Entertainer Bernie Mac and Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman were both injured over the weekend in separate incidents. So explain to me, if you can, why Google’s headline was “Obama Backers Bernie Mac and Morgan Freeman both Hospitalized”. What the hell does the fact that they are allegedly Obama backers have to do with […]
