These two themes have lingered much too long in the news; Scott Thomas Beauchamp's story is spread out over dozens of sites, but Jeff Goldstein's takes are excellent, learning, reads. Take the time and absorb them.
Vick? His dog-fighting scandal is quickly becoming a racial thing now, with ever-widening points of view based on his (lack of) a trial and his presumed innocence. We'll see, but I've a friend in Atlanta who works with Vick, and he tells me this stuff is probably, unfortunately, true. But he also tells me that if Vick is gone, it won't hurt his feelings...
I found Beauchamp's picture from...hell, I can't remember, but it's him. Follow up from Hot Air's coverage, I think. The tie-in with Vick? Beauchamp wrote in his blog that, in Iraq, he participated in running dogs over with Bradley Fighting Vehicles...probably a lie semiotic construct...
Oh, and Beau's Corner Bar? Actually, a photo I snagged, in Chattanooga, of Dude's Corner Bar, with which I took many liberties!
Jeff Goldstein's added a 'Protein Wisdom Pub', a spinoff for some of his most frequent commenters to post their own bits of wisdom. It's just getting started. Check it out; there's some better posts there than you see coming from some of our esteemed local, WKRN, established bloggers (Ya listening, Kleinheider? Ya RINO...)
