WELL SAID: Sen. Frank Niceley: “The people of Charleston are handling this tragedy with much more grace and poise than those determined to rescue them.”

UPDATE: Prof. Stephen Clark, in the comments: “Small men and women occupying or aspiring to occupy offices that they can not fill. Waving the bloody shirt at the first opportunity and expropriating the tragedy of others for their own base purposes. It isn’t that the past was a time filled with moral giants, rather that the present is occupied by so very many moral pygmies.”
