As long as QT is there, I will be pointing the way to QT:

Write on

To all those on the Internet who are endlessly forwarding the e-mail -- "Below are a few lines from Obama's books; in his words!" -- that includes such lines as:

•  •  "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

•  •  "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Barack Obama never wrote these sentences.

Put it another way: These sentences are made up.

Today's definition of the Internet: Countless people breathlessly waving copies of books they haven't read.
