Yeah yeah. I lied to you yesterday when I told you there’d be more new forthcoming.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s check in on one of my favorite idiots: Jesse Jackson.

From ESPN.com:

‘NEW YORK — The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Major League Baseball and San Diego police failed to protect Barry Bonds and should be trying to find out who threw a syringe at him in the Giants’ opener.“That fan should have been arrested,” Jackson said. “That object could have had a needle in it. It could have hit him. The commissioner of baseball must be outspoken in protecting any players whose lives are in jeopardy, whose security is at risk.” ‘

Wait for it…

“The object did not appear to have a needle, and Bonds called it a syringe.“It appeared to be of the size of something you would use to baste a turkey and not a syringe per se,” Padres chief executive officer Sandy Alderson said.

Richard Andersen, the Padres’ official in charge of Petco Park, said he was told by security officials that it was a toy syringe. He also said approximately a dozen other toy syringes were confiscated from fans entering the ballpark on Monday. One fan had several in his pocket and others had syringes taped to their shirts.

“It did not appear to be a medical syringe,” Anderson said.”

Now, while all reports indicate Bonds did, in fact, use a turkey baster to inject his massive hormonal cocktail - I think the esteemed Mr. Jackson might be guilty of his typical histrionics, here. A cooking syringe with no needle is hardly a terrorist threat to the herculean Barry Bonds, right?

I’m just waiting for Cynthia McKinney to rush onto the field screaming “Barry Bonds is only guilty of being a baseball player while black!”. Then she can take him home, pick the whiteheads off his back and make little victim babies to carry on the proud American tradition of taking absolutely no responsibility at all for your misdeeds.

It’s all society’s fault!
