And now, some more of that fertilizer!

A March 28 letter by Michael Schindel about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Sen. Barack Obama was revealing. Schindel's judgment that Wright is a "black bigot" because of the remarks he made about his lifelong experiences with racism, discrimination and poverty seems to indicate that Schindel has some personal acquaintance with bigotry.

Schindel also believes the favorable reaction of most people to Obama's speech on racism is evidence that they cannot distinguish between "caviar and fertilizer."

Schindel's letter does not appear to be caviar.
