The Reverend Wright  —  Oy.  —  And furthermore, I've been to dozens and dozens of African-American church services over the years, including the investiture of one of my friends as an AME minister two years ago, and I have very rarely, if ever, heard the kind of rants that are part of Reverend Wright's canon.

Eric Pianin / Rough Sketch:
For Obama, a Voice of Doom?  —  The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, explaining this morning why he had waited so long before breaking his silence about his incendiary sermons, offered a paraphrase from Proverbs: “It is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club  —  I read over at Michele Malkin's, and later at Ace Of Spades, about Jeremiah Wright's impending speech at the National Press Club for an “NPC Breakfast”.  Michele had links to the Free Republic's intention to protest there, so I packed up my cameras and headed over there.

INITIAL THOUGHTS ON THE SUPREME COURT'S OPINION IN CRAWFORD, THE INDIANA VOTER IDENTIFICATION CASE  —  Today's much anticipated decision in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board is a significant win for those who support stricter voter identification laws, even if they support such laws for partisan purposes.

Hillary Strangelove  —  AMERICANS have learned to take with a grain of salt much of the rhetoric in a campaign like the current Democratic donnybrook between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  Still, there are some red lines that should never be crossed.  Clinton did so Tuesday morning …

Hillary Gets No Respect  —  I normally don't claim to speak for other members of the vast right-wing conspiracy.  After all, we're each nefarious in our own, individual way.  Indeed, we often disagree with one another.  —  But I do think I can speak for most of my fellow right-wingers when I say this …
Ezra Klein / American Prospect:
ARUGULA?  —  When did arugula become the new latte?  Newsweek is using it as the counterpoint to beer (which, though drunk by hipsters and sold in Trader Joe's, apparently denotes blue collar cred), but does that register with folks?  Arugula just looks like...lettuce.  I couldn't even identify it offhand.
