Foxnews.com reports that 1 in 99 Americans is incarcerated. We are the world leader in terms of % of our population in jail or prison! Hip hip hooray! That is something to be proud of, right?
Can you hear my sarcasm?
Andruw Jones reported to camp with Dodgers at a whopping 240 lbs. He told Joe Torre that he would lose the weight as the season progressed.... apparently he was too lean last year during his year-long slump...hmmmmm.
Listening to Herman Cain fill in for Boortz this morning, and if you have never heard him you should listen to his show on AM 750 weeknights from 7-9pm. He threw out this stat earlier today: 1/3 of US citizens end up owing zero taxes, and of the other 2/3, half of this group pays 97% of the annual tax revenue to the federal government. So let me help you. The top 33% of earners pay 97% of the tax revenues. Do you still think that the 'evil rich' don't pay enough. And I have news for you... the top 33% likely includes many people just like you, maybe even you. Gotta love it.
John Lewis (D-ATL) announced Wednesday that he would be using his superdelegate vote to back Barack Obama. This is only news because he had been supporting Hillary openly until now. 80% of his district voted for Obama in the primary. While it is in some ways good to see a congressman representing his district's wishes, it also scares me a bit to think that he can't think for himself and vote how he believes to be correct. Its a difficult issue: do you want a congressman who will stand for his beliefs, or do you want one that cater to the whims of his constituency? Bottom line on this one is that Lewis and others don't want to back a loser, and unless something miraculous happens this coming Tuesday, Hillary is going to be done... one socialist down, one more to go.
Semi Pro opens today nationwide. Will Ferrell as Jackie Moon looks pretty funny so far in the trailers and Old Spice/Bud Light commercials. Can't wait to see this one.
