Here’s his latest Yardbarker post on rallying people to elect Barack Obama in November. (I know he said he’s gonna raise the taxes on the top income bracket, Gil, but if he uses that money to improve our schools then you won’t have to worry about some kids trying to sell pictures of your pool online cause they couldn’t get a better job.) LOL Yes, Baron. Your laughing out loud symbol is appropriately designated. People with jobs will be ...

I’m not going to get in one of these cases where they blow the jury members’ houses up to get out of the trial”) is under fire from the Clippers’ Baron Davis.
