LAPD Has A Great Police Officer

All I can say is thank God there are cops like this man who represents the Los Angeles Police Department, and is just explaining to the protesters how to issue dissent and enjoy it. He aso reminds us that we're in the greatest country on Earth.

Here's the video:

Florida Lawmakers To Sue DNC Over Florida Primary

The Florida Primary is proving to be a thorn in the side of the Democratic National Committee, which now has to deal with a lawsuit from Florida lawmakers over the matter of the DNC's blocking of seating their delegates because the primary was held on the 29th of January, earlier than party rules pemitted.

I still think the best way is to just split them 50-50. As it stands now, there's so much time - consuming back and forth talk that by the point an agreement is reached on a revote, it will be too late to have a DNC-backed revote.

Ronald Kessler and NY Times Big Obama Pastor Lie

Ronald Kessler's the person behind an example of the most irresponsible example of journalism ever seen. In a Newsmax article, Kessler claimed that Senator Barack Obama was "in the pews" for a "hate America" sermon, but in point of fact, at 1:30 PM EST and 12:30 PM CST Senator Obama was in Miami speaking at the National LaRaza event.

For Senator Obama to make the speech, he would have to leave Chicago at 7 AM CST, making it physically impossible for Obama to be there.

Kessler's been hammered with contrary evidence to his story. But what's his response? Get this one he sent to one Obama supporter:

"Obama did speak to this group at 1:30 p,.m. in Miami on July 22, but with a chartered jet, he had plenty of time to attend church in the morning or later in the day in Chicago and give the speech in Miami. "

In other words, Kessler has no proof, just a guess at what he wants to think Obama did. That's not the basis for a story at all. Then it gets worse and here's where Kessler's caught in a lie. He starts to speculate about time, and states that Obama could have made a 7:30 AM service, which means Kessler has no evidence and is just writing a smear article, which is not responsible.

The problem is that The New York Times has reported Kessler's story and so has made yet another error of credibility.

Falcons DeAngelo Hall May Become Oakland Raider

Personally, I think this move's a sign of the fall of the Atlanta Falcons. DeAngelo Hall may have been hot-headed at points, but his talent was unmistakable. I also think DHall was frustrated with the totally inept way the team was being ran under Bobby Petrino.

Now it seems the Falcons are willing to part with a second round pick for Hall. What Atlanta will do without Hall remains to be seen, but I think they may have been swayed by some of Hall's poor performances in 2008. Yes, he's a great cornerback, but it seemed that his head wasn't in the game and he may have been trying to do everything he could to get Petrino out of there without, you know, getting him out of there.

Still a bad and organizationally immature move.

SF 49ers Release Darrell Jackson After Not Employing Him Properly

The San Francisco 49ers went out and got Darrell Jackson as a free agent from the Seattle Seahawks and with much promise. Jackson is a great possession receiver with great run-after-the-catch speed. He's not going to get past you much but he can do damage and the Seahawks knew this.

The 49ers did not.

The 49ers tried to send Jackson deep and running deep patterns and fly patterns is not what Jackson does well.

Now he's gone.

NewsMax Racist Obama Smear Campaign Misses Mark

NewsMax is an off-the-wall, stupid, fly-by-night, third-rate web-based operation that fakes news stories.

This one regarding Barack Obama is one good example. Apparently bent on using race and racism to form a story, they fraudulently report that Senator Obama was at Trinity Church to hear a "hate America" sermon supposedly given by Pastor Jeremiah Wright.

In point of fact, Ronald Kessler wrote a story that's an outright lie and calls into question their ethics as a publication and his as well. Senator Obama was here on that day, at The National Council of La Raza event.

This is the most irresponsible example of journalism I've ever seen. Barack spoke at 1:30 PM at this event, and at that time it was 12:30 CST. A flight from Chicago to Miami is about 3 hours and that does not include to and from travel time, so we're looking at 5 hours, making it impossible for Ronald's story to occur as Obama would have to leave at 7 AM CST.

Plus, the Trinity Church website reports that:

Anthony Burnette, Jr. gave the 7:30 am service
Otis B. Moss III gave the 11:00am service
Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. gave the 6:00pm service

So Pastor Wright didn't even speak that morning.

Obama was the featured speaker on July 22nd 2007 and not "in the pews" as Kessler put it, and this schedule and video shows it:

With 70 Percent In Penn and 60 Percent In Rest, Clinton Sill Loses To Obama

That's right. I just used Slates Delegate Counter to see what would happen to the delegate count assuming no revote in Florida and Michigan and Hillary Clinton winning Pennsylvania by 70 percent and all other states by 60 percent. This is what I found:

Barack Obama: 1,610
Hillary Clinton: 1,599

Barack Obama would still have more pledged delegates. Thus, it's impossible for Senator Clinton to catch Senator Obama, and improbable that she would have the kind of performance you're seeing here.

She's in trouble with zero margin for error.
