All you need to know about this story is that Alex Rodriguez is still a dick who disrepects all the rules of baseball.
He’s done this kind of crap before. Here’s one this still pisses me off.

Ephphatha Poetry: “Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black” – Tim Wise
You still think the Tea Bagger crap isn’t racist? Read this.
You KNOW the army would be sent out to confront and probably kill an angry, anti-government mob of minorities armed to the teeth calling for the president’s death.
Just saying.
Dogs Likely Descended From Middle Eastern Wolf : NPR
Here’s an old-ish story I meant to link and forgot. It’s about the genetic makeup of dogs and where they originally came from.
Interesting stuff. We all like to know how we got here, even our puppies.
FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps | Bill Moyers Journal
This should be required viewing. Commissioner Copps on Net Neutrality and on the future needs of telecommunications in this nation.
We’ve got a lot of work to do.
Bill Moyer’s is wrapping up his show next week and while I usually only catch it online after the fact, it’s going to suck to have such a coherent and intelligent voice gone from our airwaves.
The Craziest Things “Celebrities” Have Ever Said About Obama (PHOTOS)

Coin-operated slots bring back sound of old Vegas – Las Vegas Sun

Geek Power: Steven Levy Revisits Tech Titans, Hackers, Idealists
Got the new Wired at lunch today and have read most of this article that looks back on the Age of Hackers and how they and the new geeks that have followed have changed the world.
Robert Reich (Why More Immigrants Are An Answer to the Coming Boomer Entitlement Mess)
Robert Reich makes a no-nonsense and obvious point about entitlement funding, if you just spend a few minutes looking over the data. Immigrants have nurtured and strengthened our nation in the past and they’ll continue to do so, no matter what the color of their skin or language they came hear speaking.
What’s weird is how acceptable the argument is. I just got done reading Geraldo Rivera’s The Great Progression and he made basically the same argument in one of his chapters. Why was I reading that book? Well, I’ve promised myself to try to read some socio-political books of folks I don’t really agree with. Reading any O’Reilly or – gasp! – Coulter or Malkin seemed to be useless. I at least share some skin color with Rivera so it seemed a good start. And, frankly, when he’s not spouting anti-union, anti-progressive rhetoric he’s been brainwashed with, he’s the kind of Republican you can at least agree to disagree with, and even agree on some common sense ideas. Like the immigration issue.
