Reffered to a Nehru boat race, occurs annually

--
For a few months every year during the monsoon season, the state of Kerala comes alive with colorful snake boat races.

What`s a Snake Boat:
Fortunately there`s no need for concern, as snake boats get their name from their shape rather than anything to do with live snakes! A snake boat (or chundan vallam) is actually a long traditional canoe style boat used by the people of the Kuttanadu region, in south India`s state of Kerala. Typical snake boats are 100 to 120 feet long, and hold around 100 rowers. Each of the villages in the region has its own snake boat, which they take great pride in. Every year the villagers get together and race the boats along the lakes and rivers.

`Here are the details that every American needs to know about this plan,` President Obama said at the beginning of his powerful health-care speech to Congress on Sept. 9. It was a sentence that many Americans had been waiting for quite the opposite of much that has preceded it in this raucous debate and he proceeded to lay out the elements of health-care reform that he considers essential. He did this clearly, concisely, using language that was mostly jargon-free a triumph of speechwriting on this mind-numbing issue. It was also a fighting speech. Obama called the talk of death panels, started by the disgraceful Sarah Palin, `a lie, plain and simple,` which drew explosive applause from the Democratic side of the aisle. He promised to `call out` those who told lies about the plan, a powerful threat when it comes from the President. Finally, it was a moving speech that addressed an aspect of health-care reform that is often forgotten the moral responsibility that we have toward our fellow citizens by reminding the Congress of who Ted Kennedy was and why this was so important to him. The President made health-care reform a national-character issue, which is precisely what it is.
