House poised to apologize for slavery, Jim Crow
By Rizzuto

Tue Jul 29, 2008 - It's good to see that our Congress is coming up with practical solutions to modern problems. From CNN:
The House of Representatives was poised Tuesday to pass a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for slavery and the era of Jim Crow.

The nonbinding resolution, which is expected to pass, was introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, a white lawmaker who represents a majority black district in Memphis, Tennessee.

While many states have apologized for slavery, it will be first time a branch of the federal government will apologize for slavery if the resolution passes, an aide to Cohen said.
That should really sock it to the energy crisis! Meanwhile, Comrade Pelosi still won't allow debate on drilling to come to the floor. Eyes on the prize folks...eyes on the prize.
