Jake Plummer drives a Honda Element!? He’s a starting QB, doen’t he get a Cadillac just for showing up or something? Or sorry, that is just for the SuperBowl MVP.
Police: “We have no record of your 911 call.”
Jake Plummer: “I Pinch.”

Broncos QB Plummer denies road-rage incident
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer insists he’s not a hothead and denies backing into another motorist’s vehicle in a road rage incident last month.
Plummer said Wednesday the other driver bumped his tailgate at a red light in south suburban Denver after zipping through traffic on his way to deliver a check to charity on April 20.
He acknowledged cutting off the other motorist while talking on his cell phone.
“I waved in my rearview mirror and even said sorry. And all I heard was incessant honking. When I pulled up to the light, I felt a bump on the back of my tailgate, which was very surprising,” Plummer said.
He said he got out of his 2005 Honda Element to check for damage. Finding none, he got back into his truck, drove away when the light changed and called 911 to report the incident.
From Bloomberg, published today:
Congressional Leaders Challenge FBI Raid on U.S. House Office May 23 (Bloomberg) — House and Senate leaders challenged the constitutionality of an FBI raid on a lawmaker’s office, saying it broke a 219-year precedent and raised concerns about the separation of power between the administration and Congress.

In short, the Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate agree on something other than to give themselves raises: the FBI should leave our offices alone when attempting to collect evidence against us.
My gut-shot reaction is to call bullshit. If it is okay for the FBI to come into my office and collect evidence against me in the process of a valid and legal investigation, then they should be able to do it to anybody assuming the same standards apply. Granted, the offices of senators and congressmen contain sensitive information, but so do offices of bankers, lawyers, and health practitioners.
Can anyone explain the big Constitutional problem here (I am missing it)? Is this something other than a case of “we make the law so we can protect ourselves from it?”
Badges for Jews and Christians. That definitely rings an historical bell.
