So how are the major wire services covering the story of Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and his insane, hateful statements blaming America for 9/11 and suggesting that the US created the AIDS virus to wipe out black people (among many other deranged comments)?

Answer: they aren’t. Neither the Associated Press nor Reuters has a single story on the wires about this. And that means the story is not being mentioned in most of the daily newspapers of the United States.

The Wall Street Journal does have a piece this morning: Obama and the Minister.

Bob Owens asks, “What kind of man would expose his children to this lunacy?” Wright and Obama: It Only Gets Worse.

This is Frank Zappa saying, Don't do speed. Speed turns you into your parents. -- this used to play OFTEN as a public service announcement(PSA) on radio station WHFS at 102.5 FM in bethesda,MD.USA during the early '70's. it was followed by a nearly inaudible whisper, "...but grass and acid are o.k.", which may have been frank, or one of the mothers.
