"I think they should but they won't. They intended exactly what they did. They were looking for the result they got yesterday," she said of Fox. "I am just a pawn. I was just here. They are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person."

Morning, comrades!
I don't understand how this is not illegal; there should be talk of suing the pants off Fux and Breitbart right now.

There is talk. Ms. Sherrod has said she is mulling over a number of lawsuits, including the federal government.
Vilsack apologized, but the damage is done. I know if I were in that position, I would be suing, no question about it.
PErhaps this might actually get people thinking about the fairness doctrine again. I do not fault the White house for this, I fault the media and the USDA for not even bothering to talk to Sherrod about this before they made the choice to fire her.

Hey DC folks...is there a "route 19" and a "route 4" locally?
Listening to an old Superman podcast (circa 1941) and they have referenced these roads.

*snort* I said that to a local at Colonial Williamsburg once...
"I'm from Boston - your straight streets and orderly place names confuse me."
(For example...each borough of Boston has a "Washington Street" and they are all different roads.)

Plenty of "Washington"s here too. In Atlanta, it was "Peachtree"

All this discussion of "racism" makes me wonder if we're using the correct term:
Racism: The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Bigotry: stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.
They profit off of hate, bigotry, misogyny and racism.

As I said n the blog:They profit off of hate, bigotry, misogyny and racism.
I see what you are saying, but I think that people are profiting off of the intolerance.
I have tried, and perhaps failed, to make it clear the difference between a bigot and a racist.
There is good reason to use BOTH terms. I would suggest using the word Misogyny as well. These are separate things, they have separate meanings. This is all tied together.

Av-dorkiness for the day...
Wiley Post completed the first solo round-the-world flight on this date in 1933. I trust the Washington contingent is taking care of his plane? (Winnie Mae, at the Udvar-Hazy center....the NASM has Amelia's plane instead.)
And we've got jets screaming low over the building right now, the wind has shifted. I still need to get some videos of the GE-engined jets for the union boys up in Lynn. (My brother builds 'em.)
