Bugs Bunny Turns 75!
On this day, in 1938, the "screwy wabbit" made his debut in "Porky's Hare Hunt". Two years later, he appeared in "A Wild Hare," which is his first official cartoon, according to most historians. It was also the first cartoon where his phrase, "What's Up, Doc?" was mentioned. Bugs was voiced by the legendary comedian Mel Blanc up to his death in 1988. Since his first cartoon, Bugs has appeared in over 200 cartoons, the movies "Space Jam" with Michael Jordan and "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" with Brandan Freser, and numerous commercials. Happy birthday, Bugs, and let's hope you have another 75 years in the making.

You Can't Fix Stupid #1
In honor of my 8th grade band teacher, Mr. Frazier, "You Can't Fix Stupid" has come from the show to the show's blog! Mr. Frazier used to say when someone said or did something ridiculous, "You Can't Fix Stupid," and this one is a perfect way to start this version of the blog. If you are a sports fan, you found out that Louisville won the National Championship back on Monday night against Michigan, 82-76. Well, almost everyone got the memo.
Based on a book advertisement from Amazon, the Detroit Free Press declared that the Wolverines had won their first title since 1989 that night, and included it in their book about Michigan's "A-Maize-ing" run this season. On Wednesday afternoon, Detroit Free Press Assistant Managing Editor Stefanie Murray posted an apology in the Discussions section for the book's amazon.com page:
"We're very sorry for this mistake," she said. "The Free Press had prepared a fantastic book to publish should Michigan win the national title, and an error with our book publisher caused the promotion for the book to be displayed on Amazon. Our publisher is working with Amazon to make sure it gets removed. Hopefully at this time next year, however, we WILL be publishing either a book on Michigan or Michigan State winning the 2014 national title!"

All I know is that when Mr. Frazier hears about this, he'll be saying one thing and one thing only: "You Can't Fix Stupid."
