Donald Sterling – Banned for Life

From ESPN:

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he will try to force the controversial owner to sell his franchise. Sterling also was fined $2.5 million, and Silver made no effort to hide his outrage over the comments.

“I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him,” Silver said.

The rebuke, which came three days after the scandal broke, is the harshest penalty ever issued by the league and one of the stiffest punishments ever given to an owner in professional sports.

I think that this was the right thing to do. It didn’t happen as fast as I would have wanted, but it happened. It is a clear statement that the NBA will not tolerate this kind of behavior. To me this appears to be a victory for a new and better tomorrow.

Donald Fagen – New Frontier

A completely unique sound. I first heard Donald Fagen like most person when he was with Steely Dan. Peg was the first tune that I remember hearing from them. What a cool sound. The harmonies. The groove. The jazzy sax. When Steely Dan split Donald Fagen then produced and wrote one of my favorite albums of all-time (Other albums on that list would Stevie Wonder’s Fulfillingness First Finale, Miles Davis – Kind of Blue, I’m sure there are others but that’s all for now) – Night Fly. This is one of those few albums that call you to but on your Bose headphones and turn it up!

Rosie on da' Donald

Tara Conner was given a second change by da Donald. Personally, I really didn’t care. I think that Rosie is completely right. Donald is a media hound. He loves to be in the spotlight. Donald ain’t a moral authority and it ain’t 1955. A 20 yo adult single female who is drop dead goregous should be doing what in the Donald’s mind? Studying Shakespeare? Studying to be his private secretary?

Here’s a clip of Rosie on The View telling it like it is. I cut off Donald Trump’s air time just because he is an egomaniac who doesn’t need time on my blog. I know, I should be fair and I should. But he gets on my nerves too.
