Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was named in a misdemeanor assault warrant.   According to the police,  Haynesworth was accused of punching a motorist who had complained the NFL player was tailgating  him.  Shame Albert hadn’t been following  Dan Snyder.  In D.C. instead of a warrant he might have been given a medal.

Former New York Gov. David Paterson has paid a $62,124 fine fine from the state ethics board over free Yankees World Series tickets. Well, at least that’s one problem that will not happen anytime soon with the Governor of Ohio.

And on a rare serious note, it was 28 years ago today that Karen Carpenter died of a heart attack at the age of 32.  One of the bestvoices of many generations.  R.I.P.
