Party at Henry Louis Gates' House!

Jim Geraghty notices a potential problem for Henry Louis Gates:

A Formula For Trouble

Let me get this straight: Because of the release of the 911 tapes, we know the street address for Henry Louis Gates. And we know he'll be at the White House on Thursday.

Is it just me, or is this an open invitation to burglars throughout New England?

Picture the 911 calls this week:

Operator: "911 Emergency."

Caller: "Yeah, I see two guys breaking into Henry Louis Gates house—"

Operator: "Real funny, pal, you're the third one today." CLICK.

Then again, people might not want to even make the call, lest they be accused of racism later.

I think I made that last point yesterday.
