Kanye & Patrick - Nightly Recap

i don't agree with lumping serena's outburst with kanye's and joe's. to be clear, i don't CONDONE her behavior, but it's not unreasonable or unusual for athletes to shout and scream and curse about a call. relevant example: McEnroe, John. there are also plenty of baseball examples of folks getting thrown out of games, etc.

again, i'm not saying this behavior is correct, (certainly not the threats) but it is not out of the ordinary. shouting out during a joint address to congress is not on the continuum of reasonable behavior, nor is snatching the mic from someone accepting an award. hilarious mashup of kanye interrupting POTUS here.

RIP patrick swayze who died today from pancreatic cancer.

a report was released today that doctors prefer the public option.

obama gave a great policy speech on the financial markets today. he said he didn't run for president to bail out banks. and that regulation is necessary to ensure all the players play fair in the future. curbing reckless behavior will ensure the markets work the way they should without endangering the whole economy due to greed. (speech is about 30 min).

cory booker is on the colbert report tonight and both stephen and jon stewart return tonight from vacay (yes!).

DON'T MISS an open letter to an anonymous woman: The African Lion and the Lyin' African.
