Teachable Moment
While the details are still being worked out on where, when and over which beverage Sgt. Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department gets to hear explained to him exactly why he is a racist by Teacher in Chief Barack Obama, I am left wondering exactly how many "teachable moments" concerning the presumption if innocence President Obama missed while in law school.
And while teaching law, for that matter.
Of course, Law School is only couple of years, so I guess a guy who can sit in the good Reverend Wright's congregation for twenty years and recall nothing is going to miss a few things.
iowahawk, as usual, hits on the real crux of the matter. It is class, not race.
Go here to read about the grim reality that faces A**hole-Americans.

Auckland publisher/author Gordon Dryden asks a quisoetn:Good article but a follow-up personal issue and query. The world now has more than 5 billion mobile phones: 916 million in China alone, and almost 70% of their owners access the Internet from their mobiles. The world's population will reach 7 billion by the end of this month. Many countries already have more mobile phones than people. And smart-phones (multimedia computers in your pocket) are the fastest-rising market segment. So one publishing challenge is how to present non-fiction information online so it uses the features of multimedia publishing (mainly video, but also photo and animations) so that it can be viewed (in one format) on smartphones, (on another) on iPads and similar tablet digital-video/eBooks (touch a photo and it morphs into an action video)? I suspect the first publihsing genre to make a 100% change will be sporting biographies. Who wants merely to read printed biographies of leading sporting stars, with only a few photos, when his or her life story can be told in well-stored and edited video-clips, interspersed with real-life videos? Who has some model layouts that combine smartphone presentations with iPads? Especially as the video-interview with the retiring star can have a separate how-to segment, to be sold as a separate app? Is anyone else working on this concept? Or has anyone got Steve Job's new email address in the Cloud?

This is magnificent. I emailed the link of this to a friend, who went to Harvard and Harvard Law. Not to gig him but he was the chief author of the St*rr report and went to a dinner in Cambridge. When he was outed as having written it, they were beastly to him.
He's really a good guy.
