The editors at VDare tacked the following message onto Steve Sailer's recent article about Obama's community organizing experience: Steve Sailer’s book tentatively entitled The Half-Blood Prince: Barack Obama’s ‘Story of Race and Inheritance’ will be available ANY DAY NOW!

Goodness. If you think the recent books about Obama have caused a storm, just wait until this book hits the shelves, assuming, of course, Sailer has found a decent publisher.

Update: A funny but likely true comment from Takimag:

James Joyce’s Ulysses is that novel that everyone in the smartset claims to have read, but, truly, no one ever has. Sailer’s volume would become that book that everyone would actually read, but then, when pressed, would deny knowledge of the book’s very existence so as to sustain one’s reputation for anti-racist tolerance.

James Taranto today on community organizing:

"It is both funny and scary that one of America's major political parties would offer this record of sheer futility as its nominee's chief qualification to be president of the United States. Even more striking, though, is how alien the world in which Obama operated was by comparison with the world in which normal Americans live.

Reader, when your toilet breaks, do you wait around for some Ivy League hotshot to show up and organize a meeting so that you can use your collective strength to wring concessions from the powers that be?

Or do you call a plumber?"

The (accidental) governor of New York today declared that criticism of community organizing has "racial overtones." The new last refuge of the desperate.

Just when I was starting to have some empathy for the Gov for standing up to the health care and teachers unions on spending .....
