Since Barack Obama weighed in on the arrest of Henry Louis Gates , we thought it was worthwhile to do a close reading of the law and the arrest report to see just how stupid the Cambridge Police Department was.

The Call At around 12:45 p.m., Lucia Whalen called 911 to report two African American men wearing backpacks attempting to break into a house on Ware St.

The Birthers: Who Are They and What Do They Want?

Liz Cheney and Lou Dobbs have recently defended the “birthers,” the dumb group of internet psychos who think it’s impossible that a black man could’ve been democratically elected president. Where did they come from and what do they actually believe? Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

Noted Xenophobe Lou Dobbs Enlists as a ‘Birther’

Oh for the love of God when will the Republican’s extra-chromosome wing let this go?! Sadly, not anytime soon, what with Lou Dobbs beating back Alan Keyes and Sean Hannity to take over as captain of the USS Dipshit. Yes, despite overwhelming evidence proving that Barack Obama has a birth certificate that clearly shows he was born in the U.S., the “birther” movement marches on, and now CNN’s Lou Dobbs has all but taken over as its most “credible” mouthpiece.

Fixing The President’s Throwing Motion

As you know, our commander-in-chief took the mound last night and did an excellent impression of a man trying to throw a party balloon. I asked some experts to evaluate Obama’s mechanics and explain just what needed to be fixed. Here’s what it looked like (give or take an acid trip): Says Baseball Prospectus’ Will Carroll : It’s not good but he said he never played ball as a kid.

How Did The President, Famous People, New Media React To Cronkite’s Death?

Roundups of Cronkite-death reactions are bound to include the President’s personal memories, and Dan Abrams trashing personal memories. Also, Shaq’s sword, Clooney’s sad, Jeff Jarvis is so over this, Sarah Palin’s rainbows, and Kelly Bundy has something to say. Because Important People Deaths carry more weight than ol’ lowercase regular people deaths, they can either elicit well-considered, clear-minded objectivity, or they can inspire transparent glibness, insipid tributes, and reactionary nonsense
