I really liked the Burris press conference yesterday. What I heard was a black man, experienced in leadership and in being a black man IN leadership, asking his press audience of white babies if they'd ever done a lynching before, because they were not doing it right and therefore he would have to tell them how to try to go about it, which they would then not be able to do. Masterful, really, but then I'm FROM Illinois and I probably read it all differently than folks from elsewhere.
