Ash Wednesday Sermon by Paul Zahl

This sermon is one of the better ones that I have ever heard (fast forward a little bit to get past the intro and turn up the volume once the sermon starts). His Good Friday 2003 sermon remains the best, however. PZ rocks like a guitar hurricane (Browder's Cheap Ripoff Contest).

Selma

Obama's Selma Bounce
By Dick Morris

Will March 4, 2007, the 42nd anniversary of the Selma, Ala., march for voting rights, propel Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) presidential candidacy with the same force that Sept. 11, 2004 energized George W. Bush’s pursuit of a second term? The day clearly belonged to Obama, despite the efforts of both Hillary and Bill to turn it into Clinton Day. Obama’s speech was inspirational, challenging African-Americans to assume responsibility and participate in the political process. By contrast, Hillary’s speech, replete with a phony Southern drawl — the same one she used to effect in Arkansas — smacked of pandering. But Hillary’s attempt to paint the events in Selma as seminal in her ability to run for president seemed forced, artificial, and contrived. She appeared to have confused the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with those of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and to have mixed up the 15th and 19th amendments to the Constitution.

Read it all here:

Will Selma ever be allowed to heal? Do all these people realize that, trampled under their political aspirations, lies a town that might like to heal from the grievous wounds of the 1960s? These people could not care less about the city of Selma. - DOB
