Good.
I think we try to hold ourselves to a higher standard than texters.

Richard Fernandez compares Obama's speech to
Robert Kennedy's in 1968 after Dr. King's assassination.
The saddest and most striking thing about Kennedy's speech is how similar its themes are to what Sullivan called "a speech we have all been waiting for for a generation." It's almost as if a needle had been taken off a track on a vinyl record and seamlessly spliced with the tracking laser on a CD. Today the sound recording is better. The video is in more vivid color. But the current cast resembles the original only in parody. Where RFK was eulogizing Martin Luther King, Barack Obama was talking about Jeremiah Wright. The words are the similar but different; and the times congruent at points but in altogether changed circumstances.
Read the whole thing.
