Hadn't thought of it that way.

Gee maybe there is some paper trail showing Kobe Bryant as a top donor or special guest for the Democrats or one of their candidates in the past.

'Democratic-backing sports star on trial for rape!' sounds better than 'what did the president know and when did he know it?' Woodward/Bernstein wannabe nonsense.

Well, if you had been listening to the media here in the states for the last week, you would be grateful for any other coverage, even car chases. It's gotten so bad that I won't even watch much of Fox.

The Washington media will be PO'd, but their stories aren't going to get coverage for a while. Right now I turned on Fox and they have all their legal analysts lined up and commenting.

I am grateful for small favors, and although I am sorry this sad incident happened, whether either party is at fault, I am looking forward to the end of the uranium brouhaha.
