Wow, Jim Bailey is hitting Brown hard. Kind of making Brown endearing all over again.

I'm hoping this isn't Bailey's account and that's not Jim Bailey tweeting...He's coming across pretty ridiculous.

Okay, I just read that it is a "parody account."

Now, it's hilarious!

You're probably right. I wonder if it's the same person that does the bridges. They're all pretty funny too:

And not til looking at these twitter accounts did I realize the real name of the Dames Point Bridge is actually the Napolean Bonaparte Broward Bridge. I knew about the Main Street being named Alsop something or other. Wonder why cities name stuff after people when it's only logical that location would play a big part. Of course then I guess the Buckman would be the St Johns River Bridge or Mandarin Orange Park Bridge. Actually, now that I think about it, I am surprised that bridges aren't funded by companies in return for advertising. But then think of all the crashes on the Microsoft Bridge ;)
