sobo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Apparently, that honor may well go to Barack Obama: "...For example, 55% of European Americans classify Senator Barack Obama as biracial when they are told that he has a white mother, while 66% of African Americans consider him black.[61] Obama describes himself as black[62] and African American, using both terms interchangeably,[63] and is generally considered to be African American.[64]..." source I assume by your statement above that you're relying upon the "biracial argument" to exclude him from being considered an African American, yes? I wasn't thinking of that at all. I don't think Obama will win. Well, if he doesn't, I think that Powell will be too old to run in 2012. He'll be 75 or so. Nowadays, after the Reagan legacy, people don't want to vote for folks that old. IMO. 5K, at least claim your Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkporwit Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Goddamn it sobo!!! I need to go get me a job where there's less coding and more drinking. Anyone like that hiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The problem with being able to drink so much at work is that it tends to cut down on your motivation for climbing hard. I'm jus' sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice! At least they're (freshly turned) 6 and (soon to be) 4 years old now. I can see the end of The Dark Years approaching... sickie <== pot of gold at end of rainbow Ironically, it is my friend (and former climbing partner) whose Open House it is that I'm going to right now who coined that phrase.

No. 13 Baby Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I occasionally read those kooky conservative blogs for entertainment, and this comment is in a class of its own: Clarence Thomas would be a fascinating pick. An honorable man deeply wronged. I’d just hate to lose him on the Court. sulla on August 28, 2008 at 2:13 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendershot Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Palin, 44, who's in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state's top political job. Palin has focused on energy and natural resources policy during her short stint in office, and she is known for her support of drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, a position opposed by McCain but supported by many grass-roots Republicans. Her husband is Todd Palin, an oil production operator on Alaska's North Slope. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/palin.republican.vp.candidate/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
