Watching this cheating baseball player on TV proclaiming his “love of the game“, just gave me a real question to present him:

Instead of the 211 game suspension etc.   How about he be given an option of giving up his earnings, forgo endorsements, and keep a salary of only $250k per year, while giving the rest to the MLB for programs set up toward children’s sports related educational endeavors?

Then we’d really find out if he “respected” and “loved the game”, or if it was something else….
NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case – the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago.
Ryan Braun’s 65-game suspension last month and previous punishments bring to 18 the total number of players disciplined for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs. (more…)

About a week ago the Pro-Morsi forces in Egypt were organizing hardline Islamist support for a massive display of strength this weekend.   The Islamists, mostly from the Muslim Brotherhood, wanted all the Pro-Morsi folks to show up and display their support.
Not wanting such an optic to be left unchallenged, the regular people (non hardliners) who support moderation, and are more Westernized and open, organized the counter protest.   The Egyptian army supports the moderate side of the political spectrum, or this group.  Which makes sense because most of the Egyptian military officers are/were trained by the United States.

The results from the protest and counter protest are outlined well in this Daily Mail article.   There were hundreds of thousands more Moderates (military supporters) than Islamists (Morsi supporters). (more…)

Update 7/24/13 – Oh my, they did decide to call him George. Prince George of Cambridge.  His Grandfather (the Queen’s father) was George VI.

The recently produced and aired video by Bill Whittle “The Lynching” which discusses the lies around the Trayvon Martin narrative has quickly jumped to over 500,000 views. Currently, after only 4 days, it is the #5 PJTV production of ALL TIME.

George saw a need, he acted. Our parents taught us to help, never to boast. Humility is George's finest trait. >> http://t.co/hrBvc1798w

(CNN) — Four days after he was acquitted of murder, George Zimmerman stepped out of seclusion to help a family get out of an overturned vehicle in Florida, authorities said Monday.
Zimmerman and another man helped four people get out of an SUV that had overturned Wednesday evening in Sanford — the same community where the former neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 — Seminole County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Heather Smith said.
America talks about the Zimmerman verdict
Authorities were called after the SUV went off the road and rolled over in the area of Interstate 4 and State Road 46. By the time a deputy arrived, Zimmerman and another man already had helped the two adults and two children out of the vehicle, Smith said.

I have thanked Mark Omara and Don West. Now I would like to extend
our heartfelt appreciation to you, our friends at CTH. (Waving to others)

Currently, our family is happy knowing our son no longer faces a malicious,
unethical prosecution. Further, to whatever extent possible, I will attempt to
hold every individual fully responsible for their actions.

Again, Thank You.
