Too bad this doesn’t mean she has to give up her seat today.

Apropos of my post yesterday, bloggage probably won’t resume until tomorrow or possibly Thursday. The bifocal lenses are supposed to be ready tomorrow…we’ll see.
Till then, go visit Rachel Lucas and read her fine rant on Hillary Clinton.
Ta.

Durn it. James Taranto is on vacation, so Best of the Web is on hiatus. Who will the Arab News have to pick on for the next three weeks?
Probably Little Green Footballs.

What a moving tribute by Richard Dreyfuss on NRO today. Bravo.

Durn it. The over-40 disease kicked in over the weekend. I can barely read the screen. *sigh* I guess it was due to happen sometime…so it’s bifocals for me now. Arghh….

Oh, and another link from Mr. Willis on the subject here.

I guess the “Millions for Reparations March” was a complete flop. Apparently the crowd was numbered in the “hundreds”. Horowitz has it exactly right:

America did not create black slavery, but ended it. The civil war was won. America has outlawed segregation and discrimination. The civil rights cause was victorious. It’s time for everyone including Randall Robinson and Charles Ogletree to get used to it, and to move on to more productive debates.

Amen. Many a young and promising life was lost on both sides in the war that freed the slaves. How much more blood do you want?
