Kathy Shaidle, proprietor of the Five Feet of Fury blog, never minces words – which, no doubt, earns her the ire of a host of PC types who find truth – hard or soft – difficult to swallow.
But her uncompromising candidness sometimes pays off in unexpected ways. For example, here is an email pertaining to black-on-black crime she received from a black man living in Detroit. It is a genuine cri de coeur, in which Kathy’s correspondent expresses his gratitude that somebody is paying attention to the horrible pathologies of the inner city, and their tragic results.

The single thing I will credit Barack Obama for: America is now having that honest conversation that Eric Holder said we were too cowardly to do. For it make any difference, it has to be honest on both sides, though, so I wonder how Holder and Obama are liking it?
