    And yet they are probably going to continue the fiction that Ole Miss and Mississippi State are actually two separate institutions.

    The argument for programs "pulling their financial weight" is why only PE is taught in redneck schools. You think Arithmetic pulls its own weight? When is the last time you went out and bought a ticket for one?

    Well, the chairman of the Republican Party is of African-American descent, so racism's solved!

    Perhaps the courts will have to step-in, but what I found somewhat troubling in the linked article is the way, the prose and quotes kept referring to the affected institutions as "black colleges".

    As Pareene points out and the article occasionally admits, they are "historically black colleges". To simply call them "black", sort of screams separate, but equal.

    On the news this morning, the teaser for this bit of news referred to him reaching a "special milestone." I thought they were going to say he walked without crushes! I was going to do a dance in his honor.

    Is it coincidence or strange and inevitable fate that Sen. Byrd should, in his old age, begin to look like the very creature for which he is, sorta, named?

    At least Strom tried to bridge the racial divide.

    @Taren: He, of all people, should have done something about it then. WV dog fighting laws rank 46th out of 5o states in severity, according to this:
    [www.humanesociety.org]

    This is as of two weeks ago. Michael Vick was convicted in August, 2007. He's a racist.

    @son of spam:

    He's the senator from W. Virginia, not the governor. He doesn't have the power to make or change their laws. As a senator, he can only vote for federal laws and if any that deal with dog fighting manage to reach the senate, then we'll see what he really thinks. Also, declaring that one black man should get the death penalty does not a racist make.

    Of course I do. I also know that Sen. Byrd has spent decades making up for past wrongs. He's apologized and his voting record has, in my opinion, made up for that. If that's not good enough for you, then that's your opinion.

    Since he's a Democrat, he gets the benefit of the doubt that he's "probably still an old racist, but the sort of old racist who knows it is not acceptable to be racist anymore."
