Last week, President Barack Obama went on a tour of Japan, China, and South Korea. Conservatives criticized Obama for bowing to the Japanese Emperor.  This is not the first time the President has bowed. Shortly, after his inauguration he was spotted bowing to the Saudi King during a G-20 Summit. The bows are simple gestures that could ultimately lead to better foreign relations which depend on trust and friendship. Just look at the old guys face, he seems very pleased and at ease.

Looks like Juan Pierre is going to get that playing time he was looking for. With the recent suspension of Manny Ramirez, Pierre has already seen more action and is currently batting .400.  

The roller coaster doesn't seem to want to end for Lakers. On Sunday they got beat by 12 in Houston. Then Tuesday they win by 40. Game 6 is going to be in Houston. Will the Lakers show up?

President Barack Obama has backed out of releasing photos of detainees being tortured. Sky News reports that the Pentagon was going to release 43 pictures. President Obama said the photos would cause anti-American sentiment which would not be good for troops abroad. Looks like President Obama isn't too different after old Bushy after all. He even has his own war to fight.

Today the news media giants started speculating that Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel might have known of the Illnois Governor Rod Blagojevich's pay for play scheme.

Not even inaugurated and the President Elect is under scrutiny. Very easily this can be compared to the Valerie Plame Plame affair that the Bush administration dealt with which was linked to the Vice President, Karl Rove, and possibly the President. What happened to our change?
