Senator Jesse Jackson, Jr?

The Chicago Defender, one of the nation's oldest African American publications, posits that should Obama win the White House, IL Governor Blagojevich should appoint Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. as the successor to his Senate seat. Congressman Jackson has a sterling Congressional record and would, among other things, maintain an African American seat in the Senate. He has also worked tirelessly to get Senator Obama elected. For his part, Congressman Jackson says that it's too early to discuss such matters and continues to focus on the race to the White House. If this all goes down as we'd like, however, let's hope that Gov. Blagojevich listens to the Chicago Defender and Congressman Jackson gets a new office in the Senate building.

Joe the plumber endorses Obama!

Unbelievable? Well, I mean, he isn't really a plumber, if you talk license regulations 'n' stuff, and he doesn't actually even work for a plumber (if you judge by licenses, regulations 'n' stuff) but he's a handy guy to know if your toilet's leaking, right? After some research into taxes, health care, & things that matter to small businessmen? Joe the handyman who isn't really a plumber's voting for OBAMA.

Mike Singletary Is Already My Favorite Coach

Gotta love Samurai Mike. This is the press conference after his first game today, a loss at home to the dreadful Seattle Seahawks. Dude even benched Vernon Davis and sent him to the locker room during the game. This is one of hopefully many rants to come from the Hall of Fame linebacker and new head coach of the 49ers.
