The president and the preacher

Here's a bit of irony. On the weekend that Barack Obama will be inaugurated as the next president of the United States, his old pastor Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright will also be in Washington, D.C., speaking at the Howard University Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel.

Rev. Wright has a standing engagement to preach every Martin Luther King Birthday weekend. As fate would have it, that weekend coincides with the inauguration. Wonder if they'll have time to catch up. :-)
