Click here to view this media As MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur pointed out here, after President Obama had a pretty good couple of weeks in the news cycle, Fox looks pretty desperate with their latest attack on the administration. Here’s more from Media Matters — “Very Positive”: Fox News’ Smear Of “Vile Rapper” Common Debunked By Own Reporting : Conservatives such as Fox News, the Daily Caller and Sarah Palin are criticizing the White House’s invitation to rapper Common for a poetry event over the purported vulgarity of his lyrics. Fox Nation, for instance, called Common a “vile rapper.” But roughly half-a-year ago, Fox News had a different tone about Common. In an October 2010 report for FoxNews.com, reporter Jason Robinson interviewed the “rap legend” and told him, “your music is very positive. And you’re known as the conscious rapper . How important is that to you, and how important do you think that is to our kids?” Common replied that it’s a “significant role. I just try to show who we are as well-rounded people and I’m happy to be known as the conscious artist.” They really need to quit writing Jon Stewarts’ material for him over at Fox. They’re making it too easy for him with this sort of nonsense. And right on cue, Jon Stewart ripped them up for it tonight.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A 24-year-old jockey who rode this year’s Kentucky Derby second-place finisher to his only win was found dead in his vehicle Tuesday at Churchill Downs. Michael Baze of Glendora, Calif., was pronounced dead at 4:47 p.m. EDT in his vehicle parked in the stable area of the track, Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Jim Wesley said. There were no signs of foul play and the case was being treated as a death investigation, Louisville police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said. An autopsy was planned. Baze was a cousin of Hall of Fame jockey Russell Baze, the all-time leading rider in thoroughbred racing, and son of retired jockey Mike Baze, Churchill Downs spokesman John Asher said. An uncle and another cousin are also riders, Asher said. “Somebody coming out of that family, it always gets your attention when you see the Baze name,” Asher said. Michael Baze rode Nehro to a win Feb. 21 at Oaklawn. He was scheduled on at least one mount on Thursday at Churchill Downs, Asher said. His last mount was April 29 at Keeneland, and he had not yet ridden in Churchill’s spring meet, Asher said. Baze, who had been riding since he was 16, was the leading rider at Arlington Park last year. “This winter, he rode at Oaklawn, had 34 wins, had a very good meet, including a couple of stakes wins,” Asher said. Baze had 238 mounts this year with 34 wins, 41 seconds and 38 third places, and his mounts earned nearly $1.2 million, Asher said. He had 6,969 career starts with 918 wins with mounts earning $32 million. Asher called Baze’s death “a tremendous and unthinkable loss.” “He had so much potential down the road,” Asher said. “It doesn’t make sense to any of us right now.”

Obama’s “deliberate, almost scholarly” approach to foreign policy may be obtaining mixed results at best, but New York Times reporter Mark Landler trumpeted the White House line that the killing of Osama bin Laden would enable Obama to “reset” American policy in the Arab world: ” Obama Seeks Reset in Arab World – Speech Likely to Put Bin Laden’s Death in Context of Uprisings .” After years of falsely deriding President Bush

Because the current lineup of 3D capable HDTVs just aren’t exclusive enough, Bang & Olufsen has expanded its lineup with the BeoVision 4-85 plasma which will be available to North American buyers next month for a mere $85,000. While we prefer to save our riches for for even rarer sets like Panasonic’s 152-incher , the BeoVision system does include the triangular BeoLab 10 center channel speaker and a motorized stand that lowers it when you’re not watching. Either way, we won’t tell you how to spend your (presumably ill-gotten) ducats beyond pointing out the specs in the press release below, but those interested in staying one step ahead of the Joneses should remember a refreshed version of the 103-inch edition with 3D will be available this summer as well.
