"House announces that President Obama is black." Wait, what? How did America's voters miss this? No wonder the right wing is all pissy!

- Also of note: ~ The Pope ignored the heat about protecting his crew. ~ His lackeys said the press confused Bishops with Jews then said that was misreported. ~ Twenty-five hedge fund managers made over $25 Billion. ~ ND and IU miss out to play in tourney, in Indy. ~ There were floods, another Tiger babe, Obama beat a guy at hoops wearing a tie + street shoes while Coach K. got grumpier as Duke piled up points and turned robotic in victory. I didn't check but I'll wager Dick Morris predicted bad for Democrats while he waxed about how smart they were when he was their leader.

That would be Charles Colson the national spiritual guide to ethical political behavior and the accountability of the executive branch? Or some other guy?
