This time challenging the blackness of Congressman Artur Davis.

Quote:
At a CBC Foundation reception on Wednesday night, Jackson denounced Davis’s vote, saying, “We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill from Alabama. You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”
Rev. Jesse Jackson injects race into healthcare debate with Davis comments - TheHill.com

Artur Davis is likely to be the next governor of Alabama. While I don't agree with him on many issues, I do respect his penchant for going against various establishments to do what he thinks is right. He's still a politician and his vote against HC may have simply been aimed at winning the gov. race but I think he's the front runner anyway.

A while back, he publicly apologized for voting against more oversight of Fannie/Freddie admitting that the committee (Frank's) missed the boat on that. AFAIK, he's the only D to admit that.

Having JJ insult him makes him more likable in my book! ]]> Politics volinbham http://www.volnation.com/forum/politics/86683-jesse-jackson-injects-race-into-hc.html Is This Racist Towards BHO? http://www.volnation.com/forum/politics/86678-racist-towards-bho.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:29:55 GMT The owner calls this a tribute to BHO.

The way I understand it is debt isn't that bad on a national level if we have sufficient GDP growth, but I am wondering what economists generally view the healthy proportion to be.

Boy do I hope we have Chris Walker around for another season... after reading the article on the FCA meeting involving Mike Edwards and Janzen Jackson it made me a lot more comfortable with the future of the program even after the debacle of the previous two weeks.

I just found it so amusing when everyone and their brother was convinced that Bryce Brown was going to be trouble and lucky to last 2 seasons on the football team. This kid is one of the most religious people you would ever meet, and a great influence on his teammates.

I'm not trying to pull everyone back into a Fulmer vs. Kiffin debate, but it feels like we've got rid of most of the cancer that was eating our program from the inside over the last decade and have established real leadership and discipline. Believe me when I say this will eventually give us the extra credibility we need when we're trying to recruit future players mothers.

The future is strong with guys like Anthony Anderson, and Bryce Brown... and I'm more excited than ever for the future of the program. ]]> Politics oUTKickedCoverage http://www.volnation.com/forum/politics/86378-religious-leadership-team-bryce-brown.html Did you like Pres.

Whats your opinion? This has caused a big stink among the citizens of Nicholasville. Some agree with the two employees who were fired while others disagree with them.

I don't think they should have been fired. I think that the library should put age restrictions on certain books.

Anyway, it had a few numbers about the Swine Flu.

22 million infected
3900 confirmed deaths

Now using 8th grade level math, that appears to be a .017% mortality rate.

Is that any different (or actually better) than mortality rates for your regular, garden variety seasonal flu? ]]> Politics Rasputin_Vol http://www.volnation.com/forum/politics/86214-h1n1-virus-facts.html
