"One way to reduce illegal immigration might be to translate some of our far left publications into Spanish and give everyone in Mexico subscriptions. After they read how terrible this country is, many may want to stay away."

Only Sowell could pull this off and make it stick. IMO, the money quote of the piece.

Nothing is more fraudulent than calls for a "dialogue on race." Those who issue such calls are usually quick to cry "racism" at any frank criticism. They are almost invariably seeking a monologue on race, to which others are supposed to listen.

Bears repeating.

Priceless. Sowell is a treasure.

It does bear repeating and it is so true. Ask Bill Cosby.

I agree that it’s the money quote and a great one.

Some people actually think that televising Congress gives us information. What it really does is give politicians millions of dollars worth of free advertising, while they play charades on camera to fool the rest of us.

We will be wandering in the wilderness for at least the next four years.

Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.

Ditto!

You’re right, way too many only speak to give a performance, and bad ones.

He really never misses. Once in a while someone will disagree with him but they’re usually on matters that can be legitimately debated.

This is about 50,000 times better than my idea of maybe having Mexico go Communist in their recent election, but that whole "oh yeah, we get oil from Mexico" thought really squashed that idea.

Maybe it’s the weather, but this post had me tears. I couldn’t help but hear Jackie Mason’s voice over a couple of the one liners.

If you’re a Mason fan, give it a try.

I love Mason’s videos and you’re right about some of Dr. Sowell’s Random Thoughts and I always look forward to the next one.
