The Empire Strikes Barack

This Star Wars video is the best summary of the past month in the Democratic Presidential Primary race. Please send it on to everyone.




Here is the best perspective that I have seen about the recent media's obsession of Rev. Wright from a journalist on TV. Paraphrasing:

There is no guilt by association. Wright has one set of views, Obama has another set of views. If the views match up, then it's fair game. But Obama's been in politics since the mid-90s.

He has a record in the State Senate in Illinois. He has a record in the US Senate. He's laid out an agenda as a presidential candidate. Where do his views match up with Jeremiah Wright's? And why as journalists are we confusing the two?

It seems to me totally unfair that this guy is getting smeared with the views of someone just because he's his former pastor.

Here is a great take about the double standard placed upon crazy black church leaders compared to nut job white ones.

Coward

I usually would not focus a whole post on 3-11 NFL team but I have not never seen such scorn from players after a coach's departure in my life.

Atlanta Falcons head football coach Bobby Petrino quit with 3 games remaining in the season and went back to college by accepting the head coach position at the University of Arkansas.

He did not even tell the Falcons team in person but left the above note in their locker room. Safety Lawyer Milloy made sure to correct his name.

"Everything he preached over the past eight months was a lie," Milloy said. "Everything he said he stood for was a lie. He came in and messed with a lot of people's lives — he wasted a year of my life. It was a cowardly act. A selfish act."

"There's a line of communication that needs to be there and it wasn't," said quarterback Joey Harrington, who was publicly humiliated on a handful of occasions. "I went to him with concerns of the team and I was absolutely disregarded."

When Joey Harrington is publicly talking smack about a coach, things must be really bad. John Joseph Harringon should be used to this by now since this is the 4th coach that has either bolted or been fired in his 6 seasons.

Jim Mora Sr had it wrong last year. Harrington is the coach killer and Mike Vick is the canine one. Sorry I had to as the one liner was WAY too easy.

This article details the players their venom laced emotions.

My man at the Legend of Cecilio Guante has entered a new verb into the sports lexicon: petrino.

Meanwhile, Petrino was all smiles and screaming WOOO PIG SOOIE!
