The Ami-Jeff Bezos scandal is set up to dominate headlines for a while. Who knows where it will lead? In the third world, an oligarch-president proxy war playing out in public like this usually presages a coup.
If this were Thailand or Uruguay, bookies would already have odds on a Bezos-Mark-Zuckerberg-Sundar-Pichai junta being in power by May.
This scandal will at least drag us through unprecedented legal and ethical conundrums. Can the president use the surveillance powers of the state to go after political enemies? Can a billionaire...

What makes Embiid the more modern day version of Oden is that he has a great outside shot and a personality to boot. Oden was a beast and had so much potential but off the court he was always a little awkward. Embiid is not at all. In fact he seems like one of the funniest and

[[tmz:video id="0_9tuiq1el"]] Clippers Coach Doc Rivers has some soothing words for Greg Oden ... telling TMZ Sports he doesn't think Oden is the biggest bust in the history of the league ... even though Oden said he was. We got Doc out at Catch (doesn't anyone eat anywhere else?) and asked him about Oden's heart-wrenching admission that he considers himself the biggest bust in the history of the league. Sad to say but Oden's got a good case for...
