There's been quite a bit of hubbub the past couple of days after it was revealed that some State Department contract employees had accessed Sen. Barack Obama's passport file.

I must confess that while I'd read about Obamamania I hadn't quite grasped its depth and the hold that it has over Obamamaniacs until I read the comments on my "Obama's big speech" post. Obama is brave to give this speech. Obama's talking about unity and I should only judge him by his words and […]
