The battered reputation of Josh Howard took another hit this week when an online video surfaced showing the Dallas Mavericks forward disrespecting the national anthem. In a video posted on YouTube, Howard is shown on a football field at a charity flag football game. As the national anthem plays in the background, Howard approaches a camera and says: “‘The Star Spangled Banner’ is going on right now. I don’t even celebrate that (expletive). I’m black.”

25 States:Caffeine-alcohol energy drink 'recipe for disaster'

"drink is a 'recipe for disaster' because adding caffeine to alcoholic beverages reduces drinkers' sense of intoxication....Last week the Center for Science in the Public Interest said it sued MillerCoors to stop the brewer from selling Sparks, saying it's going after teenagers with the drink...said it is illegal to use caffeine, guarana, ginseng and taurine in alcoholic beverages. CSPI said the Food and Drug Administration has given 'only very narrow approval' for caffeine and guarana _ with no allowance for alcoholic drinks _ and no approval for ginseng in any food or beverage"

Ban on saggy pants is ruled unconstitutional by Florida judge

S-baggy-pants-large
In March, a town in Florida banned saggy pants where the wearers underwear was exposed. Somebody sued for some reason, and won. Today, the court ruled that that law is unconstitutional. "A 17-year-old spent a night in jail last week after police arrested him for wearing low pants in Riviera Beach, southeast Florida... The law banning so-called "saggy pants" was approved by city voters in March after supporters of the bill collected nearly 5,000 signatures to put the measure on the ballot."

Former HP CEO: McCain, Palin, Obama, Biden couldn't do what I do

Bonus: she works for the McCain campaign (well, not anymore). Is she a truth-teller (hero) or an egomaniac asshat (jerk).
