Full-Blooded?? Heritage?? Blood equity??...okay, hat??

As I was surfing this morning, on my daily blogroll, I went to one of my favorite political blogs and read this post about some woman(Kathleen Parker)'s article about why WV residents didn't vote for Obama. okay so this woman quotes this young West VA, "'A full-blooded American.'That's how 24-year-old Josh Fry of West Virginia described his preference for John McCain over Barack Obama. His feelings aren't racist, he explained. He would just be more comfortable with 'someone who is a full-blooded American as president."' So this is crazy, this woman is Jewish, and yet, has the nerve to try to use the same argument against Obama as so many people use against her people. I just don't understand where this is coming from: since Obama is multi-ethnic/multi-racial, he is not a full-blooded American?? What is that exactly?? the only people here who can claim to be full blooded Americans are the native Americans(and there is some argument against that), everyone else is the descendant of some type of immigrant. So this whole nativist hatred of immigrants is unfounded, and utterly appalling. and the fact that this woman characterizes Whites as the "typical Americans" is just stupid....forget being PC...this bitch is off her rocker!!! I wanna know what makes on a typical American, b/c depending on where you are "typical" has a different meaning...at school "typical" means Black, in the US Senate "typical" means White and Rich...so I first need this woman to define terms before she starts to throw them out...enough said read the article, let me know how you feel!!

Breaking News: Sen Edward Kennedy(D-Massachusetts) has been diagnosed as having a malignant glioma. I did some research and found this: Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumor, accounting for more than half of the more than 18,000 primary malignant brain tumors diagnosed each year in the United States. These tumors are the second-most common cause of cancer death in the 15 to 44 age group.

The outlook for patients with malignant gliomas is poor. Median survival for patients with moderately severe (grade III) malignant gliomas is three to five years. For patients with the most severe, aggressive form of malignant glioma (grade IV glioma or glioblastoma multiforme), median survival is less than a year.

Surgery is recommended for all operable brain tumors and is usually followed by radiation therapy. Several studies have shown that adding chemotherapy to radiation can improve patients' survival. In June 2004, after the completion of the current study, researchers announced that adding the drug temozolomide (Temodar®) to radiation therapy increased median survival in patients with glioblastoma multiforme by about two months (see related story). This approach is now considered the standard of care for the initial treatment of these tumors.

IN other news: Barack Obama told the GOP to back off when it comes to Michelle, he told them could say what they want about hime, but get off Michelle. SO what do you think: Is he fair game?? When I watched her later explanation of her remarks...I understood her remarks..she said that for the first time she was proud of the amount of political involvement this race had created. so I don't understand the big hoopla when you look at the whole picture!!!
