Something to agree with Sharpton on?

I never thought the day would come when I agreed with Al Sharpton.  As many of you may have heard NBA player Gilbert Arenas was being investigated for have a firearm(s) in the locker room. He is upset with the media and Al Sharpton for critizing him about the incident. See the following excerpt from Yahoo Sports

“It’s been easy for me,” he said. “If I believed all the stories, of course it would be hard. That’s why we’re so upbeat, because we know what’s out there is way far from the truth.”

Arenas was upset the Rev. Al Sharpton told the New York Daily News, “The NBA needs to stand up and send a strong message by dealing with this situation.”

“For a leader, especially a black leader, to make a comment like that, I don’t think it was fair,” Arenas said. Arenas also wants an apology from the media he claims is “slandering me.”

I could not agree with Al Sharpton more.

PS:  Arenas was suspended after doing some pre-game antics which involved using his fingers like a gun.

    If the calculations were not incorrect to begin with then we would still be the same sign wouldn’t we?? But people born since things have shifted would now be under the new dates???

  • I understand (from Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC) that it’s all a horrible mistake and I’m still an Aries. Well, it was interesting being a Pisces for a day, anyway.

  • Thanks George we need a few trivial things to think about. Most of the people I love are Sagittarians but I did not really want to be one. I am an old goat and always have been:-)

  • Well, if one has to be an ‘old goat’, its good that she’s smart, good looking and has a great sense of humor. Billy G.
