even bad press is good press.

consider this and try to help

So it made me really physically sick to hear that Brad was attacked last week by a Yuengling truck driver with homophobic rage. Brad, being the hyper-intelligent, reasonable guy he is, has attempted to sort this situation out in the most diplomatic way possible with little to no help from Yuengling. Yuengling will not provide the name of the distribution company that the driver works for, allowing him to essentially walk away from a hate crime with no consequences or disciplinary action.

Please read the full story from Brad here -

Repost, call Yuengling HR VP Nonie Zukas at (570) 622-4141, pull a civil disobedience move, whatever you want. Let people know that this is not ok.

Barack Obama took a “tough love” message to male youth, telling them that finishing high school is a better route to success in life than an unlikely trip to the NBA or the top of the rap industry.

“You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil’ Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school,” Obama, D-Ill., told a cheering crowd.

Obama said he knows some young men think they can’t find a job unless they are a really good basketball player.

“Which most of you brothas are not,” Obama, who played basketball in high school, a sport he continues to play to this day, said jokingly. “I know you think you are, but you’re not. You are over-rated in your own mind. You will not play in the NBA.”
