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.

1/3rd of Democrats Racist? Seems They Agree With Geraldine Ferraro
Ok, kids, here's a question: if we agree that Geraldine Ferraro was expressing racism in her comments regarding Barack Obama, what does it say about those who agree with her? Hmm? Well, logically, it would say that they too have views that are racist.
Thus, if a survey shows that 34 percent of Democrats agree with Geraldine Ferraro , then it means that according to this survey we have a party with problems.
It means that about 1/3rd of the Democratic Party is racist and in my view, the party could lose part of that one-third to the Republicans and John McCain, unless something is done. Barack Obama has a wide lead in delegates and Clinton will not catch him. Dean needs to end this contest, now.
It also means that Dean and Pelosi should worry about causing the Democrats African American base to erode for the first time in history.
(As far as Florida and Michigan, just split the delegates 50 - 50 and move on.)
I think both Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi need to step in and correct this problem now. They need to make statements against these findings, because Ferraro and by extension Hillary Clinton is still doing damage to the Democratic Party, and Pelosi and Dean need to stop it.
Here's the results of the survey by MediaCurves.com (N=431 means that 431 people were surveyed.)

Ashley Alexandra Dupre - Emperors Club Vip Star Gains $4.2 Million From Spitzer Scandal
Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the main Emperors Club Vip Star prostitute who most recently saw the now Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, is a great singer, as I've noted , with a great song that one can download from her Anme song page.
In a perfect example of how to profit from having an "online presence", Dupre has earned about $200,000 from people who have downloaded her song at an incredible rate. On top of that, if you will excuse the pun, Ashley Alexandra Dupre is set to gain about $4 million in offers to pose for magazines like Playboy and Hustler.
I don't know if she's taken them yet.
Meanwhile, the Huffington Post was outted by Valleywag for using an interesting SEO trick I've replicated below...

If John Edwards Endorses Clinton He's A Hypocrite
I understand via email that John Edwards is going to annouce that he's endorsing Hillary Clinton for President rather than Barack Obama. If this is true, then John Edwards is a massive hypocrite who very likely did fool around on his wife with Rielle Hunter.
Such a move would call Edwards' character into question, and rightly so.
John Edwards ran a campaign very similar to that of Senator Barack Obama: both populist and both grass-roots. But Edwards, as I wrote before, does not come off as presidential. He allows himself to get into battles with Anne Coulter and rather than walk in a strike with kitchen restaurant workers or hotel workers, Edwards seeks the Hollywood spotlight by walking with the striking movie and television writers -- all to get his face before a TV camera.
Edwards -- to me and to Mother Jones -- never seemed to be a real populist, so it's no surprise to me that he's going to back another fake-populist, Hillary Clinton.
Edwards invested vast amounts of time bashing Clinton on her ties to lobbyists as was the case at the YearlyKos Convention, only to turn around -- or is it turn-coat -- and stand with Clinton and the lobbyists, leaving Barack Obama the lone candidate who does not have lobbyist backing.
Edwards also accused Clinton of being part of the old Washington -- which means that if he backs her, he too is part of the old Washington and no better than she. It also means that Edwards supports a campaign strategy that's seen by many as just plain racist.
It also plays into the racist campaign that Clinton's running -- have the white guy who was one of the last three candidates come out for her, rather than the more logical choice, Barack Obama.
Standing with Clinton would diminish Edwards value and render him nothing more than a cruel joke played on American politics. He can forget about running again, because no one will listen to him anymore. Edwards will be remembered as just another old-style politician who so wanted the spotlight he'd do anything to get it, from painting himself as a populist to standing with African Americans, only to abandon them to endorse a candidate who plays the "race-issue" in a failed effort to win a campaign.
Edwards would also be seen as abandoning his own supporters, who by a vast majority, as we saw in Iowa today, back Obama
His only choice is to back Obama, or stay out of the picture.

Atlanta Tornado Kills 1; $150 Million In Damage; My Mom Got Out Of Town!
The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that one person died and there was $150 million in damage after a tornado whipped through Atlanta and damaged several buildings including the Georgia Dome and the CNN Headquarters.
My Mom lives in suburban Southern Atlanta and got out just fine. She boarded a plane to Chicago for the weekend.
Here's a video of how the tornado effected the play of an NCAA basketball game at the Georgia Dome:

"Obama Pastor" Whites Attend Trinity; Say Obama Not Muslim
This is a great video issued by the Obama campaign and featuring Jane Fisler Hoffman, who's a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ congregation. She says that she drives almot an hour to Trinity in Chicago.
Jane also explains that Senator Obama is a Christian and a member of her church. Jane goes a long way toward helping to drown out the stupid "Talor Marsh" and Old Media voices that are trying to divide America and damage the Obama campaign. The smear tactics are terrible and the Mainstream News Media should be fined by the FCC for what they're doing.
