After the speech, the NBC coverage seemed to dwell on the "sixty years ago, couldn't be served in a local restaurant' part. So did NPR for just a moment, but not as long as NBC, who went on to interview a black schoolboy about what this means to him.

The guy on KTAR was harping about an alleged jab at white people at the end of the benediction, claiming that all the blogs were talking about it. The blogs he reads, anyway.

NPR has since moved on to what Obama said about relations with the Muslim world, and the Iraq war.

NPR's probably just stuck in MLK self-flagellation mode from yesterday.

yeah, there was a lot of "dude, MLK day was yesterday" moments in the broadcast.

The novelty of a black president will wear off eventually.
