Quiet Riots, aside from being an American heavy metal band, is also the theme of the AP’s coverage of Sen. Barack Obama’s speech to black ministers in Hampton, VA today.

“Obama warns of ‘quiet riot’ among blacks” is not the headline Obama might have expected from his speech. ~Marc Ambinder

Obama seems to like this theme of “quiet” problems.  It was part of his response to the Virginia Tech massacre, and it seems to keep cropping up in all the strangest places.

Incidentally, does Obama know when Hurricane Katrina actually happened?  He keeps talking about “19 months ago,” but Katrina made landfall in late August 2005, which was 21 months ago.
