Jeremy's journal

Somehow, Cleveland has survived, with her gray banner unfurled -- the banner of Archangelsk and Detroit, of Kharkov and Liverpool -- the banner of men and women who would settle the most ignominious parts of the earth, and there, with the hubris born neither of faith nor ideology but biology and longing, bring into the world their whimpering replacements.

...So even as I was writing my last post, news was coming out all over the Internet that Hillary Clinton is leaving the race. I guess my initial perception of the speech as a concession speech was accurate on some level.

In comments at Obsidian Wings, Cleek points out a beautiful bit of date synchronicity:

  • August 28, 1963: Martin Luther King gives his â??I Have A Dreamâ? speech.
  • August 28, 2008: The first black presidential nominee will give his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.

(And read the post to which Cleek's comment is attached; it's a fine one.)
