And we're back. Once again thank You Two Who Know Who You Are for the absolute best birthday dinner ever in the history of my entire life. What I *thought* I knew about sushi? I was wrong! Completely and totally wrong! I might as well have been living in a cave!! Of course this means all future sushi will pale in comparison, but what the hell.
Anywho, the plan was to resume with normal service, first rolling out interesting tidbits found in various reader feeds and emailed links while away until I got back up to speed. But I returned to ... let's just call it Complications Ensue ... and the blog needs to go into Occasional mode until all is sorted out as best it can be. So I'll leave you with the obvious for now, and toss up what's in holding later until I can return to real-time.
The Speech and transcript all in one place and interactive to boot.
- David Walker's interesting and deeply personal reaction. (I loved his 'zine back in the day. His article Why the brother always gotta die? is fondly remembered.)
- The Rev. Kent Millard of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis said he felt Mr. Obama had explained the reality of the relationship between a pastor and his congregants.
“Senator Richard Lugar, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is member of our congregation, and I would hope he would never be held accountable for everything I have said in the last 15 years,” said Dr. Millard, who is white. “Why is there any assumption that a person in church is expected to agree with everything a pastor says?”
- More react links to come, once I have time to go through them all, placed here mostly (as with most things around this place) for my own benefit.
