NY Times Op/Ed: I Care About the Black Folks

This is- by the way- the last "free" access we will all have to the NY Times' op/ed pieces-- unless we feel like shelling out a cool $50 per yr. I haven't decided what to do... but most of me says: "F-ck 'em... my kiddo needs that $50 bucks- the Times does not" but we shall see. Anyhoo, check out Frank Rich's op/ed "I Care About the Black Folks". His comparison to the Wizard of Oz and W is masterful: "Once Toto parts the curtain, the Wizard of Oz can never be the wizard again. He is forever Prof Marvel, blowhard and snake-oil salesman. Katrina, which is likely to endure in the American psyche as long as L. Frank Baum's mythic tornado, has similarly unmasked George W. Bush." Tis sheer genius.
