What's the connection between Donald Sterling's ownership of the Clippers and the Republican Party?
Recently, I ragged on the Republican Party. So in the spirit of equal time, I ought to give the Democrats their due.
But I’m skipping the Democrats’ turn just this one time.

If you live in New York City, the longer you’re here, the more and more the most popular thing to do is to go out and eat. Sure, New York City offers great theater, tons of sporting events and a myriad of conventions, performances and attractions.
But at the end of the day, almost everyone precedes going to the theater with a pre-show meal. You wouldn’t dare go to a Yankees game and not buy a hot dog. And just about every other attraction in New York City will bring food directly to your mouth if you’ll pay for it.

Only in this money-driven, capitalistic, can’t see any further than 3 months in the future society, can a company with “fried chicken” as its money-maker be national partners with Susan G. Komen for the Cure (SGKC), a breast cancer education and research non-profit based out of Dallas.
Are we serious, America?
Am I the only one aware that oily, greasy, deep-fried meats increase the chances of developing cancer?
Probably not. But perhaps no one at the SGKC is aware of that, because they are taking fifty-cents for every bucket of KFC chicken sold, guaranteeing them a check for anywhere between $1 million and $8.5 million. It’s quite astounding, don’t you think?

The G.O.P. Party will not last—at least not in its current composition.
Of course, this is not news. This is not even noteworthy. All I am really saying is that history is repeating itself.
The Republican Party has been devastated by every major cultural advancement in our nation’s history. From slavery and suffrage, to environmentalism and civil rights, the G.O.P. rarely manages to hold its stuff together when the times around them are changing.

For those of you who don’t read Mark Cuban’s blog, you need to get on board, because the man knows what he is talking about.
The billionaire is most known for his exploits as the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. While owning a professional basketball team alone makes him an expert on media and entertainment, he happens to be much more than a basketball owner. Cuban is the chairman of HDNet, and was the founder of Broadcast.com.
Thus, when the man speaks about the state of media, people should listen…or read in this case. Recently, on his blog, Cuban tried to enlighten sports fans, as well media executives, on the prevailing issues of both the broadcast industry and sports entertainment.
