It's sad to see what the NAACP has become. An organization with such a prestigious beginning and history has become a joke; most black people are no longer members.
Mr. Jealous' comments are as ridiculous and asinine as those who are amazed by Mr. Jealous' skin tone.
During my senior (or maybe junior) year at Annapolis, the MIDN Black Studies Club hosted the remaining Airmen. To the man, they recalled losing planes during missions; it happened to all bomber escort squadrons. It was the Army Air Corps (later, Air Force) that perpetuated that myth.
@slobis - I think Charles McGee was part of that group.
I vividly recall fellow mids who wanted to fly after graduation and officers who were pilots and NFOs crowding the meeting room. They didn't want to pass up the chance to meet living aviation legends.
Watching this the first time, the CBS sportscaster's sarcasm flew over my head. But, he was actually praising Tebow by highlighting some absurd behavior from other NFL notables (Vick, Brady). It flew over my head and that of Howard Kurtz.
I am vaguely familiar with Tintin as a comic fan but this looks really good. I hope it does well in theaters but I'll wait to see it on blu-ray.
I have to agree. A lot of posters here are being reactionary. Rep. Cantor seems to want to take the time to craft a bill that is effective. Besides, isn't the old saying "Haste makes waste"?
I love "Red Eye", the show works with my arcane and slightly raunchy sense of humor. The show speaks to me. So I'm elated to hear it's doing so well. Now if I could just get a TiVo or DVR...
This man was very brave, he answered questions with aplomb and directness. His straight answers reached some in crowd. I particularly enjoyed his answer on corporations supporting their private interests in a public forum, possibly the best I've ever heard on the subject. I couldn't tell if they were mocking his support of Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan, however.
Yes, it was a stupid way of framing the question but I think the vitriol leveled at Chris Wallace is just as bad. He was asking her about how she is perceived in DC. He was giving her an opportunity to answer those perceptions, which - as Wallace admitted - she answered well.
I believe Chris Wallace is an excellent interviewer and is a strong supporter of Fox's tagline: Fair & Balanced. I would rather he ask those he interview tough questions (even if they feel a bit insulted afterwards) than get softball questions like the Alphabets!
This topic is still getting replies? After getting called "racist" by 4truth4country, I stopped looking. BTW, what is/was a pro forma admission? I never heard that term before.
I knew you were a troll when I first read your reply but I had to see how far you'd go. What was the phrase? "Once you call someone names, you've lost the argument"? Since you can't debate a topic without hyperbolic insults and name-calling, I don't have to detail the difference between the Federal US Service Academies (where all cadets/midshipmen receive full-scholarships) and HBCUs (the correct term), which are state universities.
Thanks for losing the argument.
