Of all the things that get your attention...

So Colin Kaepernick is in the news. Yeah, this happened a few days ago, and I am just now getting around to it. So, is he in the news for some kind of spectacular sporting achievement, nope.

Sorry, while the DNC is in bad shape, nearly as bad of shape as the GOP, its not going to go down for the count, right now anyway.
