Property assessor candidate claims degree from UT but school says no

Graybeal

Knox County property assessor candidate Andrew Graybeal says he earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Tennessee, but the college has no record that he ever took a class there.

In addition, UT officials say the university does not accept transferred credits from a technical college Graybeal says he attended.

“We searched for Andrew Graybeal . . . and could find nothing,” Amy Blakely, a spokesperson for the University of Tennessee, told 10News Thursday morning. “We’re happy to keep checking but we’ve checked everything we could think of at this point.”

Blakely said two people in her office performed a number of searches for various spellings for Graybeal’s name.

When asked bluntly by a WBIR reporter whether he earned a degree in engineering from UT, he said: “I graduated from ITT University with a degree in engineering and those credits were transferred over to UT.”

He said this occurred in 1993. He said he was at UT for two years but couldn’t recall what classes he took.

Rest of story RIGHT HERE.

Hello, did you miss me? Heh. Figures

Fresh out of rehab, Screams from da Porch is back.

And speaking of treatment, anyone else think if you're dumb enough to, you know, imbibe a little booze through the butt then maybe you might just need a 30-day stay?

Oh well, never judge a butt by its chugger. Heh. Been wanting to print that for awhile. Can't spell butt without a “UT.” Hahahahahaha.

Special thanks to Xander Broughton for that one. Cause, you know, the school needed another black eye. Eh, he'll probably run the country some day.

And . . . speaking of running the country (vote for me please), I read last night that Mitt's buddy, the good Paul Ryan (two first names??) won't explain the dynamic duo's tax plan. “It would take me too long to go through all the math,” he said.

“Trust me, you're all retarded,” is what he meant. Ryan didn't seem to have a problem when he told folks that he ran a sub-three hour marathon. Oh yeah, he messed the math up on that one.

Strange. If someone told me a year ago that out of Obama, the catcher's Mitt, Ryan (or whoever the then-future VP pick would be) and Biden, that smokin' Joe was going to be the most believable out of all of them . . . well, whatever.

And for those who thinking I'm just making fun of the Republicans, well, here: Click right smack here. I'm pretty sure one of the videos pokes the other guy.

In the meantime, I'm still pulling for Captain America.

Anyhoo, so why did I decide to come back? Eh, it doesn't matter. Enjoy the ramblings, there will be more to follow.
