  • I didn't have anything intelligent to say about the Obama speech on his nutty minister. Over at the Corner, Charles Murray does. Bottom line:
    I can’t vote for him. He is an honest-to-God lefty. He apparently has learned nothing from the 1960s. His Supreme Court nominees would be disasters.

But the other day he talked about race in ways that no other major politician has tried to do, with a level of honesty that no other major politician has dared, and with more insight than any other major politician possesses. Not bad.
