KOEB Meeting: 08/27/10 Too Many Black Presidents? Edition

[rocktivity]

I don't understand why Keith is making a Politico story with unnamed GOP sources a lead story. The Rethugs may take bigger pieces of Congress, but they won't take it over. I'm glad Wolff calls it out as a mere tactic.

[Berry Cool]

13. I cannot believe this Mississippi school thing!

How could they have this kind of de jure discrimination in a school in 2010????

[SeattleGirl]

20. Well, one thing you can say about it:

At least it's blatant racism, instead of the "couched" racism of say, the Tea Party. :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Why? Wasn't it going to be nasty enough for Ted?

:shrug:

[rocktivity]

11. Hmm, the school has been running the presidential elections this way for 30 years

What's different now? The fact that AMERICA has a black president?

:headbang:

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

[GigiMommy]

28. OH YUM!!! Thanks!!!

Hi SG!!!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

27. Good for you!

:hi: It looks as if it may be that the school alternated years when a black vs. white student could run for a particular office. But sheesh...that's how they had to force integration of the offices? Can you imagine doing the same with boys vs. girls??

(Edited to add: What if an Asian kid wanted to run for office? A Hispanic? A Native American??)

[GigiMommy]

19. This is so sad... so so sad.

My Dad was from Mississippi and he swore that he would NEVER return. He didn't.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Can't blame him, Gigi.

[ralps]

31. Today's worst person in the world is Rep. Mary Fallon who's running for Gonernor

of Oklahoma! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow:

[Berry Cool]

34. Fridays with Thurber

and we get eyeglasses-free Keith again. :loveya:

[GigiMommy]

33. Good gosh!!!

William Windom is still ALIVE!?!:wow:


(P.S. I remember that show. MAN, I'm old.)

[SeattleGirl]

35. I remember that show too!

Guess we'd better head to the rockin' chairs, Gigi!

[CBHagman]

36. So do I, Gigi.

You've got a lot of company. And boomer babes rock.

Now let's get on with the Friday festivities. Allow me pour you another one...
