THE FINAL FOUR AND PRAISE FOR ALL GALORE

As a UConn booster having just come back from the final four, needless to say I am one happy guy. The run our team had this season may not be matched again for a generation. But I have to say, while in the hotel I was charmed by some lovely classy folks from VCU (Virginia Commonwealth) who were constantly being talked about on ESPN as not belonging in the tournament. Clearly ESPY was wrong and VCU was GREAT in the tournament, making it to the final four. While I am not a VCU alumni, I am now an official supporter and I advise ESPN’s Dick Vitale to come speak at the VCU dinner and rehash what they did wrong, and more importantly what they did right.

The Faux News Network Principles


A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
