The NBA millionaires want the billionaires to pay their fair share – to them. That would be 52.5% of revenues, which is actually less than the 57% they get now. The owners are holding out for a 50-50 split. Meanwhile the ushers, beer, and nacho sellers are stuck with 100% of nothing.

I got this idea from a Rich Lowry column.
Osama bin Laden famously talked of the weak horse and the strong horse. Obama is the show horse.
For the record, the Show Horse picked Kansas to beat Ohio State in the March Madness final in April.

Guys propose marriage on the Jumbotron all the time at sporting events so why shouldn’t LeBron let down the home town fans on national tv – for a second time, if we’re counting playoff performances? The thing is, LeBron loves the spotlight so much it’s possible he was using his ESPN infomercial to make a confession.
By dumping on his Cleveland teammates again, this time to run off with Dwade and Heronimous Bosh, could he be guilty of collusion?
According to the same ESPN (this time wearing its reporters hat), NBA commisioner David Stern has said, ”he’s been assured at the “highest level” that there will be no sitdown among LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the other superstars”. Well, that’s good to know. Otherwise it might seem suspicious that the threesome signed with the same team for less – 30 million less in James case – than they could have earned elsewhere.

Here’s Obama’s speech at the CIA. He wanted to boost morale after he released the “torture” memos. He said, “This is a time for reflection, not retribution”. Then he he reversed course to allow for possible prosecution of high officials. In his speech he said harsh interrogations did “not make us safer”. Memos that showed water boarding saved lives were not released. Another slam dunk in the war against Man Caused Disasters.
