Nice!

Meanwhile, and way off topic, I love this Jonah post at The Corner on Obama and his campaign:

I know I’ve vented around here before about the movie Dave. But the current mania for a “national conversation on race” — as chronicled in my column today — reminds me of it. In the movie, among the first of a whole bunch of Hollywood attempts to tell Washington how to run things in the 1990s, we have this Everyman plucked from the masses by coincidence and put in the Oval Office. He’s honest, he’s decent, he cares, he thinks outside-the-box and outside-the-beltway. He’ll bring fresh ideas, fresh insights, and newness to everything! And, after studying the issues, mastering our problems and putting our real needs ahead of the the special interests he comes up with this brilliant, penetrating, breakthrough idea to solve everything!

A jobs bill.

That’s right, a jobs bill! No one ever thought of having a jobs bill until then.

That’s how I feel when I hear everyone saying we need to have a “conversation” about race? Really? A conversation? Dialogue you say? Gosh, I’d never heard that idea before.

And my favorite quote from his column today:

“Maybe it’s just me, but aren’t most of the people begging for a “new conversation” on race the same folks who shouted “racist!” at anyone who disagreed with them during all the previous conversations?”
