    Is there any way NOT to seat Jefferson? I guess not--they tried it with Adam Clayton Powell and it didn't work.




    As for Japanese film, etc. it's like Apocalypto--we live in a culture of ignorance. Accordingly when we see crap on the big screen we say "boy those Maya were barbarians. Maybe it was good the Spanish came and killed them all."

    Hey Carmen -- thanks for the correction. Should have known you'd be on top of it.




    As or Jefferson -- unfortunately, I think we have to wait for the system to spit him back out. It will be slow, humiliating and painful. And not just for black people either. Pelosi's got a real PR problem on her hands here. Thanks CC.
