In a dramatic moment on the House floor this morning, Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) was asked to leave the chamber after taking off his suit jacket and revealing that he was wearing a hoodie during a speech in tribute to Trayvon Martin.
Rush, who donned the hood and put on sunglasses in support of Martin, the Florida teenager who was gunned down last month in a racially-tinged incident, was escorted out of the House chamber after repeated requests by the presiding officer to leave. Wearing a hood or hat while the House is in session is against House rules.
“Racial profiling has to stop Mr. Speaker,” Rush said while taking off his suit jacket, “Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.”
Here’s the deal. I could almost go along with escorting Rep. Rush off the House floor because it’s a stunt cheapening this august body, but come on. The House Floor has seen some stunts in its day. Remember when the day after swearing in almost all of the incoming congresscritters, the Republicans decided to take the day to read the Constitution, only they read just the parts they liked? Or when Louie Gohmert (always good for a cheap stunt or two) unveiled the “Obama Apology” chart on the House floor? Or when Eric Cantor brought forth legislation reiterating that our national motto is in fact … wait for it …our national motto? Good times.
So it’s perfectly fine for a congressman to decry abortion on the House floor, saying African Americans were better off during slavery. It’s perfectly legitimate for a congresswoman to question the patriotism of another congressman and Marine vet. It’s even acceptable to honor a muckraking liar who smeared Democratic institutions and employees.
But to point out viscerally that racial profiling is a life and death problem ?
That’s apparently a bridge too far………
So when the right continues to label Trayvon as something of a troublemaker or devil like……..be sure to remind them of that 20 yr old, 26 yr old and 30 yr old, who eventually became a president. Although, not elected by the people, and selected by a criminal Supreme Court, that they have no room to be talking sh$$ like that about anyone, unless they’re willing to take some heat for who they voted to be a U.S President, w/an arrest record. I sure as he$$ didn’t vote for him for that main reason. He showed a total lack and disregard for the basic principles of the law !
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck central Chile Sunday night, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since a huge quake devastated the area two years ago. There were no immediate reports of deaths or major damage.
The quake struck at 7:30 p.m. about 16 miles (27 kilometers) north-northwest of Talca, a city of more than 200,000 people where residents said the shaking lasted about a minute.
Buildings swayed in Chile’s capital 136 miles (219 kilometers) to the north, and people living along a 480-mile (770-kilometer) stretch of Chile’s central coast were briefly warned to head for higher ground.
Residents were particularly alarmed in Constitucion, where much of the coastal downtown at the mouth of a river was obliterated by the tsunami caused by the 8.8-magnitude quake in 2010.
Panic also struck in Santiago and other cities, with people running out of skyscrapers, and many neighborhoods were left partly or totally without electrical power. Phone service was disrupted by heavy use.
“There are some injuries but nothing serious,” said Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter, who was serving as acting president while Sebastian Pinera is on tour in Asia.

One game is a grudge match between teams that know each other all too well. The other is a rare rematch between virtual strangers.
The Final Four is set. In one game Saturday, Kentucky will play Louisville in an intrastate rivalry that puts Cardinals coach Rick Pitino against the school he once coached, then later alienated by returning to the Bluegrass to lead its archrival.
In the other semifinal, it will be Ohio State and Kansas, meeting for only the ninth time in their history but for the second time this season. The Jayhawks won the first game 78-67 in Lawrence, Kan., back on Dec. 10. Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger sat out of that game with back spasms. It was the first time the teams had met since 1999-2000.
The winners will play for the national title April 2. Kentucky already has seven national titles but none since 1998, the year after Pitino left. Kansas has three championships, Louisville has two and Ohio State, better known as a football power, won its lone title in 1960 and is making its third trip to the Final Four since 1999.
Absent from this year’s ultimate hoops weekend, taking place at the Superdome in New Orleans, are the longshots and little guys who have made March Madness so special over the years. Although there are no Butlers, VCUs or George Masons, there are plenty of good stories to tell. That list starts with Pitino vs. his old school.
It was Pitino who restored Kentucky to its former greatness when he arrived there in 1989 and the Wildcat program was coming off the sting of NCAA violations. Pitino took the program to three Final Fours and won one championship, but left in 1997 to take a second shot at the NBA, where he had previously coached the New York Knicks.

Tiger Woods finally brought the buzz back to the very thing that made him famous — winning.
Two weeks after another injury scare, and two days before his former coach’s book goes on sale, Woods looked dominant as ever in that red shirt on Sunday to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
It was his first PGA Tour victory since a sex scandal at the end of 2009 led to one of the greatest downfalls in sports. And with the Masters only two weeks away, Woods looks more capable of ever than resuming his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus in the majors.
Woods closed with a 2-under 70 for a five-shot win over Graeme McDowell.
The question two weeks ago was when he could play again. Now, it’s whether he can get back to player who once ruled golf.
Even though he won the unofficial Chevron World Challenge last December, this was meaningful for Woods — a full tour event against a strong field, and a performance so clean that he was never seriously challenged on the back nine.
The final hole was a mere formality, and Woods tapped his putter on the ground waiting for his turn, knowing that his 30 months without a win on the PGA Tour was about to end. He walked off the green with his arm extended, waving his cap to a raucous gallery.
“It does feel good. It feels really good,” Woods said before signing his card. “It’s been a lot of hard work.”
Woods finished at 13-under 275 for his 72nd PGA Tour win, one short of Nicklaus for second place on the career list. But that’s not the record Woods wants. He has 14 majors, four shot of the Nicklaus standard, and he tries to end a four-year drought at the Masters, which starts April 5.
“I am excited, no doubt,” Woods said. “I’m looking forward to the momentum I’ve built here.”

Tiger Woods’ former Swing Coach Hank Haney is writing a book about his days with the golf great. Before infidelity destroyed his marriage and image, Tiger Woods was on top of the world. Now those who were closest to him are making money off of his life. In the book, Haney talks about Woods ex-wife Elin Nordegren. He claims she wasn’t allowed to smile on the golf course when Tiger won, and that Tiger wouldn’t let her be openly affectionate in public. So what was the reason for the no smiling? Haney says Woods told her you don’t have to smile and be happy for a win because he is supposed to win; that’s their way of life.

Yes it’s true, he loved the women, and they loved him. He could never get enough sex with women almost like a nimph. Benjamin Franklin was a owner of slaves. Also he did not fly the kite in the storm he was so famous for it was a lie, it was a young kid that accomplish that. He was an accomplish inventor, so he gets credit for that.
