Wednesday Night Link Love

Of all the responses to yesterday’s Barack Obama speech, Russell Arben Fox has written my favorite: The Speech. It’s a lengthy post, but worth the push. BlackAmazon has a briefer, but in its own right quite powerful take.

Lynn writes on being “white and ethnic”.

Our Descent proffers the Proust Questionnaire.

Sylvia on Shirley Chisholm, the first candidate for president for whom I wore a button (age five).

Jessica at Jezebel posts in response to Elizabeth Wurtzel’s piece in the Times, and my “blowback”. She gets my name wrong, but that’s okay. My great-great-great grandfather was named Hugh Goodfellow, so you can call me Hugh all you like.
