WHEN I GOT TO THE OFFICE THIS MORNING I had a voice mail from Mark Kleiman saying that I should be happy that Air America has displaced voices approved by the likes of Alton Maddox and the Nation of Islam.

Well, yes. I hope that no readers interpreted my post as an approval of either Maddox or the Nation of Islam, and it’s kind of hard for me to imagine that they did.

UPDATE: Reader Dominique Petitmengin emails: “Isn’t Alton Maddox’s a ‘legitimate voice’, to use an expression really Kerryesque?”
