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.

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.
