America Hits Rock Bottom

Maybe they promised James a new t-shirt.
I am not sure which is worse: Secretary of State John Kerry, arms folded, watching James Taylor sing "You've Got a Friend" to the French president or Reverend Al Sharpton screaming that he has to call an "emergency race meeting" about the absence of black nominees for this year's Oscars. Both instances make me even more embarrassed to be an American, a feeling that started six years ago with Michelle Obama saying she had never been prouder of her country. (Funny coincidence.)

Now I am wondering what's a race meeting, how they convinced Taylor to do it and where to move.
