Joe Bayhdin

The AP breaks the Biden story at 11:52pm, probably a good 12 hours before those text messages were supposed to go out and I'm left to wonder if Evan Bayh's kids even recognize him anymore.

Watching MSNBC as they stalked Biden's house for him to come out of it to NOT make a statement. There must have been 500 Delawarians standing in front of his house in tapered jeans or shuffleboard shorts and Nascar shirts.. This is apparantly the constituency that Biden can bring to the ticket??


what the hell is wrong with people?

BEIJING - A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after Angel Matos kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.
Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan’s Arman Chilmanov. He was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.

Send this dipsh*t back to Cuba in a raft from some port in Beijing.



BEIJING, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian threw down his greco-roman bronze medal in protest on Thursday after his bid for Olympic gold was ended by a decision denounced by the Swedish coach as “politics.”
Abrahamian took the bronze from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the wrestling mat then walked off.
“I don’t care about this medal. I wanted gold,” he said.
A bitter Abrahamian, silver medalist at Athens 2004 who had high hopes of top honors in the 84kg competition in Beijing, announced he was quitting the sport.
“This will be my last match. I wanted to take gold, so I consider this Olympics a failure,” he said.
The Swedish wrestler had to be restrained by teammates earlier when a row erupted with judges over the decision in a semifinal bout at the Chinese Agricultural University Gym with Andrea Minguzzi of Italy, who went on the take gold.
Abrahamian shouted at the referee and judges then went over to their seats to speak to them up close. He angrily threw off the restraining arm of a team official then turned and left.


What do you expect out of sport where the referee's back is always turned when Bobby the Brain comes in with a metal chair.
