Am I the only one who found Jeremiah Wright's speech to the NAACP fascinating, brilliant, and hilarious? My dad, Johan, I watched the whole thing, and were absolutely enthralled. The way he spoke about linguistics, etymology, ethnomusicology made me understand why Obama would sit in the church pew listening to this guy for 20 years- the dude is enthralling.
In sum, the NAACP speech made me 1) like Barack Obama more; 2) wish I was still in college; and 3) wish that I was studying ethnomusicology or some other liberal arts junk.
Maybe when Barack Obama is President, we can all talk about etymology, ethnomusicology, and hegemony all day long without having to dole out 40K a year to do so. A girl can dream.

right on and i mean right. no wright. not mr. wrong.
he is amazing and his speech was hard to believe.
the clinton gang is acting like the wild reverend is running for president. they are so painting obama with the less thoughtful rhetoric of reverend wright. that is mean and racist and i think reflects on their desperation and willingness to do anything to win.
guess what. tell her to knock it off. and her surrogates? lame.
you gave her money, she might listen to you.
i would so go to church and even join if a person like rev. wright was inveighing and challenging and inciting every sunday.
whoa doggie.
oh. i may miss a sunday or two. wonder if obama did. oh, maybe he was not there when some of the news reels rants were made. oh well.
180 some days til it will be over.
thank goodness.
