Help Jack Kelly of the Post-Gazette get his Obama-Ayers facts straight.
Jack Kelly of the Post-gazette has just published this article regarding the relationship between Ayers and Obama.
I believe it's misleading, void of facts, full of omissions. But maybe I'm missing something. If anyone has been following this issue, could you help set the record straight?
I'd like to email Jack the facts. Here's his published email address if you'd like to email him.

From the article:
Excerpts from "Fugitive Days" and from "Dreams From My Father" both scored 54 on reading ease and a 12th-grade reading level on the Flesch Reading Ease Score, Mr. Cashill found. Scores can range from 0 to 121. Excerpts from "Fugitive Days" averaged 23.13 words a sentence. "Dreams" averaged 23.36 words a sentence. Excerpts from Sen. Obama's second book, "The Audacity of Hope," average 29 words per sentence, and a ninth-grade reading level, Mr. Cashill said.
Is this guy for real? He's presenting this information as some kind of conspiracy between Ayers and Obama? I can't think of a single thing to say to someone with such a mindset that wouldn't be a complete waste of my time.

I know it, but are you sure the article isn't a snark. It's so ridiculous, it's just beyond my ken. Are you from Pittsburg? Is he a regular in the paper and if so do people take him seriously?
