BASEBALL CARD COMPANIES SUCK
Published 6/2/2008 at With Leather - Sports news and gossip for people who are all, like, "Whatever."
... Upper Deck created both cards you see here for its Series II baseball card set.  Never mind that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton don't play baseball.  Never mind that they won't be lifting each other up when one wins the Democratic nomination.  The important thing is that Upper Deck has made an honest mistake in putting the Hillary winner into the sets.  A total accident.  Swear. ...

Upper Deck Makes Totally Innocent Obama-Clinton 'Mistake'
Published 6/2/2008 by Eamonn Brennan at FanHouse
... You know how in political campaigns, any time you say something that is either a) racist/sexist/whateverist, b) a glimpse at your vast misunderstanding of basic policy issues, or c) an outright lie, all you have to do is say you misspoke, and all will soon be forgiven? Yeah: Upper Deck could go for some of that. ...

I'd usually be inclined to make a "pot caling the kettle black" joke here, but since it's about something Tiger Woods said, it might break the momentum of the post-racial age we've entered into with Barack Obama's nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate. Anyway, Woods called hockey boring , which is ironic because so is golf. Also, he's black, just like the pot and the ...

Obama wins the Democratic presidential nomination. This is so significant that I am taking a day off from sports to talk about it. OK, no I’m not. I don’t care that much. Good for him. He won the nomination when Hillary Clinton, excuse me, Hillary Rodham Clinton (Why does she insist people say her middle/maiden name? Just another reason to hate her?) conceded the nomination to him.

Conventional wisdom says the fight for the Democratic nomination for President is over. Barack Obama is under 40 delegate votes away from the "magic" number of 2,118, and with him guaranteed to gain at least 15 tomorrow (and likely closer to 17), 34 House members set to endorse him by Wednesday, and at least 15 Senators ready to endorse as well, the nomination battle is over.
