The other day, my Ghetto Self (28-year resident of the North LBC, government cheese eater, third-world refugee) sat down with my Educated Self (two graduate degrees, former legislative aide, now university instructor) to talk Obama, Hillary, and Shakespeare.

A 65-year-old Texan called into Fox News Radio’s Tom Sullivan with this gem: Obama sure sounds a lot like Hitler. It’s not the message or the style, the caller said, just, you know, the inspiration.

Clinton continues to write off Obama’s relatively small-state wins and is looking ahead to March 4th and the contests in Texas and Ohio.
