1. Joe Wilson (R-SC) has decided he can make more short-term political capital by not apologizing to his fellow House members for his outburst during the President of the United State’s joint session speech. Sadly, he may be correct because early polls show him easily returning to his seat in the 2010 election.
2. This is not an excuse for the inexcusable behavior of Kanye West, who was unbelievable rude to Taylor Swift during the Video Music Awards; but it is clear that he has not recovered from the sudden lost of his mother two years ago. West still has not found the internal peace necessary to be at peace with others.
