thinkprogress.org — Today in a LA Times op-ed, conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg compared Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) plan to encourage volunteerism among students to a form of slavery, suggesting in the first sentence that “the black presidential candidate” might be violating the 13th Amendment.

I'm sure you're not going to get a lot of diggs for that comment but I'm right there with you.Why in the hell didn't Russ Feingold run for president?

If you are legally required to attend high school and then required to perform a certain amount of work, that's slavery. Making college students receiving fed aid perform some work is not slavery, but is still lame.
