Say What Now of the Day: NBA commissioner David Stern was a guest on today’s Jim Rome Show, where the exchange turned ugly when the host questioned whether the league’s draft lottery was fixed.

Stern turned on Rome — “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?” — thereby cementing his jackass reputation for all eternity. Because the draft is fixed, along with everything else in the NBA.

thedailywhat: Obama Revelation of the Day: In Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss’ new book, Barack Obama: The Story, we get quite the insight into the president’s bullying, pot-smoking past. Money quote: Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted “Intercepted!,” and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind. [buzzfeed]

Summer was a 5-time Grammy winner who shot to superstardom in the ’70s with iconic hits like “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff,” and “Bad Girls.” Her reign continued into the ’80s, with “She Works Hard for the Money” and “This Time I Know It’s for Real.” From TMZ: We spoke to someone who was with Summer a couple of weeks ago … who says she didn’t seem too bad. In fact, we’re told she was focused on trying to finish up an album she had been working on. [tmz] :(

Talking Heads- “And She Was (Early Version)”

I

I’ve never been shy about sharing my dislike and distrust of you. Put bluntly, I believe you are a snake oil salesman; a narcissist that would say anything to draw attention to himself.

—Texas Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, in an email response to Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, who had accused Carona of spreading rumors about his personal life. Both reportedly have aspirations to be the next lieutenant governor.  (via officialssay)
