In 5 more hours, TN Governor Phil Bredesen's Online Toilet Auction ends! The bid has gone up to $80 (cOwbOy). WKRN News Channel 2 did a great story last night promoting the first lady's $10,000,000 effort to clean up the Governor's mansion. Anyone need a toilet from the Governor's master bathroom? Bueller?

UPDATE 9:39am - 4 hours to go and yobm bid it up to $90. Do I have $100?

UPDATE 10:34am - 3 hours - Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

UPDATE 10:42am - 2 hours and 57 minutes to go, and I found the Tom Cruise appearance on Oprah in the TIVO.

UPDATE 10:44am - 2 hours and 55 minutes to go - false alarm. The TIVO snuck in a commercial for the Cruise interview. If I didn't know better, I would guess the TIVO was trying to promote his new movie all by itself. Speaking of toilets...

UPDATE 11:01am - 2 hours and 38 minutes to go - If Christopher Lowell can turn a shitty situation into a reason to live, imagine the things you can do with the Governor's throne. It's a steal for $100. Bueller?

UPDATE 11:22am - OMG! 2 hours and 18 minutes to go, and bcastro541 has bid $95! Something sounds soooo familiar about that name. I can't put my finger on it, and I'm not sure I want to. Can I get a Benjamin? Bueller? Anyone?
