Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Bill Moyers

From:  weneedtostop.com
Last night Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright sat down for an interview on the PBS Bill Moyers Journal television show. It was a pretty generically bland interview, lacking detailed explanations and all of the charisma, as noted in THOSE sound bytes we've been bombarded with, and I am not certain whether the timing was good in doing this interview.

Filtering Barack Obama's Speech on Race

Filters are fantastic things. Nothing can ruin a nice cup of coffee or tea faster that a mouth full of grounds or leaves. Blech. I don't even want to think about what would be floating around in our drinking water without filters in place. Blech. Blech....blech. I've experienced how well a car runs without an oil filter in place. It doesn't. Proper UVA and UVB filters in sunglasses keep our eyes protected. Eye cancer is a horrible disease. Filters block all sorts of bad... Read Full Story
