Cassidy up the River w/no paddle & racist trash in the Senate


Too bad about Cassidy, he's about to be on lockdown. Even though I didn't like the direction he was going, making raps advocating drug selling on his latest, "Im A Hustla" due the 28th, I thought the boy was nice. Don't drop the soap, Cassidy!

More importantly, I've been interested in the apology the Senate made for failing to act against lynching in the past. However, in this day and age, there are some senators who didn't seem to agree that an apology needed to be made. Can you believe it? Here they are:

Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Christopher Bond (R-MO)
Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Conrad Burns (R-MT)
Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Kent Conrad (D-ND)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Michael Crapo (R-ID)
Michael Enzi (R-WY)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Trent Lott (R-MS)-big surprise there! LOL.
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Richard Shelby (R-AL)
John Sununu (R-NH)
Craig Thomas (R-WY)
George Voinovich (R-OH)

These people:
1) Refused to co-sponsor the anti-lynching resolution (complete resolution below) and
2) Refused a roll-call vote so they'd have to put their name on the resolution

Thanks so much to "The Talking Drum Newsletter" for getting this information out.

Here Are the Reasons Lynchings were done. Some are downright stupid. In the backwoods of small town Amerikkka, it seems like justice was taken into the hands of mob rule. No matter the reason, this evil can never be justified. Never again.
