Damn, Laura(aka the future Mrs. ABG) is really getting into it, referring to TRIPOTUS now.

Hi, ABG! This is all over the radio here in Indy. Apparently Artest was scheduled for a promotional interview concerning his new album on one of the local radio stations, and Today got wind of it and sent a satellite truck there. So his album promotion was probably a continuation of his radio interview.

HOWEVER, I have noticed a disturbing reluctance to say anything negative about this guy or the others involved. The major talk radio station's sports reporter (speaking on air as I was driving to my son's house) said that Artest has a "big heart" and the news reporter said he was almost "child-like" in his honesty.

As big a disgrace as this guy is, the media here is an even bigger one. I don't suppose that the Simon Mall money has something to do with it, do you? (The Simons own the Pacers.) It is discouraging how this guy is being treated like a victim, locally.
