  1. @Larry_Ohio, sorry I couldn't resist (that would make a good blog name)... I think the story is dying down now, although Larry King had Ann Coulter and Al Sharpton on tonight arguing about it. I had to change the channel! Then the next channel was showing in text what the arresting officer actually said...OMG, I won't be repeating it here, but it was bad, very racist.

    After that gets played a few more times, it should be dead (hopefully).
