This "sailing" thing sounds easy...

So some dude at CNN decided to play Walter Mitty and thought he would make the sport of sailing his victim.

Blackwell for RNC Chair?

So Ken Blackwell is looking at tossing his hat in the ring for RNC chair... Just what the Republican party needs to counteract Barack Obama: A guy alienated the minority community with his actions in the leadup to the 2004 Presidential election, spent a significant portion of his spectacularly unsuccessful 2006 gubernertorial campaign sidling up to evangelical mega-church ministers, and is (charitably) a poor public speaker.

But hey, at least he's black, so that's good right?
