Crazy things are happening

I was reading Sean Wilentz piece in the Daily Beast and got pissed off readin him defend Andy Young and Bob Johnson for the dumb shit they said during the primaries. Wilentz actually called Johnson "one of the most respected deacons of the African-American community." But I decided I wasn't going to be pissed. In fact, it was actually quite small of me to be pissed. Instead I'd remember that the best meditation on Barack Obama I've heard--bar none--was delivered, freestyle, by a disciple of Martin Luther King. The fact is that Barack Obama would not have been elected, not just without the past struggles of our greatest generation, but without their current support. They don't want to all be Bob Johnson. We don't want to all be Pacman Jones. Don't believe what they tell you about a "generational struggle." Even when the "they" is me.

Get used to this clip. I may post it ten times tomorrow--though I wish I had better video. Who can tell, indeed.
