I&#8217;m a recent fan of former Obama administration green jobs czar, Van Jones. Though I was vaguely familiar with his work prior to him coming to work for the Obama White House, the controversy surrounding Mr. Jones (and his unfortunate resignation) these past couple of weeks gave me a crash course into Van &#8211; the [...]]]></description>

Stanley Crouch, a writer whose pragmatism I usually appreciate, wrote the following:
&#8220;&#8230;Malcolm X was one of the naysayers to American possibility whose vision was permanently crushed beneath the heel of Obama&#8217;s victory on Nov. 4&#8243;

My wife told me this morning that this was the &#8220;first time she wanted to wave an American flag,&#8221; and I feel her.
