SAN DIEGO — Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley  Sherrod said Thursday she will sue a conservative blogger who posted a  video edited in a way that made her appear racist.
Sherrod was forced to resign last week as director of rural  development in Georgia after Andrew Breitbart posted the edited video  online. In the full video, Sherrod, who is black, spoke to a local NAACP  group about racial reconciliation and overcoming her initial reluctance  to help a white farmer.
Speaking Thursday at the National Association of Black Journalists  convention, Sherrod said she would definitely sue over the video that  took her remarks out of context. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has  since offered Sherrod a new job in the department. She has not decided  whether to accept.
Sherrod said she had not received an apology from Breitbart and no  longer wanted one. "He had to know that he was targeting me," she said.]]></description>

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Thursday rejected a bill to aid small  businesses with expanded loan programs and tax breaks,  a procedural  blockade that underscored how fiercely determined the party’s leaders  are to deny Democrats any further legislative accomplishments before   November’s midterm elections.
The small business measure, championed by Senator Mary L. Landrieu,  Democrat of Louisiana, had the backing of some of the Republican  party’s most reliable allies in the business world, including the United  States Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent  Business. Several Republican lawmakers also helped write it.
But Republicans leaders filibustered after engaging for days in a  procedural fight with Democrats over the number of amendments they would  be able to offer during floor debate, and what issues the amendments  would cover. A last-ditch offer by Democrats to al]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Prometheus 6 - All respect and no restraint Mr. Guichard said he expected to keep three of the five new workers  after the program ends. But the month before it began using  the  program, the gallery had four employees on its payroll (in addition to a  few  who worked hours as needed); none of these workers are still  there. Three left on their own, said Mr. Guichard, in part because they  were frustrated after their hours were cut and their income fluctuated. 
 But one — Mr. Guichard’s cousin Juan Rodriguez — was laid off. 
Mr. Guichard said he wanted to keep Mr. Rodriguez, a 24-year-old,  precocious curator and a “hard worker,” but decided not to because Mr.  Rodriguez did not qualify for Put Illinois to Work. 
 Instead, Mr. Guichard hired Mr. Rodriguez’s younger brother, Patrick, whom the gallery now can employ free.

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Snob Feed While I'm primarily known for my knowledge on politics, cultural issues and history, there are a lot of other things I know insane amounts of useless information about. Like sports! As I've mentioned in the past, Papa Snob is something of a sports aficionado. (Mama Snob is still staring out of the window wishing for this thing called an "off-season.") Meaning, I think I've seen almost every one of these press conferences referenced in this video at some point in my life. Most of them I watched as highlights on ESPN with my father. And how we laughed and laughed and laughed. Hence taking those moments of athletic braggadocio, autotuning them, scratching/mixing/cutting them up and setting them to a club beat makes me very, very happy. The only imperfection is that this track could have been an epic three hours long if they'd made it just of MLB players and coaches shouting things. It is summer, after all, and Tony LaRussa would probably enjoy another avenue for expressing his displeasur]]></description>

Sherrod has been offered a new job with the department, and the White House has apologized to her, but Sherrod has not yet indicated whether she will take the job.

He has not apologized for posting the misleading video, arguing that the incident was “not about Shirley Sherrod” and was instead about the NAACP’s accusation that the tea party has employed “racist tactics.”Of course this will only turn th]]></description>

Shirley Sherrod, who got caught up in the matrix last week, announced to the National Association of Black Journalists that she will be suing conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart for his release of an edited piece of video that made it appear as if Sherrod had willfully discriminated against a white farmer.

In a wide-ranging profile due out in next month&#8217;s issue of Details, Kentucky&#8217;s Republican nominee for Senate, Rand Paul, stands up for all the good things the controversial practice of mountain top-removal mining can do for the environment.

        <description><![CDATA[From: AverageBro.com [Editor's Note: AB.com NewsBriefs is now Hot Topics.]I'm clearing the deck for a much needed, very long vacation today. Here's the rundown...Jan Brewer Gets Pimp Slapped By The Feds- You and I knew that Arizona's immigration law, which essentially legalized racial profiling, wasn't gonna stand up in court. Yesterday, a federal judge blocked most of Brewer's law, essentially stripping it bare. For Brewer, of course, this is a godsend, since she can still use it as campaign fodder as she seeks to get the gig fulltime in November. And of course, once she wins in November, this will no longer even be an issue on the American radar. Because in case you didn't know, deportation of illegal immigrants has quietly grown under the Obama administration simply by auditing employers. In 2009 alone, more illegals were deported than during any of the Bush years. Of course, this sort of common sense legislation gets lost in the election year shuffle, but anyone claiming Obama's soft on illegal immigra]]></description>

There's too much sangin' and not enough fighting. Everything is so politically correct, and so educationally focused that the net effect is unoffensive, sanitized boredom.

July 27, 2010 by OshaDavidson
The Holy Grail of the solar industry — reaching grid parity — may no  longer be a distant dream. Solar may have already reached that point, at  least when compared to nuclear power, according to a new study by two researchers at Duke University.
It’s  no secret that the cost of producing photovoltaic cells (PV) has been  dropping for years. A PV system today costs just 50 percent of what it  did in 1998. Breakthroughs in technology and manufacturing combined with  an increase in demand and production have caused the price of solar  power to decline steadily. At the same time, estimated costs for  building new nuclear power plants have ballooned.
The result of  these trends: “In the past year, the lines have crossed in North  Carolina,” say study authors John Blackburn and Sam Cunningham.  “Electricity from new solar installations is now cheaper than  electricity from proposed new nuclear plants.”

The number of people caught trying to sneak across the frontier without  a visa has fallen in each of the last five years and stands at about  half of the record 616,000 arrested in 2000.

It's a relic of history.This isn't Dubois' NAACP. This is a group that is trying to hang on to its glorious past, while looking for something to do in the present to appear relevant. That might explain why they tried to take on the Tea Party.... a complete 180 for an organization that had been dead for many years on the political front. Their rustiness might explain why they chose their issue, without realizing that they were going up against the most powerful PR/Political machine in modern American history (the Republican Right wing media). In other words, they should have had their **** together. It's as if the NAACP arrived here from another planet...and didn't know how the game was played. That's why NAACP President Ben Jealous (who was one of the first "leaders" to throw Shirley Sherrod under the bus without checking the story) ended up being.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: AngryBlackBitch Yesterday a federal judge put the brakes on the meat of Arizona’s new immigration law.Specifically, the federal judge issued an injunction that blocks the provision that requires police to "make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested" if the officer determines that she/he has reasonable suspicion that the person is in the United States illegally.CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin points out that the federal judge’s ruling was based on the likelihood of the federal government to win their argument that the provision violates federal sovereignty and control of immigration laws.&nbsp; He also believes that this case will ultimately end up in front of the Supreme Court.Pause...sip coffee…continue.It’s important to understand that this ruling did not speak to whether the provision would violate a person’s civil rights.&nbsp; The judge did point out that the law could lead to the detention of citizens who are in the country legally...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Black 'n Bougie My blog cousin Slim Jackson wrote a post over at Three Ways To Take It on women who do not appreciate the random small gestures that men make. He felt that some women expected men to jump through hoops for their love. And he further goes on to say that it's really hard for men to even remember to make that effort because they are so caught up in their day to day lives.&nbsp;The effort isn’t because we’re reluctant. It’s because sometimes we get caught up in the flow of life and forget. Other times we don’t do things simply because we know that within hours, the gesture will be forgotten because it’s expected or because shorty got used to the small acts. I know women that have dated really nice guys who did stuff for them all the time, but let that dude mess up once. There’s a chance she’d hold whatever he did over his head for 6 months to a year despite everything else. I can speak to this because I’ve been that guy multiple times before.First of all, that's a trifling]]></description>

At first the incident was an embarrassment for the Obama Administration  and the NAACP, but apparently members of the right are getting jealous.  Some are obviously trying to outdo both parties in terms of&nbsp; humiliating  themselves:   From Talking Points Memo comes this: On Monday, former Reagan administration official Jeffrey Lord astonished the left and the right by penning an article in the conservative American Spectator   attacking former-USDA official Shirley Sherrod for using the term   "lynching" to describe the murder of one of her relative years ago. The   problem, according to Lord, was that the victim, Bobby Hall was beaten   to death by a blackjack, rather than being hanged by the neck.   "It&#39;s...possible that she knew the truth and chose to embellish it,   changing a brutal and fatal beating to a lynching."  Critics, even at his own magazine,]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Mirror On America The Obama Administration is under serious pressure to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich.  Insiders have been suggesting over the past week, that Obama & Co. is flirting with the idea of caving. Extending these tax cuts would dig the nation into an even bigger debt hole. Once again Republicans - who claim to be concerned about the debt & yearly deficits - are saying one thing and doing another, as is normal for them.The Republican media has carefully framed the expiration of the tax cut as a tax increase by Obama. The way that they manipulate the public through the media is just uncanny. They are making the Bush Tax policy appear as if it was a permanent law and the evil Democrats are going to radically change tax policy. Of course this is all BS.

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Loop - Former Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said at a National Association of Black Journalists convention Thursday that she will pursue a lawsuit against conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart.
Breitbart posted an edited video clip of Sherrod appearing to say she discriminated against a white farmer looking for assistance. The clip showed her addressing a chapter of the NAACP.
Breitbart &quot;had to know that he was targeting me,&quot; Sherrod said. &quot;At this point, he hasn't apologized. I don't want it at this point, and he'll definitely hear from me.&quot;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Mirror On America Ahhh... nothing like the sights and sounds of Racist Republican policies falling apart. And so it begins. Round one goes to the sane & rational. But the Right vows to fight on. From MSNBC:PHOENIX — A federal judge stepped into the fight over Arizona's immigration law at the last minute Wednesday, blocking the heart of the measure and defusing a confrontation between police and thousands of activists that had been building for months.Coming just hours before the law was to take effect, the ruling isn't the end.It sets up a lengthy legal battle that could end up before the Supreme Court — ensuring that a law that reignited the immigration debate, inspired similar measures nationwide, created fodder for political campaigns and raised tensions with Mexico will stay in the spotlight.Protesters who gathered at the state Capitol and outside the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City cheered when they heard the news.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Anderson@Large This morning, President Barack Obama will give a major education reform speech at the National Urban League’s annual convention. According to the White House media advisory, Obama will talk about his signature Race to the Top program:The President’s speech will focus on the dramatic reforms that states, school districts, schools and teachers unions have undertaken over the past 18 months, including steps to improve teacher effectiveness and transform persistently low-performing schools. During his recent appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Urban League President Marc Morial said they are “going to have a constructive discussion about race and education, race and jobs, race and health care.” That’s nice, but a lot of folks want a constructive discussion about race and White House West Wing.
