[John Leland 1789]

“This subject has been overdone, but anything by Thomas Sowell is worth reading.”

I’ve never ssen a subject, medium-rare, done, or charcoal’ed, on which Mr. Sowell is not worth reading. And I ask again, just wondering, why major conservative candidates have never tapped Mr. Sowell for administration posts, even for VPOUS.

Russert was OK but in contrast to the panty waist typical small minded, bigot found in all the recesses of the MoronMedia, Russert appeared to be a genius...the MoronMediacrats just can’t seem to imagine that they are not immortal. IIR, Russert was a slimey participant in the Scooter Libby travesty, did a cover ya azz.

The most likely reason is Mr Sowell does not want a government position. He is an educator and pundit. Why would he want to be a goverment official with the most frustrating job imaginable?

Sowell is trying to influence his students and the public. He is quite effective. Why would he want to run some branch of goverment for a few years. An educator and communicator is not necessarily an administrator.

Tom Sowell doesn't want to serve. You'll note he also makes relatively few public speeches or appearances. You never see him on TV shows, even "friendly ones" like Glenn Beck. I'm told Sowell personally just doesn't want to be bothered with that stuff. The ONLY television show I ever saw him on was the old Milton Friedman "Free to Choose" series, where he sat for two debate sessions of about 30 minutes each.

Certainly, also, if he were to be in government, he couldn't turn out three books a year.
