGHS, THEN SEES CUP PICTURES

I expected that pretty much every blogger out there would attempt some kind of lame April Fool’s Day trick, so I decided that I wouldn’t do anything. I don’t know if that makes me cool, or unique, or neither, but I’m not doing anything. Sorry.

Of course, I could always be telling you I’m not doing anything to bait you into thinking I’m not doing anything, only to bust out the greatest April Fool’s prank ever. But I’m not doing that. Or am I?

Anyway, the first person to attempt an April Fool’s Day ploy was Ross Shealy — son of the infamous Rod Shealy — who revived his seasonal “Barbeque and Politics” blog to write about Gov. Mark Sanford starting a new non-profit advocacy group called DumpSC - “a movement about a movement.” Good one Ross, you almost got me!

Seriously though, I like Ross because he had the stones to call me when I messed up a story about him, and I really respect that, so I won’t rip on the cheesiness of his post. Plus, the Photoshopped picture of Sanford announcing that “he and his allies have created yet another non-profit organization” in a public restroom is solid. Pardon the pun.

In a completely unrelated story, I went absolutely crazy at the Carolina Cup over the weekend.

I got to see some of the pictures today courtesy of my friends, and I must admit, I am pretty awesome. In at least two of them I’m not even wearing my seatbelt, which means I’m not only awesome, but brave. If you disagree, then you’re wrong.
