Truer Words? Never Spoken

The dependably astute young Adam Serwer neatly points out the obvious about the meme du jour that Obama is tackling too much.

A word to the wise for those who think this line of argument will actually succeed at curbing Obama's ambitions: A black man who just got elected president of the United States is not going to be daunted by a bunch of talking heads telling him what he will or will not be able to do.

Does anyone actually think that President Obama would abbreviate his aspirations because beltway pundits think he should?  And as far as journalists go, they have become sheep, harmoniously bleating the new idea.  They are lazy and static and uninterested in real stories.

Wonderful Rest

Here's my bit of bigotry.  I think anyone who doesn't get some spirit moving in them when they hear a good gospel choir is in league with Satan.  By the end of this video, I was boo-hooing with joy for a good 5 minutes.

H/t Jack and Jill.
