Robert Campbell Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Adam,No, it isn't. And not just because Scott Brown voted for FrankenDodd and doesn't want anyone to think he might (horrors) be a global warming skeptic.Elizabeth Warren's claim to be 1/32 Cherokee is not only completely unfounded but thoroughly outrageous. She obviously expected—and got—professional advancement out of it.She has consistently refused to meet with representatives of the Cherokee Nation. Why would that be?Language like this, excusing Warren's strategic, umm, confusion of Brown with Todd Akin, now with Jim Inhofe, tells us all we need to know about Politico:Polls have shown that Bay State voters prefer a Democratic-controlled Senate. And strategists on both sides saw Warren’s approach as a preview of an argument that she would emphasize more in the coming weeks.Politico's mission is to get Democrats elected and keep them elected. It's occasionally informative, more by accident than by design.Robert Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDS Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Good to know all the important issues are getting discussed. Now, if the country were in imminent danger of going bankrupt, I am certain that that prospect would the central focus of this campaign. Fortunately, we'll only be bankrupt in about 4-5 years, so why sweat it right now? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Folks:Here is, if it is true, an astounding and egregious cover up of a "crime" in the state of Massachusetts. Elizabeth Warren’s law license problemPosted by William A. Jacobson Monday, September 24, 2012 at 7:37amMaintained private law practice at Cambridge office for over a decade but not licensed in MassachusettsThe debate last Thursday night between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren covered ground mostly known to voters.But there was one subject most people watching probably did not know about, Elizabeth Warren’s private legal representation of The Travelers Insurance Company in an asbestos-related case.http://legalinsurrec...icense-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9thdoctor Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 This is starting to get some attention. I'm offended that they used the Florida State University chant in this way. BTW, is that "tune" only used by my alma mater? Do other colleges with native american themed team names use the same thing? My understanding is that it's not even remotely authentic, FWIW.

Selene Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Dennis:The Tomahawk chant is a staple of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. I used to love the absolute contradiction of watching Jane Fonda in her box seat doing the chant...how un-PC lolHere is how it started - Deon Sanders came from your school...

Robert Campbell Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The Seminoles/Braves chant appears to have been the work of some Hollywood soundtrack composer. Not even vaguely authentic, but great for audience participation.I don't know exactly when Braves fans started doing it. The Braves ownership did eventually retire Chief Nok-a-homa and put away his teepee.Robert Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
