Today’s photo of the shows Barry Bonds as he waves goodbye to the fans of San Francisco. Although the Giants showed little class in their treatment of its greatest player, Bonds bid farewell to the city with grace dignity.

Today’s video of the day shows President Bush’s comments about Nelson Mandela. Apparently, the inarticulate commander-in-chief had much of the world thinking that the former South African leader had passed away.

Today’s photo of the day shows Bill O’Reilly, who is coming under national fire for his recent comments about his dinner with Al Sharpton at Sylvia’s Restaurant in Harlem. He said:

I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by blacks, primarily black patronship.

“It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun,” he said. “And there wasn’t any kind of craziness at all...”The band was excellent, but they were dressed in tuxedoes, and this is what white America doesn’t know, particularly people who don’t have a lot of interaction with black Americans,” he said. “They think the culture is dominated by Twista, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg.”
…There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, “M-Fer, I want more iced tea.”
